Detroit bowl game is canceled

Bummer for the Bobcat fans who were hoping Ohio would make another appearance at a venue that's easily driveable for most people living in Ohio. Closest venue geographically would now be Nashville?

Another wake-up call for MAC leadership, although we all have to wonder if they ever will wake up.

I ask this seriously... what do you think they should do differently?

Our bowls are in hard to reach locations to fill TV slots because there aren't enough fans to fill the stands and buy hotel rooms. I don't think that's the MAC office's fault.

Ending the Detroit Bowl isn't the MAC office's fault.

It's just another wake-up call for MAC leadership as if to say, "You think you can just keep doing what you've been doing and get by?"

It's not hard to picture an FBS that doesn't have a MAC existing when we get to 2030, if nothing is done differently. Let's put it that way.

How about the Spangler Candy Company Suckers Bowl in Oxford?

I prefer the ROCKY BOOTS BOWL in Athens.
