That appears to be a good match up. Teams apparently very similar.

Cool - hope we can get a big win for the conference. And finally win a bowl game for the first time in a while.

I'm looking forward to it. I also think this is a good match up.

that should be a really good match up

Hello MTSU fans. Glad to be playing you guys in the bowl, I think both teams are generally evenly matched. Moreover, both ended the season feeling pretty good about themselves... MT on a solid 4-game win streak, WMU upsetting a 9-win Toledo (first win over UT since 2008).

You're welcome to visit our board as well, though you may have to wade through some perpetual in-fighting sludge that busts many a thread.

Go Middle. Beat Western.

I may need therapy.

Wow! I never thought I'd live to see the day! Thank goodness there's no other "Middle" team - so I will say Go Western, but not Beat Middle

The Bahamas is turning into a bowl with some potential. I know the attendance will probably be crap but if you like football this should be an evenly matched one.

Last year it was one of my favorite bowls. Good luck and Go MT!

Our most hated rival is a "Central," so Beat Middle is close enough for me.

Evidently WMU really wants to keep their coach....

Quote:Industry sources tell FootballScoop that Western Michigan is working on a new contract for PJ Fleck that was described to FootballScoop as “unlike anything the MAC has ever seen”.

Specific details were not immediately available; but when consummated the package is expected to rival a lot of Power 5 head coaching compensation packages.

Since being named head coach in December 2012, Fleck has consistently delivered the top recruiting classes in the MAC and the results are showing up on the field…and in the stands. A bowl win this year would give WMU back to back 8 win seasons with six conference wins in both years.

Fleck was expected to be a highly sought after candidate during this year’s set of searches; but sources we have spoken with now expect Fleck to decline those opportunities.

Hey, don't worry about it. I'm going up to Bowling Green for the championship game this weekend to watch you guys win the CUSA championship. A buddy of mine is an alum and big fan so I'm supporting him and the conference.

The Bronco's are playing some good ball, and did knock of Toledo. Will be a challenge for Middle Tennessee, but the game is winnable.

This is a good match up. PJ Fleck is insane! I will enjoy watching this game.

We're on a roll now. Hope we can keep up the good play.

Should be a good one! Great match-up!

Go MT!!! Beat the Broncs!!!!

and according to the interwebs, WMU was known as the Hilltoppers until 1939!
