Saturday morning. No work. Michigan on TV. Life (hopefully) is good.
Purdue put a whuppin' on Michigan a week ago and turned that into a legit chance at an upset against Wisconsin. Michigan in turn rebounded to spank Penn State. Purdue hasn't won on the road since 2005. Anyone else worried now that they know that?
Michigan sits at 15-4 (3-1) and Purdue at 13-6 (2-3)
