I'll be there as long as I don't get washed away driving from Nashville on Friday.

Taking the average attendance at Michigan's last ten bowl appearances (74,735), I then made an assumption that approximately half of those were Michigan fans historically (37,367). Allowing for the relative attractiveness of this matchup, add a potential 5%. So, I would go with something in the 37,000-42,000 range.

This might be a little different though, because fans have had over a year to plan for this one, instead of one month. I'm not sure if that helps or hurts us, since Alabama's in the same boat.
