Michigan, Michigan State or the Tigers ?

The Great Divide is a store in Mid-Michigan that specializes in two things, everything for the University of Michigan or the Michigan State fan.

"When we started this business it was Michigan." said Katherine Byl, co-owner of The Great Divide. "But Michigan State is just come on big time."

Now normally the Friday before the big game you have a couple of choices, you either wear your Michigan or your State shirts to work to support your team, but this year there might be a third option.

"I say the Tigers; my dad's been watching the Tigers for a very long time and he's pulled me along," said Dejuan Ferrell. "I love the Tigers, I'm a bigger baseball fan than college football. "

Others are looking at a more balanced look.

"I wear Michigan and maybe a Tiger hat, wear both, root for both of them." said Karla Phillpotts.

"My long-sleeve Michigan shirt underneath my Tigers short sleeve shirt. Everything's covered, got the Tigers hat, too," said Holly Haven.

The only thing left to say is, Go Blue, Go State and Go Tigers.
