The first time Melissa and I went to a road Michigan game together was the 2001 game in State College. Michigan was 3-1 coming in and PSU was 0-3! Michigan shut them out 20-0 in a mostly forgettable game. Although we did have some delicious bologna sandwiches on our tailgate before the game.
We did stay in Punxsutawney PA and visited the groundhog zoo. And stayed in the hotel that Bill Murray stayed in while filming Groundhog Day.

Pitt - Penn State for the Trophy
Pitt won their opener easily last week 33-7 over Albany. That means they carry the jiMpossible-sarcasMike Trophy into week 2 against "arch-rival" Penn State.
The two teams have met once before for the trophy with Penn State maintaining possession 34-14 in 1986.
This is a big opportunity for the trophy to come back to the B1G for the first time since Ohio State lost to Florida in the BCS championship game at the end of the 2007-2008 season.

What I Learned Tonight
I ended up watching the game at Buffalo Wild Wings, which was not a bad choice. When needed, I will do that again.
What I learned:
-M seemed to make its share of mistakes (not surprisingly), but what was more disappointing is not being able to take advantage of PSU's mistakes.
-When playing Buzztime Trivia, if the guy who comes almost every night to play ends up losing (three times) to someone who isn't there very often, he will direct an obscene gesture at the screen when the winner is announced.
-I thought that if M lost, I would pretty much think M will easily lose the rest of the games. But, I don't really feel that way. If M's offense is able to be average (for M), M could win the next two games, and maybe even keep the other two relatively close. I hear the defense is pretty bad, though
-If you have a sticker of Lightning McQueen on your shirt because your 6-year-old son puts it there right before you go to a bar, the waitress will notice, but will not make any comments.
-MSU losing will never feel good enough to overcome the feeling when M loses (proof I am not like many MSU fans)
-When watching a game at a bar, I am at a distinct disadvantage without my roster and my glasses.
