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.<\/p>\n
It’s fun to pick on those guys, but even we should promote happy tidings when they point towards prosperity for UM.<\/p>\n
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…..<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n “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.”<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n So, chins up, Michigan fans!!!\u00a0 There’s something to hope for in 2010!<\/p>\n The bar has been raised**!\u00a0 Slide under it while you still can!<\/p>\n ———-<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
