Summary
The GameAbove Sports Bowl, formerly the Motor City Bowl, is no more.
On3’s Brett McMurphy reported earlier this week the Detroit-based bowl was shutting its doors, ending a 29-year run. It debuted as the Motor City Bowl, rebranded as the Little Caesars Bowl in 2009, shifted to the Quick Lane Bowl in 2014 and finally the GameAbove Sports Bowl in 2024.
The bowl’s inaugural matchup — on the day after Christmas — was Ole Miss against Randy-Moss-led Marshall, the Mid-American Conference champion.
The Rebels won, 34-31, including a game-sealing strip of Moss by linebacker Broc Kreitz.
