Idk if anyone noticed but we're the only bowl not being broadcast on ESPN ESPN 2 CBS ABC FOX all major channels, not everyone has ESPNU and even though I really like getting a NYD bowl it is kind of depressing and hurts the amount of views our school will get. I apologize but I always must look at the negative side instead of the positive side like every one on here, every second of the day.

This point was brought up weeks ago... But honestly who cares. It's still a nationally televised game on New Year's Day, and at the Cotton Bowl!

A lot of people have ESPNU. The biggest advantage of any bowl game is people will watch because its a bowl game and its on. Especially on New Years day when you will have people switching back and forth between college football games.

1. This game was scheduled for ESPNU months before the teams were decided, so no, we did not "get screwed". Don't like it? We should've won the conference then and gone to the liberty bowl. Oh well.

2. This game is not about the TV audience. This is about us as a fan base. Other than being able to say we were on national TV, which we can, what good does Joe Schmo in Bangor, Maine watching the game help us at all? Like THOR said, the TV is really irrelevant. This is about is as fans, the team, and as many disinterested alumni (despite all the whining about the opponent) having a transformative NYD experience that convinces them to get back involved again.

2a. This is also about the students. Ever notice how many of our diehard fans are from the 2001-2004 years. Our current students need that kind of experience that we are about to have on NYD to get them hooked for life.

3. We need very badly to win or else the benefits quickly fade.

Must win the game or it's irrelevant.

I've said we should've won conference multiple times and also I am a student who has not missed a game these two years i've been here. I do not need the situation explained to me, I am well aware
