Thread: Expect Independence Bowl or Motor City Bowl for WMU

  1. UL Football Expect Independence Bowl or Motor City Bowl for WMU


      Sometime today, Western Michigan will announce it's playing in the Independence Bowl on Dec. 28, in Shreveport, La., or that it's headed to the Motor City Bowl, Dec. 26 in Detroit.

    Technically, there are still other possibilities, but it'll be one of these two, likely to be determined no later than early this evening.

    Bottom line, if Ball State heads to the GMAC Bowl to face Tulsa, WMU or Central Michigan is going to the Motor City Bowl. The other is an at-large team, likely headed for the Independence Bowl.

    If this is true we need ND to go to Hawaii then to free up the Texas Bowl.

    I would too, but that call is going to have to be made by my boss seeing as I only have 1 day of vacation left. Hawaii would require more days off than that!

    Notre Dame is stating on all their boards that it is about 80% right now that they are headed to Hawaii.

    I think it's a typo due to this little part in the article

    Had 12-1 Ball State beaten Buffalo and remained undefeated, it would almost certainly have gone to the Motor City Bowl. Now, the Cardinals will likely head to the GMAC Bowl and a potential matchup against 10-3 Tulsa. The Detroit game will take either Central or Western Michigan; the other will end up in either the Independence, Texas or Hawaii bowls.

    But was the bolding there yesterday? It is possible they are updating the Bowls table section of the article.
