Look, if the Administration had even a wiff of OUr being in a bowl, I think we would have heard "rumors" already and no, I am not talking about a student who moonlights at WATH.  Since we are not getting anything out of the Convo or elsewhere, I assume we are probably not getting any invites or even looks.  Oh well, we brought this down upon ourselves.

We should be safe now that Uconn lost. Its either Military or BBVA depending on the outcome of Pitt vs USF.

I was just on the Military Bowl website and it had a press release issued yesterday stating in essence that the Military Bowl was going with a MAC team to oppose SJSU, and that they would decide who that would be after last night's MACC game between Kent and Northern.  Therefore, I wonder if they have already issued an invite but to someone other than us?

The holdup is probably the BCS rankings and the outside chance that NIU jumps enough.

I expect pieces to fall into position around 5 pm tomorrow.

And I'm also confident that we will go someplace. We've proven willing to pay to play in the postseason before. No reason to think that will change.

In the past, the MAC has wanted all schools to wait until a designated time on Sunday night to officially announce. Judging from a few player tweets, looks like they're hearing Military Bowl.

According to the Ravenna Record-Courier, Kent State will learn of their postseason fate tonight when all 35 Bowl pairings are announced on the BCS Selection Show at 8:30. Although my hunch is they'll know by then. But it doesn't sound like Ohio would announce anything official prior to that show.

I'm sure they all can read the tea leaves as the various polls and computer rankings come out today, but I don't expect NIU to make any announcement until the top 16 are announced on ESPN tonight.  What happens to them will affect who the MAC sends to Godaddy and Tater.  I presume Toledo will go to Pizza because they can take a big crowd there.  Ohio could announce early because what we do doesn't really affect anyone else.  BGSUcks and BSU seem to be set on where they're going (Beef O'B and Independence, respectively).  But it could be the MAC has asked teams not to announce until NIU's fate is determined for certain.

Is it really wise to post that OHIO is not going to a bowl?
