Sorry Republicans, but rumor has it that Barack Obama will make an appearance at the Michigan football game against Wisconsin on September 27th. This game already had a significant amount of buzz because Michael Phelps and all the Michigan Olympians who went to Beijing are being honored before the game. The first presidential debate is taking place the night before at University of Mississippi and Obama is reportedly coming to Michigan the day after, though the time and place have not been disclosed to the public.

Wisconsin is currently ranked highest in the Big Ten, 8th in the nation, after Ohio State got donkey punched by the Trojans. Wisconsin barely squeaked by Fresno St. on the road, winning 13-10 last week. I know that people are bent on the “Michigan sucks” theme for this season, but nothing really matters until the Big Ten season starts (unless you’re planning on winning the National Championship). If Michigan’s defense keeps P.J Hill limited on the ground, we can force Wisconsin to rely on the pass, and even though their quarterback is a senior, this is his first season as a regular starter. Maybe 110,000, Phelps and Obama is enough pressure to make him struggle. If Michigan can get to 21 points there’s a very good chance that we could walk away with a big upset and set the tone for the rest of the Big Ten season.
