Sweetness: Michigan Heads to Sugar Bowl
Just a few Sugar Bowl bullets in the aftermath of the selection show and the reaction over the past few days: > New Orleans. The site of one of the most heartbreaking moments as a Michigan fan. As a student in 1993, I saw it all play out about 15 rows behind the bench at a student and still remember the feeling after that game. Or maybe it was the hangover from being at Pat O’Brien’s until 4am Sunday morning after the Kentucky win. It’ll be my first time back and there will certainly be some memories. > BCS. So it’s nice, I suppose, to be selected to play in a BCS bowl, and being the main attraction on Jan 3rd is a nice benefit. We know why Michigan and Tech were selected. But beyond that, I don’t consider it a great feather in our collective fedora that Michigan was selected to a BCS bowl. To me, outside of the national championship game and the Rose Bowl, the only thing I want to see is a decent venue and more importantly, a quality opponent. I have a feeling that many M fans were so hung up on the concept of getting a BCS bowl bid and by-passing the Spartans in the pecking order that they would have settled for anyone…
