Well actually the MAC's best played in the Orange bowl, but Kent State was #25.

SBC is better than CUSA!

If I had a say in things Ark. State is the school that should have been admitted to CUSA. Their supporters have always traveled well.

Nice win for the Ark St folks. Looked pretty good against a pretty decent Kent St. team. I guess that made the SBC 2-2 in bowl games, right?

But the MAC's best needed two OT's to beat the MAC's second best

Thanks gang, I'm hearing there are schools that go to a bowl with the same coach from the regular season, hoping to give that a try.

Mobile does a great job putting on the game. The stadium is old a right at dump status but everything about the event is first class. The players are treated very well and the coaches wives have some great events.

The community really goes all out with the Mardi Gras parade (first Mardi Gras in the US was held there, and they'll happily tell you that). Two different bars set up computers and projectors to get ESPN3 when they found out the ASU-WKU game was on ESPN3 in order to show the game.

Used to be a CUSA bowl but they dumped CUSA for ACC vs. MAC (the MAC was at the insistence of then sponsor GMAC). Like to see it be CUSA vs. Sun Belt in the future, the MAC teams just don't make the trip.
