How can Michigan be champions of the west when Michigan is in the eastern half of the country?[/quote:e1a4d]
That is from their fight song "Hail to the Victors" which was written in the 1900's when most football was played east of the Mississippi, teams in the western part of the country only started to form around 1920.

Larry Johnson for the Heisman, or at least Kliff Kingsbury!
OSU sucks, so does Michigan. I can't wait for the only REAL rivalry left, the Army-Navy game.
