Actually, some good stuff there.

Boise appears to think they'll be able to bring in Fresno State.

That's revealing. It suggests no MAC team may end up in Boise and that our league's opponent for that bowl is unclear.

I sure as heck hope we go to a bowl. But I'd rather play in any off them besides the one in Boise. Playing in Idaho in December? But beggars can't be choosers....I'll take Boise over nothing.

No offense to the team, but I'd take Boise over Hawaii. At least I could go.

We could also get some practice on that blue turf for our date with Boise next year! ;)

Surprisingly, it looks like the GMAC Bowl is going to be between NIU and BG with an announcement expected today. That should clear things up a bit and possibly get the ball rolling. I'd like to see the Falcons in the GMAC but have a feeling NIU will be headed there.

I'm hoping for the Silicon Valley.

If it is the GMAC, Memphis just accepted a bid today as the C-USA representative. This could be BG's big chance to prove Marshall and everyone else wrong that the MAC is just as good a league as C-USA or Urbie and his buddies out west.

Does the GMAC wait until after the MAC champ game to announce their second team? I thought I heard they were going to annouce the MAC team today.

Which bowl (Motor City, SVC or the GMAC) will announce their selections first?

Read in multiple places that the GMAC Bowl will either make an announcement tomorrow (Tuesday) or Thursday.

Traditionally, the GMAC hasn't waited for the MAC championship, and announced first.

THey must not be midweek people. .. I just wish they would hurry up so we can all start making solid plans. .. .
