Military Bowl 2011: Toledo, Air Force To Wage Aerial Combat

The Toledo Rockets! The Air Force Falcons! The Mlitary Bowl! If this doesn't sound like the most exciting thing in the world based on names alone, I don't know what could. Toledo's offense has been exciting this year, and we'll get to see a MAC defense try to stand in the way of an option run attack, so things are looking up around here.

However: Do not call it The Military Bowl. You will refer to it by it’s full name, The Military Bowl presented by Northrop Grumman. You will show the Military Bowl the respect it deserves.

Of course, you might remember it as the EagleBank Bowl as well. Regardless, it will be played Wednesday, December 28 at 4:30 p.m. and likely feature an ACC school versus a Conference USA school. The game will be televised on ESPN.

There have been three previous games played, each featuring different teams. Last year, Maryland defeated East Carolina 51-20.

Game date, time: 4:30 pm ET, Wednesday, December 28

Location: RFK Stadium, Washington, D.C.

TV channel: ESPN

2010 winner and loser: Maryland 51 - East Carolina 20
