I'd rather play Michigan and beat the crap out of Harbaugh. But I'll take Minnesota.

Beating Big 10 Butch would be a nice consolation prize. But selfishly I’m still hoping for Jacksonville. Easy, cheap trip for me.

Gator Bowl vs. Michigan would be perfect. That's the one bowl (besides the Music City Bowl, just because it's a 3-hour drive) that I'd go to.

I like it.  I'll honestly be excited whoever we play.

Who is Big 10 Butch?  Is that a shot at Harbaugh?  If so, I get it, but Harbaugh >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Jones.  I mean, by a mile light year

Fleck.

Ah, okay.  Physical resemblence i presume, because while i don't know much about Fleck, I am going to assume taking Minnisota to their current record with an upset of PSU is better than anything Butch did at UT.

It's mainly because he has the same dork cheerleader persona, and he has a slogan for every occasion.

I see.  He thinks John Legend is elite?   :dielaughing:

But yeah I get it.  And I don't know, is beating PSU this year better than wins over Florida and Georgia? I am going to say he's probably a better coach than Butch, but does seem to have the same carny barker approach.

BIG has the same problem the SEC has. One team dominating it. Hopefully Bama's domination is over. The Bucknuts domination of the BIG?  Not so much. The Buckeyes recruited like an SEC team under Meyer. That's why they are more athletic than any other BIG team and that's why they have dominated the BIG.

Our bowl game is dependent on how many teams above us in the SEC get at-large selections.  If the SEC gets a team into both the Orange and the Cotton, we stand a good chance of a Florida bowl game.  If the SEC gets neither of those, it seems that UT must end up farther north for a bowl game.  All of this is simply my opinion, of course.

I would like to see our defense against the Memphis offense. But they probably get a good NYD bowl game.

If Memphis wins this weekend they are headed to the Cotton Bowl.
