For someone that has followed Ohio Football religiously since the 1970s (at times a very small congregation) it is amazing to read the negativity on this board after a win, a 6-3 record, and bowl eligibility.  Get a bit of perspective -- Ohio now has a sagarin rating above teams that formerly would have been unthinkable all in a season where we all believe we should have two more wins. 

Anyhow, the point of this is that going to a bowl, any bowl, against any opponent, is still good... but, if you really want something to play for consider that the Pizza Bowl pits the #1 MAC team against #8 Big Ten, which is very likely to be either a 7-5 Michigan or a 7-5 Penn State.   If you want something to play for, there it is.

ESPN's guys have a different take on this than CBS....One guy has us in Boise taking on Iowa State. The other has us in San Francisco's Kraft Bowl against recent top 25 Nevada. I'll take these over UL-Monroe anyway day, despite the trip out west.

Actually, great points. Michigan would be fantastic, I think that would be the ultimate. They are obviously down, but you can't get a bigger name than that for the post-season. It would be really cool.

However, I have to wonder aloud what method of evasion our Administration would use to get us out of the Michigan game and into the Louisiana Monroe game.

Interesting to see what the options will be.  We will get an invite based on our ability to travel (unless a big name like Michigan can make up for our limited ability to travel).
