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.

UL still waiting for bowl game

As of 6 Sunday night UL's football was one of four teams being considered for an at-large slot in the Motor City Bowl on Dec. 26 in Detroit, according to that bowl's executive director Ken Hoffman.


Hoffman told The Daily Advertiser that UL, Arkansas State, Florida Atlantic and San Jose State are being considered to play Central Michigan in the bowl.

"We have four schools to select from, unless one accepts another bowl opportunity," Hoffman said. "We are very close to making a decision, but can't do anything until Western Michigan's bowl decision is made official."

Hoffman hoped to have the Motor City Bowl's at-large spot filled by 6:30 p.m. (CT) to beat the 7 selection show on ESPN. If the decision's not made by then, he figured it would be final by 7 or 8:30 tonight.

Why have a conference "tie in" with a bowl if they won't use it? The UL system should have jumped in and told those dumb_____es what to do...instead they pick Northern Illinois? Man those redneck techsters sure are scared of the little old SBC!!!! Wussies!!!!!
