My wife and I and a friend of ours drove out to Ann Arbor this weekend and met my parents to go to the Michigan vs Penn State game at Michigan Stadium. My friend's also a big Michigan fan, and it was his first time at the Big House, so he was pretty excited. Here are some pics from the game. Enjoy!

The Michigan offense in action.
Running-back Mike Hart lines up behind freshman quarterback Ryan Mallett.
Mallett hands off to Hart. Hart finished the day with 149 rushing yards, putting him at #1 all-time in Michigan history for games with 100+ rushing yards.
Mallett throws for a first down.
The view from my seat in the third row (technically the fifth). There were 111,310 people in attendance on Saturday.
The Michigan offense in the huddle. Mallet and Hart are in there, as well as Michigan's top three receivers - Mario Manningham (86), Adrian Arrington (16) and Greg Mathews (13) - and one of, if not the, best offensive tackles in the country, Jake Long (77).
The cheerleaders...
Another shot of Manningham.
Nice, but oww...
The final score. Go Blue!!!

So, after a horrible start to the season, the Wolverines are now 2-2 and 1-0 in the Big Ten. Let's hope they can keep it up and grab the Big Ten Championship at the end of the season!
