[NU Sports] Meineke Bowl

[Mike Nolan]

All things considered, I think we'll match up better against Texas A&M
than we would have against Houston, despite their meltdown this past weekend.
And I think they'll be a team that thinks it has to prove itself all over again,
and what better way to do it than knocking off a Big Ten team?

Western Michigan would probably have been a team we'd have matched up 
well against, though I think the downside of such a game is you often
don't impress by winning and you look bad by losing.

I think a Saturday late morning game may get a few more viewers than a 
Wednesday afternoon game would have, too.

I almost missed our New Years Morning kickoff in the Outback Bowl, though.
Somehow I got the time wrong in my head and I was still working on brunch 
in the kitchen.  Good thing the DVR was already set.
