It was definately the fact that the game wasn't that interesting.. *smile*.
I think it's a lot of things.  I don't know if the game was blackout in
Michigan, perhaps it should have been TV wise (not so much by my opinion,
but could have been a reason for poor attendence).  It also (believe it or
not) could have held less local interest than MSU/LSSU since Munn sold
out..for the 169th straight time.  Perhaps many people lost some interest
when Michigan lost to Western?  I personally can't talk about a drive,
because I have no idea about Michigan, never having been there in my life.
It could also be that it's World Series time.
 
Personally I think it was a good game, but that it should have been
scheduled at a time when no other game (especially a game with local
interest) was taking place.  I also agree with whomever said that Michigan's
team defense won the game, having mulled over the loss for a day, I would
concur with that statement as well.
