This will be Vandy’s first bowl appearance in 26 years and when you look at their stats it really looks like they just played in a crappy conferance, because when compared to BC they look horrible. BC is no gem itself, but at least they have developed some sort of a passing game between QB Chris Crane and WR Brandon Robinson, but its nothing to get excited about. More...

Music City Bowl History
The first Music City Bowl game was played in Vanderbilt Stadium its first year, then moved into the newly-opened Adelphia Coliseum, which is the home of the NFL's Tennessee Titans. It matches a team from the Southeastern Conference against an at-large team.
In early 1997, the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce and the Nashville Sports Council began discussions with the Southeastern Conference (SEC) about hosting a post-season college Bowl game. There were several reasons that factored into the discussions: Nashville is known as a destination city, its easily accessible to a majority of universities in a number of conferences, and a brand new stadium was being built for a new NFL franchise, the Tennessee Titans. Furthermore, Nashville is one of the best cities in the country for hospitality and entertainment. Known as Music City, Nashville has several opportunities to offer the college football fan, university administrator, corporate sponsor, and local resident. After taking these points into consideration, the Chamber of Commerce, the Nashville Convention and Visitors Bureau, and the Nashville Sports Council decided to take on the challenge and the Music City Bowl was born.
Later in 1997, the Bowl aligned itself with several partners to ensure its success. The Bowl signed a four-year agreement starting in 1998 with ESPN to broadcast the game nationally. In 1998, a four-year agreement was signed with the SEC. In 1999, the Big East Conference agreed to a three-year deal to send a team to the Music City to take on the SEC.
In 2000 the Bowl took a new direction signing a four-year deal with the BIG TEN Conference to replace the Big East starting with the 2002 game. The SEC further extended their existing contract through the 2005 game.
Recently the Bowl has had some major accomplishments adding to its success and has solidified its position as one of Nashville’s most important events. Gaylord Hotels (a division of Gaylord Entertainment Company and one of Music City’s largest companies) agreed to serve as title sponsor of the Bowl for multiple years. Furthermore, Bridgestone, a locally headquartered international company officially became the Presenting Sponsor of the Bowl in 2003. In addition, the Bowl and ESPN inked an agreement for ESPN to broadcast the Bowl through 2008.
These new alliances and partnerships should bring more stability to one of the fastest growing Bowl games in America.
The Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl Presented By Bridgestone is a now a part of the fabric of the Nashville community and has helped galvanize a city. Key initiatives such as economic development, downtown impact, quality of life enhancement, and a commitment to higher education are all part of the Bowl experience. The Bowl in just a few short years has turned one of Nashville’s slowest tourism weeks into one of the busiest as well as supported various charitable organizations through ticket donation, special community programs, and much more. Since the Bowl’s inception, 29 million viewers have watched the event on ESPN; the Bowl has contributed over $10 million in financial payouts to participating universities; and has generated $69 million in economic impact for the Nashville community.
