After some apparent back and forth regarding the opponent, it is officially official: Boise State vs North Texas in the Frisco Bowl.
North Texas was the CUSA runner up so it seems like it’s a bowl game of ‘almost got theres’.
The Broncos haven’t had a bowl win since 2017 Las Vegas Bowl against Oregon. And they haven’t had a complete bowl game since the loss against UW in the 2019 iteration.
This is going to be a good game for the Broncos. A winnable matchup in Texas. This should give a lot of our Texas players’ families a chance to watch the game and also recruiting.
The season didn’t end how we wanted, but this gives the Broncos an opportunity to finish strong and get ready for next year.
Will this game be televised as opposed to the yesterdays possibility of us playing in the Arizona Bowl?
This is actually a much more respectable bowl game than we expected! Granted NTSU is a 7-6 team and runner up for Conf USA. However, it’s in Texas and a big money football market as well. This is essentially a home game for the mean green since Denton, Tx is only a short drive to Frisco.
Yes, BSU needs a decisive win here! The worst thing the Broncos can do is underestimate NTSU. I’d bet money The Mean Green is gearing up for their shot at BSU. OR as that just me and my wishful thinking? What say you Broncos!?
Yes it will be on ESPN at ,915pm.est
Fun for me, as my UNT is my nephew’s alma mater. I want bragging rights.
Do the players sort of get a say on which bowl they want to go to. The broncos fb page seemed as a majority think they should be paired with a “better” opponent.
We have done a really good job a recruiting Texas. Hopefully this will keep that pipeline going. I was sort of hoping for a better opponent but honestly I am just hoping for a full complete bowl game at this point. Of course I want a W from the game, but even better would be for the game to actually happen and for all four quarters to be played. A game against runner ups isn’t too bad.
Funniest thing ever is the unt coffee mug
The players have no say in the bowl game they are to play. As far as hoping for a better opponent is concerned bsu lost to utep decisively. Utep finished 5-7. And BSU should have blown Fresno off the field. Still think bsu deserves a ” better opponent” ?I can guarantee you NTSU wsnts to win as much as bsu does..And despite what the critics say a win over bsu would be a signature win for them. But if the broncos offense shows up and Greene doesn’t get rattled again ntsu will see why bsu has a 12-7 bowl record… Read more »
One thing the Broncos. need to be acutely aware of. The record all time vs ntsu is 3-3. The last meeting was in 2000 in which bsu destroyed them 59-0. Ntsu will want to avenge that kiss and one up the record vs bsu.
Agree with the sentiments that this is a good matchup for us. I think if we played a better opponent there would be a high likelihood that we get our doors blown off. This team has a long ways to go yet. A bowl win would be a great to boost this program moving into next year.
Watched their championship game. They are a well coached team. I think this will be a good matchup. Looking forward to it.
North Texas just fired their head coach!!
