I would think Detroit would be an easy drive for Michigan, MSU, tOSU, Purdue, and the Hoosiers
you know,....... easy drive for a crappy bowl - perhaps vs a MAC Action team
at least you can turn up the heat at Ford Field
the outdoor fields in NYC, Fenway, and the blue in Boise SUCK!
Maybe Dr Tom can pull up stakes and try the SEC if ya get the chills

And Bert appears to be a well rounded guy

The Motor City Bowl was awesome, back when it was the best Mac team against the worst bowl eligible Big Ten team.

Thanks for a good one, Music City.

In eighteen years of head coaching Bret Bielema executes two points of strategy consistently well: A) asserting control and wearing down opponents at the lines. And B) making undisciplined teams pay once their mistakes start adding up. Tennessee played undisciplined all year. Offense sputtered under pressure and defense checked out at times, and it showed again down the stretch Vs Illinois.

Bielema kindly never interrupts his enemy when they are making a mistake, and in turn, all he asks of us is to kindly never interrupt him when he is chowing down.

You're a frog in a pot of water with the stove turned on high.
Eh.  I didn't care about meaningless exhibition games 30 years ago and I don't care about them now.

I'll still watch them though if I'm not busy with something important, what else is on that's better?

Which is precisely why they keep adding more.  Why wouldn't they?

How did the Alamo Bowl get ahold of the Purdue train horn?

Over today, New Years Eve and New Years Day, there's only one game each day that doesn't have a Big Ten team.
