MTSU accepts Motor City Bowl bid

MTSU has accepted an invitation to the Motor City Bowl, the Blue Raiders’ first Division I-A bowl bid.

MTSU (7-5) will play Mid-American Conference champion Central Michigan (9-4) Dec. 26 at Detroit’s Ford Field on ESPN.

The Blue Raiders finished in a tie for the Sun Belt championship.

Troy owns the head-to-head tiebreaker over the Blue Raiders and will play in the New Orleans Bowl on Dec. 22. Troy defeated Florida International Saturday night in its season finale.

It marks only the second time two Sun Belt teams have gotten a bowl bid in the same season. North Texas and Troy played in the New Orleans Bowl and Silicon Valley Classic in 2004, respectively.

Sun Belt member Louisiana-Lafayette lost 39-20 to Louisiana-Monroe Saturday night, putting the Ragin’ Cajuns out of legitimate bowl contention.

Good for the SBC & MTSU , will this effect our recruiting in anyways however ? New coach Stockdale started dipping into Texas more last year than in previos seasons from MTSU's ex coaches

I doubt the MCB is a money making venture.

BTW, CMU just lost their coach to Cincinnati.
