HOD BOWL Ticket Sales Update

[PlummMeanGreen]

Plummer, let's not forget where all those New Orleans Bowl "UNT" fans traveled to. Yes, New Orleans! Destination city.

HOD is in Dallas. Great city, for sure, but not New Orleans.

Still, I think we'll have a nice contingent of UNT fans at the HOD Bowl. More than New Orlens.

This will all boil down to who wants to come out and support their school's football team at the historic Cotton Bowl on New Years Day. A New Years Day bowl game seems to have gotten much of our fans undivided attention adding to the a festive bowl environment.

Your are right, Dallas cannot compete with the Big Easy as a destination city, but I think Big D's locality to where most North Texas alums, students and fans live will more than make up for an all night drunk on Bourbon Street. Just my .02.

GMG!

Why is the messenger always the first to perish?

Who declared you messenger? It seems like you know about as much as anybody else. Which is jack sh!t.

So you don't know jack crap, either? Then why are you so pissed? Because my opinion differs from yours?

No.

No.

Hey, buddy. How's you head feeling. ;-)

Same as it did last night.

Yeah old man,you never had any wild nights of going on crazy internet tangents on message boards as a youth? Get with the times.

[UNT90]

Still about to explode, eh?

I kid, I kid. ;-)

Ya, but back then I had to scavenge to find the fermented berries, gobble them down, then find a smooth stone, carve the message, and throw it at the other party.

Kinda a buzz kill.

Did you ever drunk telegraph your ex?

[ChristopherRyanWilkes]

Pony express her that you wanted to get back together?

[UNT90]

Pony express her that you wanted to get back together?

No, usually I just hit her over the head with my club and drug her home.

Apparently you aren't familiar with my Pie forum posts?

I've never seen so many people so pissed off over going to a bowl game.

Where you been? Don't you know about the wrinkled hundred dollar bill fans?

[jdennis82]

This. Right. Here.

I'm all for pre-game discussion of how attendance/ticket sales are looking in case it does motivate others to attend or drag more to the game, but I know one thing for sure...

I feel bad for the ones on the board whose enjoyment of the game itself will be robbed as they look around frustrated if attendance doesn't meet their standard.

I think George or Hank mentioned tickets to the bowl game between Syracuse and Minnesota were going for $4 on Stubhub and ranked as the bowl with lowest amount of interest based on ticket interest.

[Eastwood Eagle]

Bowls need to become more regional. It makes little sense for a school from Minnesota and a school from New York to be playing in a 70k seat stadium in Houston.

As a side note, in Houston they are advertising that game like crazy on TV. Hopefully HOD is doing the same up there.
