While I usually don't promote articles, I saw fit to promote this one. I feel people are not paying attention to what this article is about. They probably should. No matter if you are a fan of Florida or LSU, this is something you need to remember going into tomorrow night.

The Michigan/Notre Dame game has the feel once again of a typical rivalry game. Both teams look good last week, but see what the Irish NEED to do in order to be successful for a second Saturday in a row. Don't be shy, even you Wolverines!

Hey!

Would you mind checking out my latest article? It talks about the 2009 super sophomores for the Ohio State buckeyes! If you're not a buckeye fan, it's an interesting read and you could extend you're knowledge on college football. Thanks!
