Thanks to Bowling Green's victory over Buffalo on Saturday, Coach Shane Montgomery's Miami RedHawks football team has clinched the Mid-American Conference's East Division title and a spot in the 2007 MAC championship game.
Regardless of the outcome of Miami's regular-season finale at rival Ohio University on Saturday (Nov. 24), the RedHawks (4-1 in East Division play) will do no worse than tie for the East Division crown. Due to their potential tie-breaker victories over Bowling Green and Buffalo, Miami is guaranteed to represent the East against West Division winner Central Michigan.
It's Miami's fourth MAC East title in the last five years and its third trip in the last five seasons to the Motor City for the championship game. An opportunity for a Bowl-game bid could hang in the balance.
Tickets are now available for the MAC title game on Saturday, December 1, at 11 a.m. between Miami and CMU.
For ticket information, call 1-866-MU-Hawks (1-866-684-2957) or (513) 529-HAWK (529-4295). Tickets are $20 each. Fans can also purchase tickets in person at Miami University's Millett Hall ticket office, Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. EST.
RedHawk fans will want to be on hand to watch Joey Hudson and Miami's top-rated defense face off against Central Michigan's potent offense, led by quarterback Dan LeFevour.
Miami's enthusiastic fans helped the RedHawks win four straight games at Yager Stadium, catapulting Miami to the East Division title and into the MAC championship game.
"Our team definitely feeds off the energy of our fans," said Coach Montgomery, "and we'll need them to turn out in full force for us in Detroit. "
