Marching Band


12:45

The Michigan State marching band has taken the field following a nice performance by the Bulldogs marching band. Georgia fans clearly outnumber those from Michigan State, however the Spartan faithful do not disappoint. They are loud and proud...then again they are sitting right in front of the press box and the band is off to my right.

We are under 20 minutes to go before kickoff and you can feel the intensity level increasing in the stadium. I talked briefly with two members of the Detroit media, Bob Wojokowski (wojo) and Lynn Henning who I met a few months ago during spring training. Ironically, Lynn actually remembered me.

The Spartan marching band has completed their performance and now it's onto the rest of the pre-game entertainment and ceremonies. My prediction?

Georgia 35
MSU 17

Hold on a sec....there are fireworks happening now with the "spirit team" taking the field. Continual updates throughout the game. Quick nugget for you here. MSU is undefeated this year when they score first.
