with either Georgia or Texas A&M. Texas A&M put up only a single touchdown against Vanderbilt and a bad LSU team. They are not the offense when Manziel was there.

If the Tigers (8-3) and Wolverines (9-3) pair up Jan. 1 in Orlando, the game would feature a pair of former Michigan players as opposing coaches, as Les Miles and Jim Harbaugh both played for Bo Schembechler in Ann Arbor.

I would think this is the sort of matchup that Michigan would want if it were given to them. I don't understand the reluctant attitude from some folks honestly. I must admit it would be interesting to see two guys who played for Bo at various points coaching in the same game.

That matchup would create a dilemma for me since I want both Les and Michigan to win their bowl games. I wish we had home-and-home games scheduled with LSU, though. I'd like to see Michigan play at Death Valley, and I think it would be cool for Les to bring LSU to the Big House.

This would be a fun matchup and the atmosphere would be fun, would you rather have a nothing bowl against a AAC opponent. We wanted to be back at a big level and we are. Give the team time to practice and heal. we got stomped against one of two teams in college football with head and shoulders talent above the field. Unless M plays Bama that's not happening again, let's see what happens, have some optimism and cheer like hell.

lucky to have him by Spring practice.  And at this point we don't a QB.  We are more like State was a month ago than we were then.  A running QB would be very hard for this defense to stop without our starting D line.

I'm all for playing the best, but we need our best and until we hear otherwise, we're not gonna have our QB, much less our D line. 

Florida's offsense is nothing to get excited about, but Fournette could be ugly, especially if the tackling doesn't improve.   I would prefer no spread option teams with overwhelming speed.

This program is still somewhat talent deficient, a NYD game against LSU would be entertaining, but Miss State or Oregon, not so much.  Heck ND would be a struggle for us.  They looked good against Stanford.
