His first glimpse of what North Texas has to offer as a potential bowl participant convinced Brant Ringler that it wouldn’t be a bad idea to head back to Apogee Stadium for the Mean Green’s homecoming game.

The executive director of the Heart of Dallas Bowl was impressed yet again after seeing the Mean Green hammer UTEP 41-7 on Saturday in front of a crowd of 26,119, the second-largest in Apogee history.

Liberty or Lets go to Honolulu.

Honalulu?!? On Christmas Eve? Your nuts, good sir, especially since the HoD payout is much better.

Yea besides, how expensive it would be to go to Hawaii? Where is the Liberty Bowl?

Liberty Bowl is in Memphis on New Year's Eve Day

[foutsrouts]

The Liberty isn't too bad of a drive. Get on I-30, cover the whole state of Arkansas, and you're there. Wonder what Beale St. is like on New Year's Eve?

[MeanGreenD]

Heart of Dallas Bowl is only one I could attend, so selfishly rioting for that one...

Of course, I would trade it in to go to Apogee for the CUSA Championship.

HOD vs Iowa,Northwestern or Michigan sounds nice

[filmerj]

I too selfishly want a HOD bowl, but I'm sure Mac wants to give these guys a special trip. And I can't blame him for that. My schedule works out for me to be able to go to all but Hawaii, st Petersburg.

Yes, it's a tough call since the vast majority of us would prefer to be in Dallas, yet if we are in Dallas, we don't have much more than a snowball's chance at breaking into the Top 25 for the first time since the 70's. I guess that's just one of those conundrum deals that will happen how it happens.

Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death!

[Green Mean]

It may be tough making the Liberty Bowl for me but obviously it's better for the team if we go there. But certainly the HoD would be pretty damn epic as well.

[meangreenfreak]

Liberty Bowl would be a great honor. It's an older bowl with history. Memphis is an easy drive from here so attendance should be solid.

Heart of Dallas is a great second choice, but most people have never heard of the Heart of Dallas Bowl.

This past spring flights on American bounced from between $800 to $2200. And considering December is Big Wave season the championships will be getting going you can expect a crappy hotel room(if there is such a thing) to cost you $350 and up a night.

Why do they even have a bowel game in Hawaii.... I wish someone would step in and limit the bowel games and make it more clear! Then work on conferences being more regional.

[mgfan]

Why would we want anything less than the liberty bowl! CUSA CHAMPS!

I don't think anyone would show up to a BOWEL game, No matter where it's held. Edited November 10, 2013 by filmerj

That's obviously the toilet bowl.

I've played in a few of those in my fantasy league..

Liberty or Lets go to Honolulu.

Seriously?

[GrandGreen]

I'll go against the crowd, I don't think the HOD bowl is much a reward for the team. I would not be against Hawaii for that reason even though it is the one bowl I would not go to. If Liberty is for the championship than that is where I want NT to go.

[LongJim]

Liberty should definitely be the goal. HOD would be my next choice.

[emmitt01]

Heart of Dallas has the most expensive ticket price at $75 (also the highest payout after Liberty).

Luckily I can getmy hands on lots of free HOD tickets...though I would buy one to help NT's allotment sold.

[Hunter Green]

If we go to the Liberty Bowl, will there be buses going for those who can't stay the weekend?

[Rudy]

It's not that hard of a drive.
