Enough picking on Michigan, here’s some good news for the Maize and Blue

We’re usually pretty rough on the Wolverines at tBBC, and as the Owner/President/CEO of this site, I feel it’s time that I admonish Jim for publishing two straight days of “point and laugh” articles at our friends up North.

It’s fun to pick on those guys, but even we should promote happy tidings when they point towards prosperity for UM.

So, to counter Jim’s writings of late, I decided to scour the news and find something that will be good news for Michigan fans. It didn’t take long to find good news for the enemy to the North…..

Teams With Losing Records Could Make Bowl Games in 2010


MONTGOMERY, Ala. — A bowl game is supposed to be a reward for a good season. Now, with the glut of postseason contests, a team with a losing record might get an invitation.

“I think it stinks,” former Nebraska player Aaron Taylor said Wednesday in a text message. The CBS college football analyst said the sport “is becoming perilously close to losing the purity and amateurism that separates it from it’s pro counterpart.”

Finding enough winning teams to fill bowl slots is a fairly recent concern. The number of bowl games has nearly doubled from the 18 held in 1996.

So, chins up, Michigan fans!!!  There’s something to hope for in 2010!

The bar has been raised**!  Slide under it while you still can!
