The day of Darkness with the passing of Bo.  Like in Star Wars when Obi Wan dies and the wandering Skywalker seeks the knowledge it takes to destroy the Empire to restore the Republic and to its proper place.  Bo is Ole Ben and Harbaugh is Luke Skywalker.

Time in the NFL was his flirting with the darkside

We win the title over Ohio State in a rematch, and discover that Woody, obviously Darth Vader, is the father of our coaching tree. 

I will see myself to the door.

Was hoping for Florida over LSU. After seeing what Elliott did to us last week, I would've cringed at the thought of going up against Fournette.

Seems like a fairly even matchup. If Glasgow can manage to work his way back in, I think we've got a good shot of finishing up with a 10 win season.

Ended up booking from Spirit Airlines. 

The Under Armour game is also in Orlando on Jan 2nd. Tickets are only $15. Rashan Gary, Kareem Walker , Ben Bedeson, etc.

So for the third time, we will play the Gators in their home state with a crowd advantage of about 70/30 in favor of Florida.

That would make another win over them feel pretty damn good.

Memories of Braylon Edwards doing the Gator chomp after burning their secondary.

And if Florida's players want to instigate a near brawl before kickoff again like our last meeting, I'm all for it. It really lit a fire under our players.

Maybe that could push it to 65/35.  But geography is still decidedly in their favor, just 90 miles from their campus. 

It's the equivalent if this game were being played in Kalamazoo.

But I'll try to drop this.  The southern schools are always going to have this advantage in bowl season and that's never going to change.  Nothing anyone can do about it.

What do you think Vegas will make the line on this game? I wouldn't think the line would be more than a point or two either way. I'm guessing It opens up as a pickem and moves to mich -2 before the game.

Personally I really would've loved to play LSU or Georgia, someone different. 3rd time in 10 ish years we meet in a bowl, and we open the 2017 season with them. But I really shouldn't complain too much, cause this beats last years bowl game...
