RedDawn4: This weekend will either
be the biggest win or worst loss ever
since being a fan. If you ae any
different opinion, then you're a person
who doesn't understand this game.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -
Cue the media circus.
Cue the unwavering atten-
tion of the sports world.
The final cobblestone has
been laid on the road to Arma-
geddon. No. 2 Michigan and
No. 1 Ohio State are entering
their annual rumble unde-
feated.
After thrashing a seem-
ingly dangerous Indiana team
34-3, the Wolverines appear
primed and ready for what
could be the most monumen-
tal game in the history of col-
lege football's most storied
rivalry.
Here's what's at stake on
Nov. 18:
N The opportunity to fin-
ish the regular season unde-
feated.
" The chance to knock off
the Buckeyes for the first time
since 2003.
" An outright Big Ten title.
" A guaranteed spot in the
BCS National Championship
game.
"It feels great," Michigan
running back Mike Hart said.
"It'll probably be the biggest
game of everyone's lives on our
team. It's a huge game. Unde-
feated. They're undefeated.
We're playing for the Big Ten
championship and a chance
for the National Champion-
ship. I don't think there's a
bigger game out there."
Coming off a lackluster 34-
26 victory over Ball State, the
Wolverines (7-0 Big Ten, 11-0
overall) needed a strong per-
formance on Saturdayto ramp
up to the looming showdown
in Columbus. They delivered.
From the outset, Michigan
smashed an obviously over-
matched Hoosier squad.
After receiving the opening
kickoff, Michigan marched

A defining moment on

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -
As the scores of other college
football games appeared on
the scoreboards in the middle
of the second quarter Satur-
day at Memorial Stadium,
every Michigan fan's head
turned and watched intently,
waiting for the score of the
Ohio State game.
Finally, it came up: Ohio
Students,

State 21, Northwestern 3.
The heads then turned
slightly upward to see an
identical score: Michigan 21,
Indiana 3.
Most realized it at the exact
same moment. It was actually
going to happen: Michigan
and Ohio State will meet this
Saturday undefeated for the
first time since 1973.
By the end of the third
quarter, with Memorial Sta-
dium on the northwest end of
Indiana University's campus
filled primarily with Michi-
gan faithful, the celebrations
began.
Chants of "Beat the Buck-
eyes" and "Go Blue" over-
whelmed the meager sound of
the scattered Hoosier fans left
in the stands.
Even here in Bloomington,
it was clear thatthis game was
only a stepping stone to one of
the most important college

preaches health

For theDaily
University researchers are
using a new tool to combat
poor health: a pulpit.
In a campaign supported
by several studies, nutrition-
ists are teaming up with pre-
dominantly black churches to
preach agospelofhealthyeat-
ing. They hope their sermons
will strike at the underlying
causes of several genetic dis-
eases that plague black com-
munities at higher rates than
the rest of the population.
Body and Soul, the nation-
wide program that the Uni-
versity's Comprehensive
Cancer Center launched
locally last year, hopes to pull
on strong social ties within
black churches to promote
healthy eating.
The program encourages
parishioners to eat more
fruits and vegetables. Stud-
ies have shown this simple
change can lower the risk of
heart disease, diabetes, high
cholesterol, stroke and some
types of cancer.
So far, eight Ann Arbor and
Ypsilanti congregations have
agreed to participate. Nata-
sha Blakeney Wilson, the
cancer center's minority out-
reach coordinator, brought
the program to three of those
churches last month.
