See I too was there and thought it was closer to 50 than 60k. And MSU's was well attended for them. Their lower bowl seats 60,000 and it looked full outside of the ends of the end zone a. 48k seems about right.
What makes this interesting is some of the blinders you folks have on. You realize at one point, one of your posters was bragging about how the JH hire (apparently) stole some thunder away from the OSU natty & MSU cotton bowl wins.....and then went on to wishing SOMETHING ANYTHING would come up to overshadow this FF run? Just when i think you guys have hit rock-bottom, you go and dig a deeper hole.
You guys forget so soon, in 09 MSU had to get through Robert Morris (15), USC (10), Kansas (3), Louisville (overall 1), Uconn (1) en route to the title game. That is pretty close to the michigan run vs. South Dakota State (13), VCU (5), KAnsas (1), Florida (3), Syracuse (4), some might call it harder due to dispensing with two 1 seeds on their way to the championship game.
The last time Michigan was in a title game before 13 was 1989 where they fought through Mighty Xavier, South Alabama, Virgina, and Seton Hall to get to the title. And even then there was a lot of smoke about pay-for-play that couldn't be verified.
Just give credit where it is due, don't whine and complain about a hall of fame coach getting lucky breaks every year. When it's a seemingly yearly occurance, the simplest solution is that he is just fielding great teams instead of being part of some vast NCAA conspiracy.
