Happy New Year! Today brings one of the only bowl games whose existence I will never complain about, Alabama having to slum it against Michigan, and Georgia playing a school whose football program was regarded as beyond loathsome just years ago but is now the scrappy underdog against the Dawgs.
What a day!
Here’s the schedule, and one thought for each game.
- Citrus Bowl: Alabama vs. Michigan, 1 p.m., ABC
Tempting though it is to think that Alabama is set for a letdown after losing to Auburn and not making the College Football Playoff, isn’t it more likely that the Crimson Tide are mad about that, and happy to take out that being mad on Michigan?
