in-state rival Michigan State.

91.7 FM Madison, gives his take.

In the midst of the 3-9, 2008 season,
Michigan had one highlight — the largest
comeback in Michigan Stadium history.

The Daily breaks down how the Wolverines
will fare against No. 15 Wisconsin.

Notre Dame (Sept. 1): Touchdown Jesus?
Where is Touchdown Moses?

Western Michigan (Sept. 8): Row the NOPE!
(please don’t sue us PJ)

Wisconsin (Oct. 13): There’s no “I” in Chryst.

Michigan State (Oct. 20): The Michigan Daily
has beaten the State News 13 years in a row.

Penn State (Nov. 3): The App State game gave
us flashbacks even without the 7,000 replays
on BTN.

SMU (Sept. 15): More like Methodisn’t

Rutgers (Nov. 10): Seriously, someone needs
to drain the hot tub.
Nebraska (Sept. 22): Nebraska is undeniably
the worst state to drive through.

Northwestern (Sept. 29): No. No one cares
that you went to Medill. Crawl back in your hole.

Maryland (Oct. 6): Leave it to a coach with the
last name CANADA to lead a team that is *kind
of* good but mostly irrelevant.

Ohio State (Nov. 24): Brett XcXurphy

Indiana (Nov. 17): We spent 5 minutes debat-
ing who their coach was.
