The 100th Meeting

between Michigan and Michigan State - a game I always love to watch and have always rooted for the underdog - State. It has been 6 long years since State beat U of M and that win back in 2001 was controversial, but a win nonetheless. Today I thought the Spartans would come out victorious as they were playing a good game up until about 4 minutes left in the 4th quarter. State was up 24-21 with about 3 minutes to go in the game. Henne throws a bomb, a jump ball, in the endzone to Manningham and the Wolverines go up 28-24. State had 2:20 left on the clock to go 70 yards to score a touchdown. But the Wolverine defense with its contant blitzing denied the Spartans of a victory. This was State's 5th loss this season of 7 points or less while U of M has won their last 8 after losing their first 2 games of the season. If Michigan can win their next 2 games they will be Rose Bowl bound.

I will be rooting for the Wolverines in 2 weeks when they host #1 Ohio State - another game I love to watch but root for the Wolverines. I just can't seem to be a Wolverines fan all the time!
