Oops, got a late start on these.
I have seen M and PSU play 13 times, with M carrying a record of 11-2 in those games.
Good news, I don't have to pick a loss! Better news, there are a lot of good games between these two.
I'll start with with the 2001 match-up in Happy Valley.
Melissa and I stayed in Punxsutawney at the same hotel where Bill Murray stayed while filming Groundhog day! We went to their Groundhog zoo and to Gobbler's Nob.
We made the drive into Happy Valley on game day morning ready for the noon kickoff. I really only experience game day driving at away games, since we live close enough to Michigan Stadium to walk. But driving into Happy Valley in an experience.
All roads lead to the parking lots of Beaver Stadium. We were in a field tailgating with some delicious bologna sandwiches. It was a very cold day, we had to buy one of those giant mugs of hot chocolate to keep warm.
Michigan prevailed 20-0 in a game that was never very close.
On the way back to Michigan, we stopped along the Lake Erie shoreline.
Sometimes the best part of the game with the trip and the shared experiences and that's what puts this on on the list.
