OGT: Capital One Bowl, Michigan vs. Florida (New Year's Day, 1 pm ABC)

[Timone]

Yeah. I mean, come on, when your idea of a Classic college football game is Michigan getting wacked 28-14 by USC in the '04 Rose Bowl....

[Timone]

Ok, I don't want to sound too much like a homer, but in retrospect the fact Michigan were able to win this game with 4 turnovers makes it even sweeter.

[Timone]

Oh AND Michigan handed the SEC their first bowl loss.

Not only did UM buck the trend of SEC winning and Big Ten losing, but isn't UM the only team with a coaching change to win?

[MoTown]

O-VER-RA-TED!

Here's my big prediction: Michigan and Florida have the same exact record. Michigan beat Florida. I will bet my house that they're still ranked higher than Michigan in the final rankings.

That's the SEC love.

Go Blue! My new year could not have had a better start!

I haven't sifted through this thread...has bukdow showed up at all?

[Balkan]

A nice mark for Chad Henne to leave on, same with Hart. With the old guard gone, the UM-MSU game is going to be far more interesting.

And BTW, that's the way I've wanted Michigan to play for 20 years!! Great to see, but frustrating at the same time because of what could have been.
