Game Day?

Today is the day where the fierce Michigan/Michigan State rivalry flares up anew. Yet one could hardly tell it from the attention which it's getting.

Or not getting. When what was once a major clash of titans has become relegated to the Big Ten network. This game used to be one of the premier games on ABC College Football yet can only be found today on a lesser known and lower watched cable service.

The reason is simple: neither team looks that good at this point. Even Michigan's 4-0 record is at the hands of schools not exactly known for their football histories. Victories over Western Michigan and Eastern Michigan and lowly Big Ten rival Indiana hardly seem to count as wins. MSU meanwhile has looked like the Same Old Spartans. Start well, have great expectations, and flounder.

Even I'm not watching the game, and after Tigers baseball U of M football has been my next great sports passion. It's time for a heavy sigh.



I'll guess I'll go watch the second half now.
