You and your wantabee football team will need to actually beat somebody before you get a chance to play for something meaningful. Another words, get used to being disappointed, tho I would imagine its second nature at this point. OSU vs. Nutter Dome will be the most watched bowl game of the year. OSU should shame them similar to the way they shamed Michigan. Will be fun to watch. I predict a 42-13 victory.

I won't actually be able to bring myself to actively root for anyone, but it seems like an Ohio State win provides better material. They already kicked our asses so them losing the Fiesta Bowl doesn't give us much for ammo. But if Notre Dame loses the fact that they haven't won a major bowl game since 1993 still holds true. It's not typically an Irish fan's favorite stat lol.

I dunno - ND looked really good at times this year. Gave Clemson their best test of the season. Played Stanford to a standstill at a time when they're rolling.

I can't say they'll have a whole lot more success stopping the run game, but I'm certain they're scoring way more than 13 pts.

But as was posted above - we gotta root FOR Saban, and B. Kelly, following rooting for Urbz vs sparty, and other sundry distasteful choices! Crazy! But - we're in a decent bowl, not playing an Ag school in a minor game for the 1st time in quite a while. So... Harbaugh!

" ND looked really good at times this year" Same could be said about Michigan, but we saw what happens when Meyer and the machine that is OSU wants to win. It will be a bloodbath. Only question is after if Brian Kelly will talk about how they had a great year etc... OR will he pout and get mad at reporters for asking the same questions that Harbaugh got mad and pouted like a little wuss about. I'm betting Kelly mans up and stands tall, unlike Crazy Jim.

That BYU Utah game in Vegas is going to be insane. Vegas is like 50 percent Mormon, mostly BYU fans. I'll be at the game getting blitzed, shouldn't be huge beer lines, that's a positive!

I'm somewhat excited about playing Penn State even though they are annoying. At least it isn't the same old thing for Georgia. Wish we could have played Michigan but the gods seem determined to never let it go down that way. Maybe next year (for the nth time)

almost 4 decades and not ONE time have Georgia and Michigan played..Youd think with all the Big-SEC bowl tie ins it would have happened at least ONCE...but No like you said the football Gods have deemed it not to be so.. These two schools and Ga Tech should play more in all sports..were just down the road on 75 and there are a lot of good recuits down here Michigan should come here more often in FB BB SB and others..Atlanta is a great place for college sports and great place to come for  weekend
