When people went to bed Saturday night there was no guarantee the UNLV football team would play in a bowl game. Then came Sunday morning and a phone call to Athletic Director Tina Kunzer-Murphy that announced the Rebels would have to wait until 2014. Well, a few hours into it anyways.

Who would have ever thought that UNLV would be playing in a New Years Day bowl, said fourth-year Rebels coach Bobby Hauck.

The Rebels (7-5) accepted a bid to play in the Heart of Dallas Bowl against North Texas (8-4) on Jan. 1 in the Cotton Bowl. The game will air on ESPNU at 9 a.m. Las Vegas time.

The final tally had 79 Division I teams reach bowl eligibility for 70 spots. That included seven Mountain West teams for six league-affiliated games.

Kunzer-Murphy worked her phone all week, talking to Mountain West Commissioner Craig Thompson, bowl officials and leaders at ESPN Regional Television, which operates five of the leagues six games plus several others nationally. The Heart of Dallas Bowl is a new one under ERT control.

It appears most people are excited over a New Year's Day bowl game. Playing on New Year's Day has been the goal of every college team for decades and both NT and UNLV get to do just that for the first time.

Second time for UNT, played in the Salad Bowl in the 40s(?) on New Year's Day.

      The Band

      Thats fantastic. They should have their own unique uni's with their school colors. Or at least have some sort of insignia on their NT uniforms. I have written MANY TIMES to the school of music expressing my concerns about the Green Brigade. Daniel Cook actually ask me to watch a practice where they debuted the North Texas fanfare. Something that he either composed himself or had someone in the school of music compose. Daniel (Dr?) Cook inherited a pretty crappy version of the Green Brigade. The most significant change he made was the fanfare. The rest is CRAP. The Band is unwieldy and bloated, and the best word (besides crap) to describe the pre-game show is "perfunctory". They just go through the (musical) motions. At the Army game, as the Band was at mid-field playing the fight song I stood up and did the traditional clapping along with the band, but I kept yelling "TEMPO! TEMPO! GET THE DAMN TEMPO UP! Get to the middle of the field with energy and forgodsakes STOP PLAYING THE "AMERICAN EMBLEM MARCH". That is Junior High stuff. THIS is what a College Band looks like......or is SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE. This is the closest thing to what the North Texas Band used to look like in the 60's-early 70's, under the late, great Maurice McAdow........only the McAdow Bands played better than these guys. But everything else (including the Uniforms) were pretty much the same. So I ask, do they have more talented musicians than us? Do they have more pride than us? I'm interested in hearing from "letsgiveacheer" about this.
