for the SMU coaches you might want to use the infamous Ron Meyer clear the snow for a field goal attempt.

It’s a little confusing but there are 2 Frisco bowl games this year and the FCS championship game. In tropical smoothie it’s UTSA VS SDSU AND the Frisco Classic (new for 2021) is UNT vs Miami (oh).

Huge Dolphin fan as a kid - the Patriots org has been cheating for years.

This is a nice matchup with an ACC team with some national appeal. I like it.

The unt/Miami game is the extra bowl the NCAA created so all 6 win teams would get a bowl game. I thought better names would have been

NOT the Frisco Bowl

The Bowl With NO NAME

Traveling to and from Boston from DFW between Christmas and New Years will be a nightmare though.

I like this match up. Playing a P5 academic oriented institution is what we need to continue to pursue. The Vandy hoops game the other night is one such example. Bring on Wake, Northwestern, Cal, Stanford, UCLA, USC, Duke, NC, Geo Tech, ND, etc. #BEAT the Wahoos!

I got an official email yesterday and already reserved tickets and booked flights for a crew of 8 going up. It will be a good time in Boston and an opportunity to showcase how well SMU turns out to the ACC. I hope everyone that doesn't have plans already that can show up does so for this team and to show we belong in a Power 5 conference.

Around $800 RT from DFW to Boston, leaving the 28th and returning on the 30th. That also equates to 80K FF miles.

Not sure how much cheaper a discount airline would be.

May have to sit this one out and leave it to our NE Ponyfans to represent in person.

I'm priced out of this bowl game due to plane tickets. I wish we had been told we were playing in Boston a week earlier. It probably would have made a huge difference with plane tickets. If any uber-wealthy alum in the Houston area has an open seat on the private plane please let me know! :D
