SAE dominated FIJI 30-12 in balmy conditions down on the corner of South University and Washtenaw on Saturday morning. When they announced the game was moved to November naturally I assumed it would be frigid and it turned out to be one of the nicest mornings for a Mud Bowl in memory. The event once again benefitted Mott Children’s Hospital and no doubt raised quite a bit of money based on the crowd and the sponsors. Thanks to Geoff Voss for providing these, more later. Holding? Loosely enforced in the Mud Bowl Glad they added a scoreboard. The most common question at previous Mud Bowls: “When do the girls play?” The second most common question, “What’s the score?” Flop around in some frigid mud? No problemo. But, “Ewww, keep that damp dirty towel away!” Related: SAE Mudbowl 2010 – Photo Gallery SAE Mud Bowl 2009: Recap & Photos Mud Bowl 2008: SAE Rolls (photos, video) Follow MVictors on Twitter

Mud Bowl Preview
The SAE Mud Bowl is Saturday, my sources (HT: GV) tell me the home team will face FIJI in the annual slopfest. I’m still unclear if two teams of ladies will entertain during halftime. Game time is around 9am and I’ve got the early line at FIJI –6. The visitors feature quarterback Ben Fry, a standout in high school at Grosse Pointe South who was also on the U-M varsity roster last year. While success on a regular field doesn’t always translate to the mud, I understand Fry is quite a weapon. We’ll see. The event benefits Mott Children’s Hospital once again this year.
