The cash the alumni base has is being well-used here.   Now, the question is which alumni base?

Young people wont understand this just yet.  But nothing, and I mean nothing, makes you feel older than seeing a kid playing college sports when you grew up rooting for/against his parent.

Man, we didn't make New Years day and we have to play Bama again.  Lets hope we have the same result.

IF YOU ARE A DIEHARD MICHIGAN FAN....

Get thee to a copy of The Victors by the Mgoblog guys.

So freaking good.   The joy is so strong.

I see Underwood is enrolling early. Will he be able to participate in bowl practices? That would be big for a guy wanting to start day one.

Yeah, i think that is the plan.  I had heard from various folks that his parents want him to redshirt.

as a member of one of those fanbases, i say i dont care.

it will get ok ratings because its michigan alabama, but not massive ratings because it means nothing, the best players wont play, and its on new years eve.

i wonder what the bowl game ratings will look like this year with all the focus on the playoff?  this one will probably get the highest non-playoff ratings.  

maybe.  they played a few years ago in a bama second half beatdown of shea patterson and i doubt many people watched.

Concur that it won't be as compelling as last year's game which was the highest drama.  Michigan sealing its legacy on its way to a natty, Saban disgusted with his mercenary team failing to stop Blake and JJ et.al.,  and Michigan's elite D stopping Milroe on 4th down in overtime.  Hard to measure up to that.  

But, If you were the bag man sponsor of a bowl game that was not also a CFB playoff game you could not ask for a better matchup.  There are sicko fans who will consume all content involving their teams.

this is the thing. I can't see any of M's draft eligibles playing and I'm sure the same will be true with Bama. It's going to be two hollowed out shells of teams. Well, for the same reasons at least we know M will have it's starting QB....😂

Play calling sucks. Run up the middle 3x and punt.
