Badgers are winning 14-0. Is Hawaii the last team to have the old school artificial turf?

_ Bowling Green is one of the MAC schools that might not travel far for a bowl because the school would lose money after all the expenses due to the smaller payouts for the lesser bowls.

We can scratch Bowling Green off the staying at home list. Just heard an online interview w/ the BG head football coach. From what he was saying they are most definitely going to a bowl game wherever/whenever.

Well, just don't be surprised if a MAC team decides to stay home. It might not matter what the head coach wants if the president and AD say it's not going to happen. Those are the people that will be making the final decisions.

Badgers and Longhorns win helped alot tonight. The fact of the matter is there will probably be 4 open bowl slots, Humanitarian is selling out to get UCLA, and the feeling is mutual, UCLA wants to lose as little money as possible. that leaves Bowling Green, MT, and NIU to fill the GMAC, Pizza Bowl, and Emerald bowl. 2 of those bowls already have MAC schools, leading me to believe the MAC at large goes to either Bowling Green or NIU in Emerald bowl and the MAC will push the other to stay home as to not look small time and have a conference game as a "bowl game".

Something did come into my head though...wouldn't it be poetic justice if we go bowling this year after the whole independence bowl fiasco last year and NIU (The team that took our spot because of a butt-hugger who works in their front office) stays home with a winning record.

That would be nice if NIU got left out, but I guess they wouldn't look at the whole 7 win rule.

NIU wouldn't get left out because they wanted to, more like they would have their arm twisted into staying home. I was gonna grab a link on the NIU NCAABBS board, but apparently something is wrong with there server. Look up their thread about the hum. bowl and read their comments, looks like there's something there if even their own fans are talking that way.
