re: Official Bowl Possibility Thread (keep all comments here)

i agree re: Michigan for the fact that Denardo & the "spread offense attack from the Maize and Blue" is exciting for fans & young recruits who seem to like to watch his exciting style
heck--he ran all over a more balanced/talented team vs Ohio St. today if not for 1 critical, late-game pass/INT;

But Bowls = recruits who are looking @ teams who win pressure games vs. real-opponents [something the NCAA doesn't care about, meh]..as well as atmosphere, not just the "best coaching staffs" although that's what us older fans would like to think..

Our man KEKE & other players have made insightful comments to that point.
Even top recruits talked about it @this years showdown w/ then-top-ranked Gamecocks,
i recall a blue-chipper saying, "it's not what alotta u older fans think,
for us, win or loose is secondary if the 2 teams are closely matched--we want to see the amazing loud fans & support, the noise of 90k fans who'll be cheering for *us* when we get to this program & take the field in all that elexticity..etc."[/b]

--oh yeah, all the Denardo & Michigan talk reminded me of something that made ZERO logical sense to me this season:

Wolverines' scheduling-department who totally blew it by agreeing to have
Denardo & offenwe face up to N!cky's monster-defense in week one--on Nat'l TV in the FAIRYjerryDOME,

Robinson needed a few weeks of warming up//fine-tuning their system b4
facing a brutally talented Saban defense;
if they'd have scheduled that game in mid-season, Nicky woulda won-- but Denardo & Wolverines woulda had lots more confidence/tempo.
