Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 827281, member: 27"] This article posted last night in the Baltimore Sun talks about the Military Bowl and the ACC slot in it. It looks like Maryland was all set to go there until Syracuse beat BC Saturday. If you read between the lines, it sounds pretty good for the Orangemen. [I]Maryland's most likely options remain the [URL='http://www.baltimoresun.com/topic/sports/football/college-football/military-bowl-EVSPR000217.topic']Military Bowl[/URL] (Dec. 27 in Annapolis) and the AdvoCare V100 Bowl (Dec. 31 in Shreveport, La.). Representatives from both bowls have scouted the [URL='http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/terps/']Terps[/URL]. The Military Bowl is too close to campus to be considered an exotic experience for players, but it's favored by many alumni and fans because it would be convenient and inexpensive. Many bowl activities will be held in Washington, D.C. Maryland's Military Bowl prospects dimmed a bit when Syracuse defeated [URL='http://www.baltimoresun.com/topic/sports/boston-college-eagles-ORSPT000000261.topic']Boston College[/URL] on Saturday. The victory made the Orange bowl-eligible, adding another team to the mix and complicating the selection process. "We're in a great spot," Military Bowl president and executive director Steve Beck said in a text message Sunday. "Of course, we have interest in Maryland and think the [URL='http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/terps/']Terps[/URL] would enjoy our game. But we're also looking at our other ACC options and are looking forward to a terrific game. It is a good situation to be in."[/I] [URL='http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/terps/bs-sp-terps-folo-1202-20131201,0,962274.story']Link[/URL] I would think the ACC is pushing hard to get Syracuse in this slot. It should be noted that the B1G is taking the other slot in the game effective next year and they are surely doing what they can to get the Terps this bid. But they surely have more leverage with the bowl games they are already affiliated with where there are not enough bowl eligible B1G schools available to fill the slots. [/QUOTE]
