http://notredame.rivals.com/showmsg.asp?fid=335&tid=84206213&mid=84206213&sid=961&style=2 Local Detroit radio (1270 AM WXYT) was reporting today that someone very high up in the Michigan athletic department stated that they've been in contact with the Rose Bowl and the Rose Bowl is seriously considering taking ND to play LSU, instead of Michigan against LSU. The reason is that this would be Michigan's 3rd trip to the Rose Bowl in 4 years and that they'd like to mix things up. They are concerned that Michigan fans wouldn't travel well since they've been to Pasadena a couple of times over the last few years. In addition, the Orange Bowl supposedly is really trying to get Michigan. According to the two 1270 AM radio hosts, this is someone that you can trust and they would not normally run with a "rumor," but this source is so high up that you can believe it. They didn't say who the source was, but it has to either be the AD or very close to the AD. They said nothing is set in stone and a lot of discussions are still on-going, but the Rose Bowl is seriously looking for someone new.
macattack, I thought I would use the same format in the thread title so people could view both one after the other. sorry to take artistic license without asking. this is all getting so crazy, but it's exciting as hell!
Look at what one Notre Dame fan says: AceInTheHole9 Post #525 Re: [Detroit Radio] ND to Rose Bowl (instead of UM) vs. LSU Reply Wow...one thing for sure is, I would rather play UM over LSU, but I still wouldn't mind play anyone.

I would love to play Notre Dame in the Rose Bowl. We would crush them, just like all the other good teams have. A better matchup would be Michigan. That would be and awesome game. I don't know who would win that one.
I am sorry guys for whatever reason I have a real problem with Notre Dame at any bowl higher than the Cotton. If it's about bringing fans then let's just have the schools that bring the most in the bowl games, but if it about wins and quality wins that is a completely different. I AM SORRY NOTRE DAME DID NOT HAVE A SINGLE QUALITY WIN. They won every game they should have. They should have lost to both Michigan State and to Navy. They got crushed by Michigan.
