UM: Football Rivalry

By

The Detroit News publishes a Q&A with athletic directors at the University of Michigan and Michigan State – Dave Brandon and Mark Hollis – in advance of Saturday’s UM-MSU football game in Ann Arbor. Regarding a possible night game in the future between the teams, Brandon had this to say: ”I’ve talked to a lot of my colleagues who have hosted games, and we’ve certainly played enough of them on the road to know that the atmosphere that you create in the evening, prime-time, partying all day, all those realities of how it works, is like pouring a little bit of gasoline on the atmosphere. That’s why the fans love it, that’s why the networks love it. My point of view is, I’m not sure we need any gasoline poured on the Michigan-Michigan State rivalry.” [Source]
