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

[MeanGreenRoadrunner]

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.

speaking of not even on the radar...

[UNTcrazy727]

We are the first football game on New Year's day so that's a plus. Problem is, it's on ESPNU so a lot of people won't even know to look for it

Of course I'm kidding......sort of.

Not sure it is a bad thing not to be on this list. Maybe they just don't think our bowl is under the radar.

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.

^yes

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.

As I've said before, somehow SMU is behind this snub.

People who mouth their "dis" for the HOD Bowl can kiss my rosey green arse ! MGN will be at the game with Mac and the Team and we will have the time of our lives yellin', drinkin' and winnin!

Go Mean Green, SEMPER FI Bros !!!!!

We will get some extra viewers.

We all know them: those guys that will watch a 9am kickoff on a Saturday February at the Subway parking lot, so long as it involves a football.

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

GMG!

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.

7 overtimes running all the way through everyone else's games? UNT 77, UNLV 74...

[ParksAndRecRick]

Gang, don't worry about any of that. How we can make a difference is do all we can to get 20,000 Mean Greens plus out to the game! It is our first bowl in 9 years. Let's keep the mo on our side!

[KingDL1]

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.

[DirtySavage]

[meangreener]

I think it's a great thing. Shows that people think we'll easily dispatch UNLV.

Is this a bit?
