This year's game really snuck up on me. I hadn't thought much about UNT until yesterday, This is a big game for UTSA and I like that UNT looks to be playing better. I expect a very competitive game. Would be nice to avenge the beat down you gave us last year, and really the last 3 years. I do feel like this is a true rivalry game. The highs and lows for both teams have been intense and I don't think either fanbase thinks much of each other.

For only being 8 years old, there have certainly been fireworks in this series. Last season's edition was underwhelming. But this season's game has meaning for both programs.

In my opinion we have the best conflict in C-USA. The Hundred Miles of Hate and Shula Bowl just don't seem to have the same level of animosity or interest. In my opinion, our programs should officially name the series the "Hate Bowl" and sign a title sponsor and network for a 5 year contract. These games should be on TV.

I fully expect to see some very hard hits and maybe a scuffle or two Saturday. I'm not sure the other fans around C-USA understand just how much dislike there is on both sidelines.
