UM vs. EMU 10-6-07

Today is a game many of us are having a hard time getting excited for. Its Eastern Michigan for Heaven's sake. Not exactly a great rivalry or anything - more a showdown of Washtenaw County, big brother versus their much younger cousin that they don't particularly care for. The only reason I'm excited about it is because its the first game I will have seen since the Notre Dame game two weeks ago. I feel so out of the loop!

It is particularly hot today - the game time temperature should be in the mid 80s - outside the stadium - factor in 10-15 degrees warmer inside and you have 108,000 very uncomfortable fans! We are all wishing for some fall-like temperatures to accommodate our pre-game festivities and so as not to continue getting sunburned every week!

Today will be a history making day. Michael Hart will surpass Anthony Thomas AKA the A-Train to become the all-time leading rusher in Michigan Football history. Michigan is favored by 31.5 points - I took EMU and the points, I love Michigan, but I'm not crazy!
