OT: help needed, need triva questions

my work is doing a michigan/michigan state tailgate party on friday and i have been asked to come up with an activity that the entire staff can do. I'm going to do multiple choice triva questions, 5 for michigan and 5 for michigan state that pertain to past michigan/michigan state games only going back as far as 1990.

my problem is i can only think of 3 good questions to ask and i need at least 10.

so what i need help with is some questions to put on the hand out. so if any of you are willing to help please post your question and answer and i'll take the top 10. please remember i need michigan state questions also.
