Virginia To Independence Bowl?

update: Nevermind. Check this post instead.

As I wrote about yesterday, Virginia's decision not to play in the Champs Sports Bowl, or any other bowl during exams, made a mess of the ACC bowl selections. The Champs Bowl didn't want Georgia Tech (the only other ACC school they had to pick from and the MPC Bowl in Boise didn't want UVA (and vice-versa, I'm sure).

It was going to take some other bowls without ACC ties to get into the picture. That appears to have happened. The Independence Bowl seems set to match up UVA with Oklahoma State. That's actually a pretty good game. The game is on December 28, and it's in Shreveport, LA, so it's not terribly attractive to traveling fans, but it should be fun to watch.
