Another Hawaiian shirt for CM!!! #embracethehumpMiddle Tennessee, San Diego State to Play in 2022 Hawaii Bowl
Check out Brett McMurphy's report about Middle Tennessee and San Diego State playing in the 2022 Hawaii Bowl.
This sucks. Great for the players, crappy for the fans. Cheapest flight from Charlotte to Honolulu is $825. And like my wife would let me go on Christmas anyway. Sorry, but I'm not happy. So much for all the talk of 7-5 putting us in a better position. I was hoping for Myrtle or one of the Bama bowls. Absolutely would've gone to any of those.
It's obvious to me why we continue to be sent to the Bahamas and to Hawaii. It's because the bowl people know there is little enthusiasm for our program amongst the fanbase (me included) and that we won't travel in any great numbers to a bowl game. We don't draw squat even at home. If the bowl game is in the Bahamas or Hawaii there is a built in excuse for us not traveling.
7 wood has made it clear that the fans and alumni are irrelevant.
Hell I wouldn't spend any money to travel on this program as long as CRS is coach. If it was somehow in Music City, I'd find something better to do with my money than spend it on a ticket to the bowl.
Ugh effing MacFee. And they want us to buy into the build better blue bullshit.
The bowl no one wants goes with the team no one wants. Perfect fit.
Reported that we will be playing San Diego State. We may get curb-stomped in that one.
I don't care if the bowl game was at Floyd, I'm not going.
In the past I have spent a lot of money to attend away games and bowls. Not this year. I'm not spending another dime on this failed program until the entire bunch are gone. With Stocks extension it appears to be 2029 before I donate again.
It seems even some associated with the school aren't super happy. Lee is on Twitter trying to calm some fans explaining that the school can give a list of preferred destinations, but that it is up to E$PN and CUSA to who goes where.
That may be 100% true and honestly probably is.
But...
I'd lay money that on the list of preferred locations it looked like this
* Camellia Bowl (ok bowl, good for fans but too close to home. Fans are frustrated. Lots of work to get them to come amd will look bad to ESPN if they don't. Coach Stock already donated money in the past year and probably won't again)
* Boca Raton Bowl (we already control Miami. Don't need to again)
* Hawaii Bowl (President really really wants to go here. He and the AD have shirts already! It's warm, we need a vacation!)
* Myrtle Beach Bowl (do we really want to play on teal green turf?)
And then the decision was made.

Blue Raiders headed to the Hawai'i Bowl - Middle Tennessee State University Athletics
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - The Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders are headed to the postseason once again, and for the fourth time in their last six bowl trips it will have

This seems suspect to me. If true the conference hates us. Since joining this league, this will be our fourth OCONUS bowl. No one else in the league has more than one. Except UAB who will be making their second trip to Bahamas.
A departing school should be going to Hawaii
I'm not convinced the Admin doesn't advocate for these bowls year in and year out.
This is the thanks MT gets for single-handedly saving CUSA from the junk heap of former D1 conferences.
MTSU football to play San Diego State in Hawaii Bowl on Dec. 24
Middle Tennessee State's football team will play San Diego State in the Hawaii Bowl, Athletic Director Chris Massaro confirmed Monday.

I'm pretty sure the facebook page is removing any negative posts from their announcement. I saw some removed that were critical.
I don't care where they go. I wouldn't have attended anyway but hopefully they win the bowl and build.....a saying that doesn't carry much weight at all.

SD state is also 7-5. I watched them play saturday night. They couldn't put up more than 3 on Air Force. They run the ball and their offense isnt great.
The parasitic administration should stay in Tennessee.
Coach .500 does not deserve to go to a bowl; in fact, he does not even deserve to be a head coach.
I don't buy that shit that CUSA is the main influence in putting MTSU in Hawaii. My suspicion is 7wood had them put us there, and now the mouthpieces are just pointing their finger at CUSA.
