Yes, things have changed.  The crowd is now very vocal, and very
pro-Michigan.  They are not outnumbered by any visiting team's fans.
 
 
 
I think you answered your own question Alan.  Where were the UM fans when
the Hockey team was mediocre?  There were none!  If the football team
finished middle of the road for a few years, it would be interesting to see
what would happen there as well.
 
I will admit that I am biased MSU fan extremely, but I still feel that I had
some valid points.
We'll see if the Spartans can finally beat UM at Joe Louis this weekend.
When was the last time MSU beat UM at the JLA?
