Wikileaks- Peach Bowl Edition
So as I was looking for the date of the Peach Bowl I was led to the Wikipedia page for the 2018 Peach Bowl. Looks like it has been updated to show us playing Florida for the 2018 Peach Bowl. Caveats that probably anyone can update the page. Hopefully this won't be round 3 with UF.

Embed Failure. My bad
December 2nd, 2018 at 1:06 PM ^
Fuck that

Michael Scott references are an automatic +1.

This quote is very funny but in reality wikipedia is a tremendous source of information. Anyone can write a book, article or anything else and large crowd sourcing tends to edit pretty well. I believe there are several peer-reviewed articles showing the accuracy of text on wikipedia is equivalent or superior to textbooks.
December 2nd, 2018 at 2:13 PM ^
No doubt everything you say is true, but in the context of this thread it's 100% applicable.
December 2nd, 2018 at 2:52 PM ^
Isn't everything on the interweb true?
December 2nd, 2018 at 2:34 PM ^
Yes. The thing that people miss is that while anyone can edit Wikipedia, most people won't. And if they did, they likely wouldn't meet the criteria to not have their content removed.
December 2nd, 2018 at 1:07 PM ^
Yay!

Quick, change it to some team other than UM

That is a lot of detail to just be made up. It's happening.
December 2nd, 2018 at 1:12 PM ^
Most of that can be gleaned from the internet.
December 2nd, 2018 at 1:14 PM ^
Of course. But why would you?
If it's a troll, it's a troll with no point.
December 2nd, 2018 at 1:12 PM ^
It's probably true, but aside from the few items about the teams - coaches and records - the rest would have been there beforehand.
December 2nd, 2018 at 1:09 PM ^
Evacuate the shark tank.
December 2nd, 2018 at 1:09 PM ^
Stupid, stupid, stupid. Tired of playing their crappy offense. We play them more often than we do Purdue and Iowa
December 2nd, 2018 at 1:11 PM ^
Nooooo! Warde Manuel!! Show us some balls please!
December 2nd, 2018 at 1:54 PM ^
What balls do you want him to show? Harbaugh needs to win more or less than 10 games in a season to avoid playing perpetual 9-3 Florida.
December 2nd, 2018 at 2:19 PM ^
Maybe he just wants to see Warde Manuel's balls.
December 2nd, 2018 at 2:54 PM ^
Can that be a private party? I don't want to see them.
December 2nd, 2018 at 1:11 PM ^
Please, for the love of the football gods, fuck no. Florida and the peach bowl sucks so bad.
December 2nd, 2018 at 3:35 PM ^
It's a special kind of honor to be invited to play on the same field as the SEC Championship.
December 2nd, 2018 at 1:12 PM ^
December 2nd, 2018 at 1:14 PM ^
But you can have a Saturday night party at your place with all four Michigan fans in your town.
December 2nd, 2018 at 1:27 PM ^
The problem is that the Rose and Sugar have to be on New Years Day per their deal with the CFP. There are six games to be played and they do not want to be played simultaneously, so that leaves very few options. The Fiesta, Cotton, and Peach bowls rotate in and out of being on NYD, but there isn't much we can do to control which of the prestigious bowls is in that slot. I'd rather play on the 29th in the Peach against a top 10 team than in the Outback Bowl on NYD.
Remember, everyone bitched and complained about the first and second CFP because they played games on New Year's Eve even though it was a working weekday. To solve the problem, they decided to move games to the nearest Saturday. Now people are mad about that. What do you want them to do? Play all the games at the exact same time so that nobody will be able to watch? Further degrade bowls like the Rose and Sugar by making them go up against playoff games being played in their traditional time slots?

December 2nd, 2018 at 2:21 PM ^
1997 called. They heard you knew where to find a good time.
December 2nd, 2018 at 1:12 PM ^
I don't wanna be here when FauxMo finds out that it's sponsored by Chik-fil-A.
December 2nd, 2018 at 1:13 PM ^
Shark Humper booked for CMU to avoid playing his old employer.
December 2nd, 2018 at 1:14 PM ^
I'm not excited about match up either but at least we can shut David Reese up!
December 2nd, 2018 at 1:15 PM ^
Could be one of the many pathetic hating trolls that lurk here and post once awhile thinking they are sly.
December 2nd, 2018 at 1:15 PM ^
In retrospect how many people thought Michigan would even win 10 games this year, including a bowl win?
December 2nd, 2018 at 1:31 PM ^
Well, before the ND game it looks like 10-2 was realistic.
December 2nd, 2018 at 1:39 PM ^
Oh, 10-2 is eminently achievable.
December 2nd, 2018 at 1:41 PM ^
Out of 7 predictions in HTTV only Ace and Seth picked us 9-3. Ace said we’d win the Citeus Bowl. Seth didn’t mention a bowl.
December 2nd, 2018 at 1:18 PM ^
Will Florida be the Home Side of the Stadium?? For Ticket purchasing....I live near Atlanta so for me its GREAT....although rather had the Rose or Fiesta BUT its still a NY6 Bowl so Im Going!
December 2nd, 2018 at 1:22 PM ^
I live in Atlanta and already have tix for the Peach Bowl. Hope it’s Michigan now the Rose isn’t available
December 2nd, 2018 at 1:32 PM ^
Im trying to figure out where to buy my tickets I want to be in the Michigan section or nearby..Im assuming for now Florida will be the Home team and Michigan the Visitors because ya know even though we are ranked Higher they are the SEC and Atlanta is the Home of the SEC and Im sure Florida will be desginated Home
December 2nd, 2018 at 1:36 PM ^
I assume it’s higher ranked team is home, not sure
it may be too late, but if you buy them directly from the Peach Bowl you get the chance for the same seats next year at the same price, and it’s a semifinal game next year
December 2nd, 2018 at 2:08 PM ^
Interesting, didn't know that.
I also live in Atlanta and looking forward to seeing U-M in person (though I wish it were vs LSU).
December 2nd, 2018 at 1:57 PM ^
Home side will be the higher ranked team by the committee, so if Michigan goes they will likely be home team
December 2nd, 2018 at 1:32 PM ^
Completely uninspiring...
December 2nd, 2018 at 1:32 PM ^
Not the greatest matchup.
But so what?
If Michigan wanted a better game...should have played/coached a lot better in Columbus.
Team gets the same number of bowl practices regardless. Use them to fix the stuff that is broken and advance some the the younger guys.
And get the win.
December 2nd, 2018 at 1:35 PM ^
Fuck it, if we are going to play Florida almost every year, I say we designate them rival. Then at least we'd have a winning record against one rival.
December 2nd, 2018 at 3:06 PM ^
If we do it before the bowl then we will surely lose.
December 2nd, 2018 at 1:37 PM ^
The easy way to avoid stuff like this happening in the future is for Michigan to not sale out its allotment of tickets.
We do not want to play Florida because there is no upside. They suck. We’ve already beat them twice with Harbaugh (and no one ever cares) when discussing Harbaugh’s “quality wins.” If we lose, then it’s just another “cant win the big game” brick for the Harbaugh House.
December 2nd, 2018 at 2:14 PM ^
I understand where you're coming from, but man I don't feel we're in the position right now to be saying the Florida team sucks.
Florida could be saying the same thing about us and that there's no upside in playing Michigan because of the way we looked in our last game.
If they beat us, many people will just say Michigan had already proven they weren't that good anyway.
I guess I'm a little sensitive because after that OSU game, a lot of people are using the "sucks" word on the internet to describe Michigan right now.
December 2nd, 2018 at 2:23 PM ^
apparently in college football now winning 9-10 games means you "suck"
what a time to be alive.
