Motor city bowl still considering UL, FAU, and ASU.

Word is its going to be FAU. Which I don't understand. They will bring 10 fans to detroit, We probably would have brought a few thousand. _

I know they beat us this year, but with a worse conference record than us how do they get rewarded with the bowl game while we're left out in the cold?

It's all about automatic bowl tie-ins.

The Sun Belt has one - the New Orleans Bowl.

The Mountain West has four - Las Vegas, Poinsettia, Armed Forces and New Mexico.

The Mid-American has three - Motor City, GMAC and International.

Western Athletic Conference has three - Hawaii, Humanitarian and New Mexico.

Conference USA has six (six!) - Liberty, GMAC, Armed Forces, New Orleans, Texas and St. Petersburg.

ACC and SEC have nine apiece. Big Ten has seven. Big 12 has eight. The Big East has six.

Over on the MAC board, they are saying that they want to "take over" the New Orleans Bowl, to add another tie-in (yeah right). Five MAC teams bowling this year.

Each and every SBC team needs to schedule a lousy 1-aa school in the coming years, like the MAC does, to get more bowl eligible teams.

Prairie View, Savannah State, UT-Martin, etc.

Wouldn't it be something, though, if SBC lost the N'Awlins Bowl ?

Glad we also dropped games against So Miss and UTEP we coulda/shoulda..

Coulda beat USM??? Do you need a reminder on the final score?

I don't think thats what he was saying. However, since you brought it up, if the 2 teams played again 3 weeks later I would go out on a limb to say that the score would have been MUCH different. However they didn't play 3 weeks later... so theres your woulda/coulda/shoulda
