GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM) - Michigan and Michigan State met for the 110th time Saturday. 

Many people who couldn't make it to the Big House visited local bars or restaurants to catch the game instead.

It was wall-to-wall Wolverines and Spartans at The Score restaurant Saturday afternoon. Everybody WZZM 13 spoke wit was true to their team - no matter what the odds were. However some of them were also hoping a little luck would help.

"I'm here for the game," said Debbie Brooks. "It's always brought me luck for Michigan to win, and I really think they're going to pull it off today."

Brooks was right. Michigan got a late field goal and beat Michigan State, 12-10.
