Order up your wings: Mich State to B-Dubs Bowl

Looks like 6-6/3-5 MSU will most likely play in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl, Dec. 29 in Tempe, Ariz.  The most likely opponent is a Big 12 opponent, 7-4/5-3 Oklahoma State.  Kickoff is slated for 8:15 pm MST (6:15 pm  ET).  This used to be called the Insight Bowl.

Final Big Ten standings, MSU disappointment

Your final Big Ten football standings, with ES projected bowls (projection based on Big Ten nabbing two BCS bids. If not, move everything down a notch, with the toss up between Minny and MSU for the Pizza Pizza Bowl bid in Detroit). ESPN projects Notre Dame in Detroit... and MSU deserves to be there, too, IMHO. This was a disappointing season out of Michigan State. It's too bad.

Thank goodness it is basketball and hockey season. At least we have consistent winners in men's and women's hoops, and on the ice.
