EDIT: Penn State knocked off Indiana 2-1 to advance to meet Michigan Sunday

I'm pretty sure that a win would be Michigan's first big ten conference championship.

and I'm not sure George's Soccer, with locations in West Bloomfield and Troy, could cover the full sponsorship (especially soccer with the limtied stoppages in play for commercials)

That is all.

Soony Saad is unreal. What a talent.

I had some brief contact with M's soccer coach and founder Steve Burns back when he was captaining/spearheading the UM Soccer Club back in the late 80's. Can't say enough about what he's been able to do to bring his dream for a program to fruition with blood, sweat, guts and unwavering persistence. It's quite a story. I don't think the guy gets nearly enough recognition. It's one thing to be a good coach. Quite another to craft a DI program out of clay and now see it succeed. Kudos to him and the whole squad. Too legit to quit. Go Blue!

Does anyone know of anywhere online that I can watch the championship? I know it's a long shot but I can't get BigTen Network

A Big Ten title would be really awesome.
We need some more conquering heroes around here.
