Middle Tennessee looks like they have salted this one away... Pulling away from Toledo, midway in the 4th, 28-17.

The Bahamas Bowl is an international destination...not sure what quarantine measures apply, but international travel is daunting right now.

Yeah, no travel restrictions whatsoever. Last time I checked with a buddy over in the AD, UT had sold a whopping 42 tickets out if their mandatory allotment. Considering they brought 212 athletes, band members, support staff, and athletics staff, along with all of that cargo...they probably lost a solid $500,000. Why do we have these frigging games?
Buddy of mine who had a few of his students down there through the band said they told him MAYBE 600 people total in the stands.

Wow, 42 tickets. UT Athletics will take a bath financially by participating in this bowl.
One element that's not been discussed much this year amidst a floodtide of good news is how well UC fans travel these days. Our showings at IU and ND were terrific for TV. More importantly, it warms the hearts of bowl officials when they know UC fans will turn out by the thousands, not hundreds. Ticket revenue and tourist dollars remain major points of consideration when making their final selections. Even in the Big XII it may mean UC getting into their mid-tier contracted bowls rather than being at the bottom of the pecking order in any given year.

Glad UAB beat over rated BYU.
I hate BYU has 24 to 26 year old Seniors because of Missions.
They were dirty when we played them. I guess we better get used to it.

Eastern Michigan down 33-10 to Liberty at the half. Ben Bryant 18/22 142 yards and a pick six.
MAC bowl season not going well, if this holds up it will be an 0-3 start.

RE: Bowl Season
That WKU - App St. game had some of the most pathetic defense I've seen since the last pro bow I watched.
No wonder that WKU guy set a NCAA record for TD passes playing defenses like that.

I may be way off here, but to me it seemed BYU fans had all the arrogance of ND but with a fraction of the success. I was very happy to see them get what's coming to them with this bowl. They've been above joining a conference for years now and it really bit them this post season. Top it off with them crying about playing an unranked g5 and they deserve better then losing lol. You hate to see it

The MAC is simply playing a different game than everyone else in FBS IMO...would be better served for many reasons examining their options at the FCS level.

Pretty rough outing for our 2022 starting quarterback.

He will benefit from a better line and better receivers. I wonder where Bailey Zappe will go?
