We should just offer our services to whatever bowl lets us be the home team for once.

This is one person's projection (among many), he also has Iowa over NW in the Holiday Bowl (which no one has projected). I still think the Big Ten will send Michigan out to the Holiday Bowl, having not been out west since 2007.

i must have missed it. don't think we've played them since the '70's.

for obvious reasons

Also have fuzzy memories of around that time, something about getting raped and pillaged by Mississippi State? Or maybe it was just a bad dream. Or an acid flashback.
November 29th, 2017 at 2:30 PM ^
you must have done too much acid back in the day. yep. that's it.

If the Outback Bowl wants Michigan, they'll take them.

Got them in the Citrus against LSU.
NW in the Music City Bowl

because the agreement is for them to get five different teams in six years and we were there two years ago.
For the same reason, NW and Iowa can't be in the Outback, which is why we pretty much have to be there, unless they preferred Purdue for some reason.
Looking at the B1G standings is pretty amazing this year. There is only one 7-5 team (Iowa) and one 6-6 team (Purdue).
Thin middle class in the conference this year.
November 29th, 2017 at 8:18 PM ^
I'm jealous. I want us to play LSU.

Kickin it Pentecost style!

SEC East again? Ugh.

i wanted it to be in san diego so badly. oh well. at least the new UM alum bar in town is also a south carolina bar. that will be fun
November 28th, 2017 at 11:13 PM ^
Quick glance... Looks like we're 2-2 at the Outback Bowl.

This is a good matchup for us.
A very winnable game and one that helps gets us to 9-4 and some positive momentum going into the offseason.
Stanford and Washington are harder matchups and probably a step above South Carolina overall.
It would be great to get revenge on that last game in 2013 as well. We had like 2-3 chances to end the game on last last drive.
It would have been hilarious for them to celebrate the Clowney hit and then have to mention it occurred in a loss, but we let them off the hook.
This team we blow them out.

Only downside is this gives ESPN an opportunity to show that clip 500 fucking times. I ran into Vincent Smith during a golf course tailgate and mentioned how fucking annoying that was that they constantly showed it....then I realized he was much more annoyed.

it's bizarre that so many in this thread seem to think SC will be a cakewalk.

November 29th, 2017 at 12:22 AM ^
That's exactly what was said prior to the MSU game, and offensively we shit the bed in the critical first half.
SC ain't a great team, but neither are we.
November 29th, 2017 at 12:42 AM ^
We should have beat them if we didn't turn it over 5 times and their defense didn't turn out to be as bad as previosuly thought. South Carolina is a mediocre team.
November 29th, 2017 at 12:52 AM ^
November 29th, 2017 at 2:59 AM ^
of beating SC, than Stanford or WA! There's no guarantee win.
November 29th, 2017 at 8:26 AM ^
JOK will not be playing. Not a great analogy.
Go Blue!

He will after our OL misses another stunt and allows somebody to piledrive Peters into the turf.
I've seen Michigan lose 24 bowl games since Jan. 1, 1970—which is the most bowl losses of any program in the country in that time—and I can assure you that the vast majority of Michigan fans were absolutely convinced we were going to win each and every one of those games we lost, for all kinds of optimistic reasons. Many of those losses were to teams ranked under us, so any time Michigan fans start crowing in advance about how the team we're going to play can't match up with us, my Michigan Fan Overconfidence Radar goes off.
The only college football program with as many bowl losses as Michigan with a worse overall bowl winning percentage is Arkansas. Considering how highly rated Michigan has typically been since 1970, our bowl performance has been ass.

getting they'd be the 9th best defense UM has faced?
FEI ranks USC with the 37th best defense in the country and S&P ranks their defense 46th. That obviously isn't dominating but it's not hot garbage either.
