They basically sent an American Conference team, Houston, to Vegas and placed us here. I like the matchup for us. I'm happy. At 5-7 I'm just glad for more practices and an extra game. The major downside is if we were somehow to lose. That'd kill some of the Egg Bowl momentum. I'd also say it'd embarrass the SEC, but screw the rest of them. I don't care what they think.
    I don't know. If I was ESPN and worried about match ups I would have MSU playing USM in the New Orleans Bowl. We would be the marquee match up on a light football day.
