In the past 17 years, there has been no question who the best field hockey team in the Big Ten was - Iowa. The Michigan volleyball team took to the road this past weekend with two goals. First, it wanted its first Big Ten victory of the year. Second, it looked to beat both Northwestern and Indiana in its continuing effort to move to the top echelon of the conference. It's the usual football Saturday scene, Big Ten campus, early October.
Fans line the sidewalks and tailgaters claim every corner.
Scalpers case the streets. It's windy and gray and chilly - football weather, no doubt about it. More than two hours before kickoff, the several-block radius surrounding Kinnick Stadium is alive with activity. The Wolverines, along with 12 other teams, played 18 holes each this past weekend at the Wolverines' home golf course. Thirty-six holes had originally been scheduled for Saturday, though.
