4 Page 8 - The Michigan Daily - Thursday, November 15, 1984 Michigan bowl picture unclear By MIKE MCGRAW The Rose Bowl may be quite a longshot, but a large number of lesser bowls have got their eyes on Michigan should it fail to win the conference title. The official date to extend bowl bids isn't until next Saturday, November 24 at 6:00 p.m. but the Wolverines should have a good idea of where, if anywhere, they will go to spend the holidays after playing Ohio State Satur- day. SHOULD Michigan upset the Buckeyes and finish 7-4, Don Canham and Bo Schembechler will probably have a great deal of invitations to sort through. Bowls that have expressed interest in the Wolverines include the Holiday, Aloha, Peach, Liberty and Hall of Fame. "If Michigan wins we'd be especially interested," said Stan Bates of the Holiday Bowl. "We've always been in- terested in Michigan and Ohio State." The Holiday Bowl has a great need to come up with a good team because it would be playing against currently undefeated and number-three ranked Brigham Young in San Diego on December 21. AMONG THE other bowls that are glaring hard in Michigan's direction, the Peach Bowl in Atlanta could be a prime candidate. The Peach's television contract with CBS ends after this year and would like a big TV draw from the Big Ten to get the ratings up. Another possibility is Memphis' Liberty Bowl, which last year took Notre Dame with a 6-5 record. Like the Peach, this bowl will probably entertain a Big Ten team such as Iowa (6-3-1), Purdue (6-4), Wisconsin (6-3-1), Michigan State (6-4) or Michigan. The Fiesta and Sun Bowls are still watching the Wolverines, but are longshots. ONE BOWL that is making no secret of its desire for Michigan is the Aloha Bowl in Hawaii. Even with a loss in Columbus, the Wolverines could be invited to play there. "Michigan with 6-5 is like others with 8-3," said Aloha executive vice president Mackay Yanagisawa. "We're definitely interested in them. But I think they're going to beat Ohio State." The problem with an Aloha invite is that after Michigan battled UCLA in the Bluebonnet Bowl in 1981, the Big Ten and Pac Ten decided to bar teams of the two conferences from playing each other in a bowl other than the Rose - and the prime choice of the Aloha people right now is UCLA. As for the Cherry Bowl, don't count on it. If the Wolverines beat OSU, they'll accept a bid from an established bowl and if they lose, the Cherry Bowl people would probably want to match Michigan State against a Southeast Conference opponent. Former Wolverine now OSU athletic director By PHIL NUSSEL For 18 years Rick Bay devoted him- self to Michigan. He aided his alma mater by directing external activities of the Alumni Association after many years of work in the athletic depar- tment. No one loved Michigan more than Bay. Today, he is the athletic director at Ohio State. IS HE A traitor? A turncoat? That depends on how you look at it. Bay, who took the job at Ohio State last May after serving as athletic direc- tor at Oregon for three years, explained grateful for my friends. "But once you get out into the professional world, there are other places too that are outstanding and command a great deal of respect. Ohio State is one of those places. "PROFESSIONALLY speaking, there's no question that I'm a Buckeye now. I continue to have a great fondness for the Wolverines except on occasion when they play Ohio State." This week will be especially tough on Bay in that he will be receiving flak . . _ _ ._ The 'Gator' calls it quits DETROIT (UPI) - Gates Brown, popular batting coach of the Detroit Tigers, has decided not to return to ,the club in an apparent tiff with the front office. "We offered him a new contract and he declined to sign it," was all that club Vice President and General Manager Bill Lajoie would say of Brown's sudden decision yesterday. BROWN, 45, though tired of traveling and who talked of quitting last summer, indicated late last year he would probably come back and asked for a raise over his salary last season. "There's more to it than that," Brown said before slamming down the phone when called for an explanation. "They released it. Let them release it in detail." The former outfielder played for 13 seasons and was a coach with the Tigers since 1978. He would have com- pleted 20 seasons in the major leagues early in 1985.

"The Ohio State job represented a unique opportunity," Bay said Monday. "There's just a handful of jobs when it comes to athletic administration that are really special. Ohio State represen- ted a step up for me." BAY'S ATHLETIC career at Michigan began during his freshman year in 1962, when he was an important member of the wrestling team. In 1964, he won All-America wrestling honors and in 1965 he was named the Outstan- ding Wrestler in the Big Ten. He never lost a dual match in the Big Ten in three years. In 1970, he became Michigan's head wrestling coach after working as an assistant under the legendary Cliff Keen. Bay led the Wolverines to a Big Ten title in 1973 and to a second-place finish in the nation the following year. For the next six years, he worked for the Alumni Association, and culminated his Michigan career by successfully directing the $2.6 million fund raising campaign for the new alumni center. AFTER 18 YEARS of loyalty to the maize and blue, Bay said he owes a great deal to Michigan. But his loyalties have changed now. Bay explained: "First of all, I owe a great deal to the University of Michigan. There's no question about that. I'll always begrateful for the background I had at Ann Arbor and I'm ACTUALLY, Bay's first "loyalty clash" was with his mother, who graduated from Ohio State with an M.A. in Elizabethan Theater. When he was at Michigan, his mother sent him sympathy cards when Ohio State won the fall classic. Likewise, she received a card from him when the Wolverines prevailed. There are several factors that make Bay unique as compared to most athletic directors. First of all, he is one of the few athletic directors to have had this position in both the Pac Ten and the Big Ten. He is also not from the football or basketball establishments, like many of today's other athletic directors are. He believes this has helped him. "I THINK it's helped me in my overall perspective," he said. "I'm very much aware of footballhand basketball, but on the other hand,4 having been brought up through wrestling, which is considered a non- revenue sport, I have a greater sen- sitivity for some of the frustrations that coaches in the non-revenue sports suf- fer." A final reason why Bay is unique is that he is very much a patron of the ar- ts. He credited his mother's background in theater for this cultural; influence. Also, he claimed he goes to New York three or four times a year to see various theatrical productions. One may think Bay's situation is very unusual. But actually, several prominent Wolverines can easily iden- tify with this predicament. Bo Schem- bechler was once Woody Hayes' assistant at Ohio State and defensive coordinator Gary Moeller was a player at Columbus. Even the man who signed Bay's degree at Michigan in 1965 could have identified with this situation. Former Michigan president Harlan Hatcher was once on the Ohio State faculty. It just goes to show, loyalties can easily change, no matter who it is. ~a v ... now a Buckeye from both his old and his new friends. But he is taking it all in stride. In fact, he believes the clash of new and old loyalties has made his job a lot of fun. He joked that his new job has cost him friends. He explained: "I've said that I don't have any friends anymore because all my old friends are mad at me for going to Ohio State, and that no one at Ohio State likes me because I went to Michigan. So I'm caught in the gap." GRIDDE PICKS Why did the Yugoslavian national team come all. the way from Europe when they know they're going to get slaughtered by the Michigan basketball team? Of course, they wanted to get their Griddes picks in. Drazen Petrovic, the Yugo's star guard, has already informed the Daily that after he gets roughed up by Butch Wade and his friends, he will turn in his picks so that we can send him a free small pizza from Pizza Bob's when he wins.
