Teams to be announced December 2

Anyone know what time the HoD Bowl committee is supposed to announce the teams they have chosen?

I've been following today, and I added them on Twitter. I haven't seen anything about a time yet.

Not being announced until next Monday per HODBowl twitter. Freaking suck.

[MeanGreenTexan]

They wont announce until next week Monday.

I'm starting to believe this... although their website still says today.

[Rudy]

They tweeted that December 2 was last year, they will announce next Monday.

Unfortunately the website saying Dec. 2 wasn't updated from last year (not official bowl site). We will announce our teams next Monday.

LAME SAUCE!

Booooooo that man!!!!

[Mean Green Eagle]

D'oh!

The suspense continues...

I called the UNT ticket office today (12-2-13) and they said CUSA does not intend to announce the Bowl teams until after the conference championship game in a week. They are anticipating the HOD Bowl but not definite.

That is because if Rice loses they C-USA Championship game they will expect to go to Heart of Dallas as the consolation. C-USA will be in a pickle because UNT will bring more fans but they need to keep Rice (a legacy member) happy.

It's not up to CUSA, though.

I'd put money on HoD.

Then they better send NT to the NOB otherwise our fans won't travel huge numbers to Hawaii, Florida, or Washington DC. I certainly won't go to those three bowels.

It's all about the $$ for bowl committees. Rice will not bring them $$. Why do you think Lafayette gets the NO bowl every year even though better teams deserve it?

Very good point.

Do keep in mind, however, that Banowsky is on the board of directors for the HOD Bowl; and if he is firm that the C-USA team they should pick is Rice, there is a good chance that the rest will follow his lead.

[NT03]

I'm sure the HOD wants no part of Rice and their 200 traveling fans..

This could be the case.

I think Banowsky would need to do a lot of explaining though. And even if he does, I think $$ will be too big of an argument against Rice and for North Texas.

Rice has an average attendance of about 21,215 but with the help of home game with Houston (34,831). Without that game they would likely not be above 20,000.
