A House Divided

Photograph was taken at Potbelly Sandwich Shop located at 42477 Ford Road, in Canton. 

     When you grow up in the State of Michigan you typically become a fan of either the University of Michigan Wolverines, or the Michigan State University Spartans.  A house divided refers to a home, or a family that includes fans of both teams.  You can usually throw out the team records when interstate rivals come together.  Many fans, and alumni find more satisfaction when the other team loses, then they do when their team wins.  The University of Michigan football team will host Michigan State University on Saturday, November 16th, 2019 (TBA).
     The Mitten State also features several other interstate collegiate rivalries including Central Michigan University vs. Western Michigan University, Grand Valley State University vs. Saginaw Valley State University, and Hillsdale College vs. Northwood University.  New rivalries will develop as several local colleges, and universities continue to expand their athletic programs to include the sport of football.
