MSU Is Headed To The Alamo Bowl
Monday, December 28, 2009Share
For the third straight year, the Michigan State Spartans are heading to a Bowl Game! On January 2, 2010 at 8pm CST MSU will face the Big 12's Texas Tech in the 2010 Valero Bowl at San Antonio's 65,000 seat Alamodome.
The 2010 game will be the 17th Valero Alamo Bowl and the first meeting between Michigan State and Texas Tech on the football field. Since 1995, the Alamo Bowl has matched the Big Ten and the Big 12 Conferences and has produced eight of the Top 25 most-watched games in ESPN bowl game history.
The 6-6, 4-4 in the Big Ten, MSU Spartans are making their their second Alamo Bowl appearance as they take on the 8-4, 5-3 in the Big 12, Texas Tech Red Raiders, who are making their third Alamo Bowl appearance.
Both teams hold a losing record in the Alamo Bowl, MSU losing their first Alamo Bowl Game in 2003 vs. Nebraska. The Texas Tech Red Raiders hold a 0-2 Record in the Alamo Bowl.
MSU will play short handed, due to the off-the field turmoil that has been occurring since eight MSU players were suspended and two were dismissed from the team because of a November 22, 2009 fight between Fraternity Members at a campus residence hall.
Head coach Mark Dantonio confirmed that those players would not be making the trip to Texas, but he is glad that the other MSU players have a new focus on winning the game.
