Great call Ref! You have got to love a rivalry. After I watched the highlights I thought about some of the U of M/ MSU games of the past, two of which were my Highs and lows being a football fan. The high point was a win at home (for UM fans, the infamous clock play). The low had to be in the top 5 worst experiences in my life......

I forget which year (on purpose), but we were in the "BIG" House, perfect fall Saturday afternoon, I spent the day walking around the campus there at Ann Arbor, taking in all of the sights and sounds of a college game day. After several hours it was game time. This was an evening game under the lights. Now we (Michigan State) had not won there from a month of Sundays, so I wasn't expecting much but the standard humiliating loss, but folks, we were all over these guys. It was like being in Spartan Stadium, the Michigan fans were actually leaving. At one point in the 3rd quarter I think we may have had a 17 point lead. And my brother (a huge Wolverine fan) was really hurting, but to be honest, I was worried, having that familiar feeling that no lead here was enough. And our Qb got hurt........you could feel the winds of change.

Well, to make a long story short, we lost in OT and it still angers me to this day. I can rember hearing that hated fight song and thousands of maize and blue fans going nuts. I think that was the worst part. I had to repent the next day and asked my pastor for help for some of the things I said. Since that game I have not been able to watch a UM/MSU game from start to finish. Still too much anger there. Never easy being a State fan (or a Lions fan for that matter). But folks, that's what rivalries are all about.

It may be a long time before we win again in Ann Arbor, but at least I have a Spartan win here on the electric gridiron. Great jobs boys and good call ref.....

GO GREEN, GO WHITE!!!!!!
