It looks like the Terps lost out on the “good” bowls this year. Without specific knowledge of the “whys and hows” of this decision, I will guess that it had to do with poor attendance at Byrd and making sure the Terps come out of this bowl season with a $ profit.
I had the good fortune to attend the (then named) Eagle Bank Bowl last season. For more on that experience click here. I, for one, am happy to go to any Bowl game after the terrible season last year. I think the Terps deserve better and hope that by 5:30p today a deal is struck to go to a higher profile bowl.
It is a shame to finish so well and get the 8th place bowl. Here is to an ACC Championship next year.
I second that!
