Let me say this, Michigan does not play in a lot of "Wheateater Poinsettia Bowl" games. They mostly play on January 1 or later.
Once again, I will take the history and tradition of Michigan than anyone else in the Big Ten or even recent history of Ohio State. At least Michigan can beat SEC teams on a regular basis in bowl games. When this happens to many other teams across the country no one cares. In 1999 and 2000 the great USC did not even go to bowl games before their big run at National Championships. I would rather go to bowls and qualify for bowl games, then have a winless season like Illinois did just a few years ago.
