Redshirt freshman Steve Hutchinson has only been a member of the Michigan football team for two seasons, but he understands the importance of the Wolverines' first trip to the Rose Bowl since the 1992 season.
Four-straight four-loss seasons have kept the Wolverines out of the Rose Bowl since 1993. This season's trip to Pasadena, where the top-ranked Wolverines (8-0 Big Ten, 11-0 overall) will face No. 7 Washington State (7-1 Pac-10, 10-1 overall), carries more weight than usual with a national title hanging in the balance.

The Michigan basketball team late Monday night waited to take off from the local Peoria, Ill., airport after its 63-58 disappointing loss to Bradley.
The team's plane had to be de-iced, and waited in a line of planes that needed the same wintry procedures. Sitting in a cold bus while this was going on, the Wolverines were delayed from heading back to Ann Arbor, having played their second game in three days during a four-game, eight-day stretch.'M' faces 2 toughies

Winter vacation is looming and nothing would give the Michigan wrestling team a better holiday feeling than a victory over their arch-rivals at Michigan State.
How convenient is it then, for the Wolverines, that the Spartans enter Cliff Keen Arena tonight for the first of two meetings between the conference foes? It will be the first dual meet of the season for the Wolverines, and they are itching for a victory.
