I don't see a time on ESPN or the HOD site. Are we assuming it's in the morning again? The Beefy Bowl is the same day...

That is a terrible day for the HOD. Many fans and students wouldn't even be able to get back from Christmas in time to go to the game. I guess ESPN and the HOD didn't like seeing 35,000 Mean Green fans at the HOD. What the hell are the HOD and C-USA thinking?

Don't think it will matter that much. College aged kids got up after a night of drinking on New Year's Eve and had no problem going to the HOD bowl that started at 11:00AM.

If anything, this may add more fans.

Not out of town ones. I'll never make that date.

Dude, with your method of travel last year, I'm surprised you made that one. Alive, anyway :-)

Good point. I was speaking only about students with family within a 4 or 5 hours drive, which I think is the vast majority of UNT students. But you are right, older alums with families that live out of state ain't gonna do this.

Sad.

On the other hand, those of us who are out of state but have people to visit in Texas may be more likely to make that date if we visit for Christmas. We may or may not be there, but that overall demographic may be what they're trying to add. If you have a few thousand more visiting for Christmas, snag them for a bowl game before they head back home for work...especially since Christmas is on Thursday this year, so most people won't be back to work until Monday.

I think the day is much more friendly for the casual fan than New Years. Few people travel to Dallas for New Years - many will be around for a Mean Green bowl game. I think we end up in New Mexico anyway next year.

No matter what date is chosen, there will always be a lot of conflicts over the holidays. I suspect it will all even out, much like the difference between afternoon and evening start times during the regular season.

My wife's family is taking a cruise through the Panama Canal from the 23rd through the 2nd so I can't make it this year no matter what bowl we are in.

I would rather go to HOD Bowl again or even New Mexico bowl than the bowl game in Hawaii where a lot of fans can't get off their jobs and go. Somebof us in retail can't get off to go to Hawaii.

It's not the time off that's a concern for this guy that works for a retail company, it's the cost of the plane ticket. You'll drop something close to $1500 for one person to fly to HI for Christmas if you booked on AA today without using any miles. Who knows what tickets might cost in December when the bowl invites are sent out.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      The prestige of the PAC is dead, and @NorthTexasWeLove is right: we are entering an era (if we aren't there already lol) where geography is a much bigger priority for non-Power leagues. I hope we do away with this notion that we should share a G conference with California or Washington schools. It's already a whip that we are in one with schools that sit just off the eastern coast. I don't get the idea of if-Tigers-go-we-need-to-follow. I think it makes more sense to be attached to Texas State than Memphis.

      First of all, I know you're a troll and have been for many years. Over the past 10 years, you probably don't have 5 positive posts on this board. However, to answer your question (1) discount and multi game ticket packages offered, (2) shirt give aways, (3) various forms of half-time performances, (4) Denton student day. You wanted 1 there's 4! If you would like to provide the AD with an unlimited marketing budget to do what you would like then go ahead! As for the announcers, NT doesn't control who ESPN sends. If they mistake on air that's on them. Do you really believe our SID gave them incorrect information? I listened to Hank's interview with the announcer in the pre-game show. He was very knowledgeable and complimentary of NT. If he made a mistake, it was just that...a mistake. It wasn't because he didn't know anything about NT or we intentionally gave him incorrect information.

      Power Conferences making their move to take full control

      Here in Florida the SEC homers are using SMU's presence in the playoff to "prove" that the ACC is not a legitimate Power conference. Heard it on Jacksonville sports radio this morning from a host who went to UF. The game's rigged for the big dogs and they keep making their club more exclusive all the time. Everybody else in the FBS is the Washington Generals. I wish the G5 schools would create their own organization to work together more strongly for a future that doesn't suck.

      Attendance question

      I was at the NDSU game Monday night and have been at several of their championship games in Frisco. Every time, I think "I wish I could bring our fans here to see how football works." Both teams fans yell when their team is on defense...on 1st down!

      I assume it's the "efficiency" factor in the NET equation that benefited from last night. That or the results of other games impacted this. Not totally sure, but it's a good question.
