Multiple Sources Confirming Michigan vs. Miss. State in the Gator Bowl, Illinois to Texas Bowl, NW to TicketCity Bowl

Well apparently the Big Ten bowls are starting to make their decisions.

No surprises here, but hopefully we'll see a Mich to Gator announcement sometime soon!

December 29, 2010 Houston, TX 
Texas Bowl 6:00 pm ESPN 
Big Ten No. 6 vs. Big 12 No. 5 
Projection: ILLINOIS vs. BAYLOR

 January 1, 2011 Dallas, TX
TicketCity Bowl 12 pm ESPNU
Big Ten No. 6 vs. Big 12 No. 7 (C-USA No. 7 if no Big Ten or Big 12, MAC is the second backup) 
Projection: NORTHWESTERN vs. TEXAS TECH

 

EDIT: According to the Insight Bowl's website, they will be announcing their matchup at 615pm. Not sure if that is Eastern or Mountain time.

EDIT II: Michigan is having various confirmations on Twitter that they will play Mississippi State in the Gator, sounds good to me!

Those Who Stay...

Miss. State?  No sex appeal in a win.  More grumbling and restlessness in a loss.

#20 rushing defense and #14 tackles for loss. Impressive but keep in mind these stats are pre-Denard.

correct?  Those stats seem pretty impressive and I'm more than a little worried about them.  Was really hoping for Tennessee.

Illinois has requested that the game be played on half the field throughout the game. I'm interested in seeing Baylor's response. Illinois is 1-0 in half field games. In related news, Northwestern wants to play on a double length field.

Illinois did not do so well when the field was only 25 yards.

Don't recall them having any trouble when it was 25 yards...but that pesky 3 yard field seemed to get them swallowed up by an avalanche of DEFENSE!!!

Who doesn't want to see Denard in a New Year's Day bowl?

Thinking about that just fills me with joy.

Now all we have to do is DEFEND against them.

Begin purchasing Tums now....

No radio. Nothing of value.

Off topic for the post, but since one of the mods is in town, can the shooting thread be pulled (and the really nasty comment with it)?

It's all John Navarre's fault.

should be an exciting game for sure.  We can see first hand how the chess match between Dan Mullen and RR pan out.  MSU has a good defense, and does well TFL.  However, watching Michigan football on New Years Day will be awesome.  Can't wait to see the team after the extra practices, send the seniors with a bowl win! Go Blue!

Agreed Zone Left.
