First to address the media was Coach Fritz. He seemed confident that this was a great bowl selection for the Eagles.
“I’ve talked to a few people who have played in the bowl,” Fritz said. “They say it’s a great bowl. We’re just fortunate to be the first team in Georgia Southern history to play in a bowl game. We’re looking forward to having a bunch of our fans there and getting involved in the bowl situation.”
Georgia Southern Athletic Director Tom Kleinlein was happy with the bowl and proud of the team for the achievement.
“We had a conversation about mid-morning,” Kleinlein said.
