I can easily see MT getting shipped off to Detroit after what has happened in the last few days.

I'm still holding out hope for ULM in the Independence Bowl. Makes WAY more sense than WKU (no offense). I think it will be either ULM or Tech, but much more likely ULM.

While I don't necessarily think the Conference has enough stroke to make that happen; I don't imagine they would be very upset if it did. No reason to fight for MT to get a plum bowl when they have just announced they are leaving the conference and we don't share bowl revenues. If we shared bowl revenues, that would be another story altogether.

Why do you think ULM is more likely than Tech? I hope that is true, though!

Because Tech has dictated terms to the Indy before, which they accepted and which led to the most disastrous TV ratings ever for a bowl game, along with thousands of empty seats in the stadium. The Indy may not be best of buds with Tech, in spite of what the Nechsters would have us believe.

ULM fans seem a lot more excited about the prospect of playing there than Tech fans.

It's simply a case of we've "been there, done that". We'd like to play in a bowl that we've never been in if it's possible. It's nothing against the I-Bowl.
