Intrastate war brings
out emotion, intensity
By T.J. Berka
Daily Sports Writer
Hockey at Michigan is big.
There is no question about it. How
else can you explain the 6,000-plus
crazies that fill Yost Ice Arena on
Friday and Saturday night, yelling
their lungs out as the Wolverines bat-
tle the opposition?
Hockey at Michigan State is big,
too..-----------------
There is no Hocke
question abouty
that,- either. How COmmei/d/ty
else can you.--------.-----
explain the capacity crowds at Munn
Arena, dressed in green and white,
urging their Spartans to kill?
So what happens when Michigan
and Michigan State lock horns and
battle it out on the ice? Big and bad,
things.,
The Wolverines and Spartans
don't like each other. Separated by
an hour's worth of highway and a
few national championships, there is
no love lost between the two schools.
Especially when it comes to hock-
ey.
In football, Michigan has fierce
rivalries with Ohio State and Notre
Dame. Michigan State also has a
rivalry with the Fighting Irish.
ily In basketball, Indiana and Purdue
offer heated contests against the
Wolverines and Spartans.
But in hockey, Michigan and
Michigan State is it. While there are
nine other schools in the CCHA,
none of them offers the intensity that
the Wolverines and Spartans bring to
the table when they face each other.
It doesn't hurt that the Wolverines
and Spartans are usually neck-and-
neck atop the CCHA standings. This
season is no different, as Michigan
d State enjoys a slim two-point edge
ll over Michigan heading into tomor-
d row's game at Munn.
Michigan and Michigan State also
ig share other similarities besides the
fact that they sit atop the CCHA and
are from the same state. ,
The Wolverines and the Spartans
both boast legendary coaches in Red
Berenson and Ron Mason. The teams
have split two games this season.
Both teams even have a starting
goalie with the last name of
Blackburn - Josh for Michigan, Joe
for Michigan State, no relation. The
Blackburns are in their first season
starting between the pipes and are
second (Joe) and third (Josh) in the
nation in goals-against average.
With all these similarities, both
teams want to prove why they are
different - or at least,'why they are
better. This desire to prove them-
selves leads to an unrivaled intensity.
That intensity isn't always put into
words. It really isn't necessary - in
fact, the adrenaline-pumping feeling
is better left undescribed. The
actions, in this case, do speak louder
than words.
For example, yesterday Michigan's
strength and conditioning coach Jim
Plocki came in to coordinate
strength drills. Breaking up into six
groups of four, the Wolverines beat
and pushed and pulled each other
until they could barely stand up.
Berenson even got in the act,
wrestling a freshman center to the
ground: Although almost 40 years
his senior, Berenson handled the
frosh easily, inspiring a highly
intense workout to follow.
This was the first time Michigan
did on-ice strength drills, and the
timing was no coincidence. With a
game in East Lansing tomorrow
night, it seemed as if'Berenson had
saved this workout for this specific
moment.
Whatever the Wolverines and
Spartans are saving will be used on
the ice tomorrow night. When
Michigan faces Michigan State in
hockey, there's no such thing as
tomorrow.

While Michigan seems to bring out the best in every intrastate rival, Friday's
matchup with Michigan State will have a particularly emotional history.

Typically, when a team has to play
*hout two All-Americans, it is wor-
ned about the outcome of the upcoming
event. But that is not the case with the
Michigan women's track and field team.
The Wolverines will 'go to the
Michigan Intercollegiate without
seniors Nicole Forrester and Katie
McGregor.
McGregor is still nursing an achilles
injury that has plagued her all season.
"We anticipate McGregor to come
k this week. She is day-to-day and
won't rush her back," coach James
Henry said. "We don't want to rush her
back if she is not ready and have her get
injured again."
Injury is not the reason why Forrester
is not running.
After breaking the Big Ten record for
the high jump with a six-feet-four inch
jump (one-and-1/2 inches from the col-
legiate record), a rest was in order for
Big Ten athlete of the week.
'She leads the country in the high
jump, and we just decided that it would
be a good time to rest her and give fresh-
man Nicole Denamur a chance to com-
pete." Henry said.
The Wolverines expect a successful
trip to Ypsilanti and to repeat as
Michigan Intercollegiate champions.
The Wolverines have won the crown
two of the past three seasons and, with
Michigan State having a down year, the
rIverines expect to make it three out
our.
"Our expectation is to go out an
win," Henry said. "We won't pull out a
the stops, but we plan to put in a goo
effort and see positive results."
"The Spartans "are in a rebuildin
year, so they should not give us ar
problems," Henry said. "They are nota
the level that they have been the pa
few years. Eastern and Western wil
probably be our best competition."
The Wolverines look to use th
weekend as a spring board for the resto
the season.
"We need to get healthy and have
good performance" Henry said. "W
should contend for the Big Ten and fin
ish in the top six in the country, but w
need our top guns," Henry said.
"We could not win the Big Ten, bu
perform better at the NCA.
Championships because of injurie
McGregor will be worth 20-25 pointsa
the Big Ten Championships and abou
10-15 at the NCAA Championships."
Look for sophomore All-Americ
Lisa Ouellet and senior Sarah Hamilto
to win individual titles. At the the Re
Simmons Invitational, Ouellet brough
home the individual title for the 800
meter crown. Hamilton is undefeated i
the 600.
"Ouellet should be seeded numbe
one and do well," Henry said
"Hamilton should win, and be a top ath
lete there. She will run the half-mile th
week. For both her and the rest of th
team, the biggest competitor should b
the clock and teammates, not the com
petition.'

Wolverines lead the series 114-99-6, but the Spartans have emerged victori-
