2012 SUGAR BOWL GAME INFO:
Date: January 09, 2012
Location: Superdome
Venue: New Orleans, LA
Teams: Michigan Wolverines vs. Virginia Tech Hokies
The Sugar Bowl in New Orleans’ Mercedes-Benz Superdome will be a battle that will rival the one that finished the War of 1812. Brady Hoke’s 10-2 Wolverines captured an at-large bid to show the world they’ve come back in a big way under the first year under his guidance. Virginia Tech, again under Frank Beamer, is a perennial power that never seems to show signs of running out of recruits. The 11-2 Hokies thrived on their top-15 defense, while Hoke’s Wolverines uses its quarterback Denard Robinson like a chess piece mixed with a pinball—everywhere on the field, but smartly racking up yards and never putting his team in harm’s way. This will be one of the marquee match-ups this bowl season and will have people talking about it for a long time. Don’t miss out and get your seats today!
