Besides Tinsel...that is per me. You shouldn't need any other source.
If you had tweeted it, it would have been per you. It was tweeted by Brett McMurphy, whoever that is, who is citing "sources."
I'll wait until ESPN announces it.

Punch me in the face. I hate this game.
Nope, it is per me, since I am the one who posted it here
multiple sources are reporting it.
Officially confirmed by the athletic department.
A lot of talking heads had Michigan coming this way, to San Diego.
I would have been able to go to that game.
I should have asked you before getting my hopes up, I guess.
why? I admit, I don't know much about South Carolina this season
are they a bad matchup?
or are you just soured, because it is not a playoff game and it's a meaningless bowl game?
Yes. You should have
You can go to San Diego and watch Michigan St play
Is that where Sparty's going?
Are they playing Stanford?
That's who the prognosticators had as the B1G rep's projected opponent.
MSU is playing Washington ST in the Holiday Bowl
so yes...but no
I want to play a team with some worth, like Stanford or LSU.

The thing is...the matchup isn't much in Michigan's control; the bowl assignment is a negotiation between each qualifying team and the conference. There's a B1G - SEC tie in with the Outback Bowl, and the SEC chose U So Carolina and the B1G chose Michigan.
LSU is going to play Notre Dame in the Citrus Bowl, and Stanford is going to play TCU in the Alamo Bowl.
Stanford and TCU deserve each other more than Michigan deserves either, both having gotten to their conference championship game, and Notre Dame had a better season than Michigan; obviously the SEC is going to pick that match up, rather than to send LSU to the Outback Bowl.[/QUOTE. Good analysis. I roll my eyes at our matchup but in the end im ok with it. There arent many pure big 10 fans between the 2 boards here. Go green, go blue. I hope the b10 does well
