"Outback is giving all fans something to cheer about," said Outback Steakhouse President, Jeff Smith . "No matter what happens on gameday, everyone is a winner the day after the game at Outback Steakhouse, where tasting victory or maybe swallowing your pride never tasted so good."
The 2013 game marks the 18th year of Outback Steakhouse's title sponsorship of the Bowl, which is the longest bowl sponsorship in history. The Michigan Wolverines will square-off against the South Carolina Gamecocks New Year's Day at Raymond James Stadium on the company's home turf in Tampa, Florida. It is a match-up of two nationally ranked teams from two of the most prestigious conferences in college football - the Big Ten and SEC. The Gamecocks are ranked 10th in the BCS while the Wolverines are ranked 18th.
