The Motor City Bowl is the pre-eminent bowl game on the calendar and all Big 10 teams strive for an invite to this presitigious game. (We’re going with that as long as Michigan is in the driver’s seat.)
The WLA would like to learn as much as it can about potential MCB suitors from the BigTen, so we sent a questionaire to some fellow BigTen bloggers. [Previously covered: Purdue, Northwestern] Next up is the rising star of Buckeye blogging, Sam, from We Will Always Have Tempe. Gamblin’ extraordinare Jamie Mac ran down the odds for (LONGSHOT) Ohio State to get to the Motor City Bowl. He concludes:
Ohio State, 50-1
If you bite on this line, here’s what you’re basically banking on happening: Ohio Governor Ted Strickland announces another round of state budget cuts. With less money to spread around, OSU receives less dough to pass around to its football players. In protest of the pay cuts, the Buckeye players take a few dives along the way. Despite trying to flip the switch on for Michigan, the Bucks fall to a fired up Wolverine team in Ann Arbor, dropping them to a 6-6 record. A Motor City Bowl official walks into the lockerroom to invite them to the bowl, but Justin Boren mistakes him for a pizza and eats him. Unless, a lingering Alex Boone out in the halls mistakes him for a six pack and drinks him first. In other words, if you bite on this line, then you are a sucker. In related news, Tateriffic and half of the Scout Michigan message board have left messages on our ‘for amusement purposes’ phone line already.
