Out of fear of potentially jinxing this and realizing that we do live in Michigan, I will just say that things are looking awfully good weather-wise for Saturday's Michigan-Michigan State game.

Because the Michigan-Michigan State game is often played in late October or early November, weather like this is not common at all for this rivalry. In fact, more often than not the weather is cold just because that is how October is in Michigan. If the forecast holds, though, it will definitely be a pleasant surprise to have mid-September-like weather for this game.
