Wildcat - or Mildcat - Fever

Michigan plays Northwestern tomorrow in its final football game in Ann Arbor this year.

Northwestern is a small school compared to Michigan but its football team makes me nervous. They've beaten Purdue, Ohio State, and Penn State this year. They're kind of a David to the Michigan Goliath. Michigan is tied with Wisconsin atop the Big 10. If Michigan is already focusing on THE game next week in Columbus, they could find themselves beaten. Northwestern has proven vexatious to Michigan head coach, Lloyd Carr, in recent years. Three of Carr's 16 Big 10 losses have come at the hands of Northwestern. Real freshman QB, Chad Henne, can use the work against what is likely to be a scrappy Northwestern team.

And speaking of being atop the Big 10... I find myself in the awkward position of having to root for Michigan State tomorrow when they square-off against Wisconsin this weekend in Madison. If MSU could pull-off the big upset, Michigan would have a good shot at the Rose Bowl. Otherwise... who knows what I'll be watching on New Year's Day. The Wolverines could find themselves playing Georgia or Boise State!?! *Ppffft*

But rooting for Michigan State? The fabric of the cosmos could be rent in two. Seriously. What? You think I exaggerate?

Anyway, because I live in Maryland, I'm sure I won't get to see Big 10 football action on TV.

Give us some of that great ACC stuff.
