SMU going Bowling......Again!

     Last year at this time SMU's football team
was invited to a post-season bowl game for the
first time in twenty-five years. The Mustangs had
to travel all the way to Hawaii to play in that game.
This year the Ponies are back in a bowl game and it
will be a lot closer to home. Actually, it could not be
any closer. SMU will host Army in the 'Bell Helicopter
Armed Forces Bowl' on December 30th. The bowl game
would have been played in Fort Worth, but Amon Carter
Stadium is being refurbished and construction prohibits 
the game from being played there. SMU qualified for the
game with a 7-5 season, but they were 6-2 in Conferense USA. The University of Central Florida defeated SMU in
the conference championship game 17-7 yesterday. The

United States Military Academy (Army) still has a date against Navy next Saturday in Philadelphia. Navy defeated SMU 28-21 earlier this season. The December 30th bowl game between SMU and Army will be played at Gerald J. Ford Stadium on the SMU campus and will be televised by ESPN.
