Humanitarian Bowl now official MAC tie-in

With the demise of the International Bowl, the MAC was looking for a new bowl tie-in, and today announced that it had signed with the Humanitarian Bowl in Boise, ID.  The tie-in is with the WAC.

BG played in the game this past season, losing a thriller that had the highest ratings for the bowl ever.  This is a good tie in for the conference.  Yes, I know it is not a BCS conference, but it is a good conference for us to play.  No, it is not in a warm weather location.  However, it is in the right week, between Christmas and New Year's, when I think people are looking for football to watch.  Boise is also supposed to be a great place to visit.

So, I'm for it.
