This past weekend I headed out to Notre Dame to hang out with a couple friends Friday night and then traveled north on Saturday to catch ESPN’s College Game Day at East Lansing, Michigan. Michigan State was attempting to stop Penn State from their first Big Ten Championship since 1994. We managed to hang around East Lansing to watch the Ohio State – Michigan game which was taking place about 2 hours away in Ann Arbor. OSU managed a fourth quarter comeback to give Jim Tressel a 4-1 lead in the series. One of the more amusing moments during the trip (besides the girl who decided to vomit in the middle of the Spartan Stadium concourse) was when the OSU – Michigan score was showed on the big screen (third row, fourth picture), nearly the entire crowded cheered, fans from both schools. Just a note of how hated Michigan actually is…

The MSU – PSU game was a really good game that was in doubt until the end of the fourth quarter. The game started off with several red zone attempts by Michigan State only to be snuffed out by turnovers. The Lion’s offense pretty much sputtered all game until late in the fourth. The first half of the game was mostly a battle of field position and the kicking game, including a blocked punt by both teams.

Thanks to Dominic & Kelly for letting us crash at their place in South Bend.
Also thanks again to Julie for the tickets to what turned out to be a great game.

Next up: Possibly Army – Navy Game?
