The Mighty Hand of ESPN - arkstfan - 12-03-2017 04:56 PM The World-Wide Leader did some last minute wheeling and dealing on the bowls Akron takes an AAC spot in Boca and CUSA takes a MAC spot in Montgomery. Interesting that UNT would have seemed a lock for a Texas-based bowl but gets shipped to NOLA. RE: The Mighty Hand of ESPN - BRtransplant - 12-03-2017 05:51 PM UNT said all along that they wanted a destination bowl. They last bowled in the Heart of Dallas Bowl, which is almost a home game for them. It's hard to beat New Orleans as a host city for a bowl game. In the last three years, Tech has bowled in Dallas, New Orleans, and Fort Worth. Of those three bowls, I enjoyed the New Orleans atmosphere the most by far. If UNT can regroup after laying the egg they did in the CUSA Championship Game, I expect a good game. If they play like they did against FAU, Troy will kill them. I'd like to see the two conference champs square off in a bowl game some day.

I remember the 2009 GMAC Bowl when Sun Belt champ 9-3 Troy played MAC champ #25 Central Michigan who was 11-2... went into double-OT with CMU winning. Wound up being rated one of the Top 5 bowls of the season and received a lot of press leading up to the game. The Mighty Hand of ESPN - Jjoey52 - 12-03-2017 09:53 PM ESPN has way too much clout in college football, hopefully some day they lose this power and sanity will return.
