buckeyemike Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Yeah, that's what I thought as well. I think they would have to get an invite for the Hawaii Bowl or something. I guess it's just more likely they will be in on of the other 3 bowls... That's the case. The MAC has tie-ins to 3 bowls (Motor City, International, and GMAC). But ESPN is listing that the Pac-10 may not have enough eligible teams for all their bowl positions, which include the Hawaii Bowl. Thus, their potential interest in UB. I still think that would be terrific...UB vs. Hawaii in paradise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromoTheRobot Posted November 22, 2008 Author Share Posted November 22, 2008 How cool would this be? UB already hosts Pitt on Sept.7 2009. What if the Bills opened at home on the 8th and both games would be played at RWS? Tailgate double-header!!! PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicholasCal1 Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 According to the MAC website: The Bulls are also guaranteed a berth in one of the three bowl games that have MAC tie ins - the Motor City Bowl, the GMAC Bowl and the International Bowl. It will be the Bulls first bowl as an FBS (I-A) member since joining the MAC in 1999. Looks like the Hawii bowl is not an optionl... UB MAC East Championship shirts on sale here...

PromoTheRobot Posted November 23, 2008 Author Share Posted November 23, 2008 on espns website for college football schlareth projected them playing in hawai That's because Schlereth knows not of what he speaks. Being MAC East champs automatically puts UB into the GMAC, Motor City, or International Bowl. Keep in mind UB can still win the MAC Championship outright. As for the Hawaii Bowl, it's the one bowl no school wants because the payout is so small and the cost of getting your team there is so large, you actually lose money! If it's Detroit or Toronto, I'm there. Mobile, AL is where the GMAC is played and Getting there is a little tougher. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
