Bowl game announcements thread

Submitted by Wolverine Devotee on

I figure we could just put a big thread together to talk about all the other non-NY6 bowl game news as it comes out.

ESPN doesn't do a bowl selection show anymore where all the games are announced in one sitting, so the news of bowl game matchups will come out throughout the day. 

edit: nevermind. ESPNU is doing a show at 4. Oh well, we can still have this thread.

We already have an interesting storyline game. The Willie Taggart bowl.

WKU vs USF at Marlins Park.

Ugh.........that's a shame. Everyone was hoping for Boca Raton since the boat rowing horses are headed to the Bahamas (where it's just better, better in the Bahamas)

I've been to Mobile and the only cool thing there is the U.S.S. Alabama.

No, I've said on here that I don't drink awhile ago. 

It's still dangerous and there's too much negative that can come from it imo. I've seen the negatives up close personally (at a young age, too) unfortunately, which gives me those thoughts and worries.

Doesn't mean I won't have a drink at bar on a beach that I've gone to almost every other summer.

Looking forward to that one, expecting my Air Force Falcons to make that one. They played in the MWC championship yesterday losing a close one. Playing against a B1G team, should be interesting matchup.

My damn Sparty uncle just posted on FB that MSU is on their way to the Playoff while Michigan is "hoping to make a bowl. LOL" Anyone else still wondering why we hate them so much?

Well in their minds they have been owning us since the First World War - because to them that was the day Mike Hart called them Little Brother.

They're remarkably uninterested in human history before D'Antoni, although a few of their more grizzled clan members will occasionally invoke Bubba Smith or Andre Rison.

But the younger sparty just shove them aside like they were Archie Griffin and look for another couch to torch...

It amazes me that Sparty still does not know how to act after having several successful seasons. My wife can not stand when they win because how they act on Facebook. If they do not know how to act now, just wait when until they start their demise. You will never hear from most of them again. Can't wait!!! Up yours Conner Cook.

Drawing Florida in the Citrus Bowl would be a good bookend to the 2017 opener in Dallas, I guess. I think we'd match up better with them than LSU. If by some chance we could get Notre Dame that would be fun.

In reality, I just want to enjoy Christmas in the warm company of family and friends, get a win over a quality opponent and move on. This season, while nearly reaching my most-optimistic expectations, has left a bad taste in my mouth.

Also, Sparty must lose at all costs for the future to remain tolerable.

The Fiesta Bowl is the same time as the Citrus Bowl meaning our national audience will not be great in all likelihood -- especially if the Fiesta Bowl is Ohio State vs Notre Dame.

Good chart but you're missing the New Year's Eve games. I think it's just the Peach and two playoff games but I'm not sure.

Also, the Fiesta bowl is at 1 pm? That's 10 AM local time on New years day. Gonna be a rough morning for the fans, and probably a sleepy game, not that I'll be watching.
