The Liberty Bowl Web site announced this afternoon that Mississippi State will play UCF in the Dec. 29 contest. It's the team's first bowl appearance since 2000 coming after a 7-5 season.
Tickets from the school's allotment for the Bulldogs' appearance in the 49th annual Liberty Bowl in Memphis, Tenn., go on sale Monday at 8:30 a.m. Tickets cost $50 apiece, with the State section on the east side of the stadium. Tickets are also available through Ticketmaster.
Tickets will be available to purchase through the MSU Athletic Ticket Office both online (www.mstateathletics.com) as well as via phone (1-888-GO-DAWGS or 1-662-325-2600) and through the Bulldog Club (1-662-325-3074).
Tickets will remain on sale through the week of Dec. 3-7, before seat assignments are made. Tickets will be assigned to Bulldog Club members and season ticket holders in priority rank, but tickets must be ordered by Friday, Dec. 7 at 4:30 p.m. to secure priority tickets. Tickets purchased after the priority deadline will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.
