Not even on the radar of the "most under-the-radar" bowls

It's gotta be hard for UNT to market a game to it's own area/market when it seems no one in the college football world seems to care about it.

Apparently, the HOD is nowhere near their radar.

I would love for this game to have something epic happen to make people regret not paying attention to it. I would like to see a hard hitting game where it comes down to the wire. Something like a 31-28/21-20 win. Maybe overtime. Yeah, it would be great to blow out UNLV, but i would love to have a game that has plenty of people talking that night or the next day. And there's nothing better than last minute heroics.

Stop fretting. Get up, have a couple bloody marys to clear the NYE cobwebs. Go to the game. Have fun at the game. Get home safely. Rinse, wash, hopefully repeat next year.

I'm generally not a very positive guy. People call me a cynic, a curmudgeon, unpleasant to be around. But I love that we're playing in Dallas on a day when I don't have to work. Any other bowl, even the BCS national championship, there would be no way I could attend.

Totally agree. I'll be there! And I get loud!

Well, I could take the low road and say the writer doesn't even know enough about us to include in his article but I think that I'll take the high road...no New Year's Day bowl is ever under the radar.

Instead of it being close, I'd like a highlight reel with 2 main things on it: our D hitting them really hard over and over again, and Brelan returning punts and kickoffs at an insane level over and over again, all on the way to a blowout. I really doubt it, as I expect it to be close, but that's the kind of thing that would make people pay more attention. If they didn't care before, 31-28 with or without overtime probably won't make them care, but something like what I described would help with the "holy crap look at that" factor.

HOD Bowl officials taking a G5 school as our opponent did not help our cause or ticket sales (although I think those are going well with 2 weeks to go).

Word is they could have picked from Pitt, Syracuse or Boston College since no Big 10 school was left to play in our bowl game. Those 3 hardly Top 10 schools, but far ahead of any MWC school.

WTH...I've got a $75 ticket and no one is going to spoil New Years Day for this alum

The deal is, some sort of classic OT type of game will get highlights. If we blow UNLV out, they'll probably just list our score and not even show anything. Not with some of the other NYD match-ups.

Obviously I wanna win 56-0, it just might not be the best national TV coverage wise.

I am glad we are not on this dumb-ass list. I think that shows well for us it is clearly a positive we are not in this article and we are not under the radar.

      Build your team

      I’ll take your starting 5 and reserves with two changes. Give me Umoja Gibson in place of Woolridge and JJ Murray over Reese* *My son would kill me for taking Reese out (he is his all-time favorite Mean Green player) but I think I have enough scoring and I can’t pass up JJ’s ability to take on the opposing team’s best scorer.

      Dept. of Education says Title IX applies to payments to athletes (NIL)

      Let’s be honest Title 9 is the dumbest ruling ever and always has been. I am all for women’s sports, I am all for schools offering scholarships for those sports if they choose to. Requiring every school to have an equal number of scholarships when football takes 85 is so beyond crazy, and this is crazier. Something meant to benefit female athletes has clearly been detrimental for men’s sports. We are not the only school who doesn’t have men’s soccer or baseball because of it, although someone has posted here before that’s not what’s stopping a baseball program from starting. We have 100x a chance of placing a player in the pros (or USMNT) in soccer and baseball yet we don’t have those programs. Truly makes no sense.

      A plea to our "football-only" fans

      😂 All those schools you mentioned have significantly more football accomplishments than UNT and frequent (sometimes deep) entries into NCAA tournament. It is just a bad comparison. You can expect to microwave fan support on a level with those schools from one NIT title which at best (perception wise) makes you no better than 30-20th basketball team that year with your stars and coach leaving the team before the next season. I make 4 out of 6 Saturday Football games a season. I like being outside in good weather. I don’t live in Denton and the last thing I want to do after work is drive for an hour in rush hour traffic to get to a volleyball or basketball game. I suspect the average alumni that doesn’t live in Denton or border city feels the same way. I made a home game the year they won the NIT and preceding season. The SuperPit needs work, concessions food wasn’t good with long lines to get it. I guarantee the fan experiences at the home basketball arenas of the teams you mentioned aren’t like that.

      Best UNT BBall team ever?

      I think we’re a good team that’s trending up. An at large bid is unlikely…we’d have to win all/most of our games, strong showing in the Conference Tourney, and have no surprise teams taking any auto bids. NIT is still a GREAT tournament. It doesn’t get the media hype, but it’s good basketball.
