Michigan is going to a bowl game because they are a team that deserves a post season berth, and they earned it.
They'll probably get beat. So what? If Penn State and OlieO was doing the things that they were supposed to be doing, the conference would probably be more fairly matched up with like opponents in our bowl slots. Instead, the rest of the league has to clean up the mess left behind by the "flagship" and their cheating, and Penn State for their lack of institutional control/supervision. We'll probably get our butts beat because we shouldn't be playing a 1 or 2 loss team in a bowl game.
Thanks OlieO and Penn State, .. for letting the conference down.
That being said,...
Michigan should use the extra bowl practices to get snaps/reps for the new kids that they'll be counting on next year. Devin Gardner should get 90% of the snaps in the bowl game practices.
Ironic and telling that Saint Jim was honored at today's game at the snake pit. Here is a man, whose dishonesty directly led to the CURRENT UNDEFEATED TEAM being denied BCS consideration, which they earned on the field ... yet the cheater was being honored. If that doesn't say everything you need to know about the mindset in the state of ohio, I don't know what else you need. "He beat Michigan". That's all that counts.
Telling.
And while Michigan may only have a "moral" victory in the upcoming bowl game, you guys don't even get that. Instead, you get to explain to this undefeated OlieO team why they have to sit at home, and teams with 4 losses are playing in a bowl game.
"BECAUSE ITS MORE IMPORTANT THAT WE BEAT MICHIGAN AT ALL COSTS"
Yea... they'll buy that .... it'll be something they can share with their grandchildren....
