One last bowl shot
Athletics director Rudy Davalos said New Mexico still has one last shot at a bowl game.
The Lobos were shut out of the Fort Worth Bowl Saturday when Kansas beat Iowa State 24-21 in overtime.
Now New Mexico is hoping for a spot in the Motor City Bowl, which will be played in Detroit on Dec. 26 at 2 p.m. MST. The game will be broadcast on ESPN.
The game pits the Big 10's eighth place team against the MAC's first or second place team.
New Mexico is counting on the Big 10 failing to field a bowl-eligible team.
The Lobos need Ohio State to stay high in the BCS rankings and earn a spot in a BCS game. They also need No. 17 Louisville to win a Connecticut next week,
At that point, Davalos said the Lobos likely would be competing against bowl eligible WAC schools and should earn a spot because of their much stronger attendance.

Well, we still cling to hope. The ironic thing is, that if we do make it to this game, we will be going to a more prestigous bowl game than either the Emerald, Poinsettia, or Las Vegas Bowl. Maybe things have a way of working themselves out.
Okay now we are Ohio State and Louisville fans. Ohio State shouldn't be a problem, and Louisville is much better than Connecticut.

I've read a lot about Memphis out of C-USA going to this bowl. Do you know anything about this?
