Bunyan Won One

First the Tigers get into the World Series.  Now the Wolverines beat the Spartans 12-10.  As you may know, this is a huge rivalry, and the Spartans had won the last four years.  Since the beginning of the Bo era, the Spartans had never even taken two in a row before.

It was a hard-fought game.  Too hard-fought, really--Michigan was favored by ten, and in any case Wolverine fans hate counting on last-second field goals--but then, this was State's whole season.

It's turning into quite a sports year.  If the Tigers can play anything like they did against the Yankees, they'll be champs for the first time since '84.  Michigan will not be national champs--no one in the Big Ten will--but they have a reasonable shot at the conference.

By the way, now that the Big Ten's split in two, it looks like Michigan could play OSU at the end of the season, win or lose, and then face them again to see who's champ.  Sorry, that's just stupid.

If they schedule it properly, they could just play four mandatory overtimes (and hope they're not tied at the end).

Hmm. Blimpy Burger.
