My brother had tickets from work for the U of M vs. Michigan State football game this past weekend and graciously invited Garth to go with him.
This game is a big deal. It's quite the rivalry around here and Michigan State has won the last four years. Michigan State is my Alma Mater so I cheer on MSU, of course. But for some reason Garth is a die hard U of M fan. I think it has something to do with going to the Big House a couple years ago and seeing U of M play live. It was Garth's first introduction to football and that was where his love for it all began. And his love of U of M.
It was a close game and in the last few minutes MSU was winning. I was happy, but felt bad that Garth was at the game and the home team was losing. That's never fun, you know? So I felt kinda bad that he wasn't going to be at a game where the home team won. Then U of M was about to kick a field goal and I realized MSU might actually NOT win this game. Suddenly I didn't feel so bad for Garth and knew my team was in trouble.
Well, MSU did end up losing. We just couldn't pull it together like U of M could. While it would have been nice to win for a fifth time in a row I know it was priceless for Eric and Garth to watch the students rush the field, hear the cheers of an excited crowd, and a passing over of the Paul Bunyan trophy. There is always next year!

Garth has great taste! Jealous they got to be at the game. We were there last year when U-M beat OSU and that was an amazing experience! We were also there 2 weekends ago when U-M beat Illinois... but we left early because it was a blowout and raining. Oh well, they aren't all exciting wins!
so fun! a U of M is still on Hubby's bucket list!
