For more information on this story contact:
NOVEMBER 4, 2004 -- The much-anticipated Bash at the Big House kicks off at 1 p.m. this Saturday at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, with the unbeaten football Huskies taking on Grand Valley State.
This will be the first NCAA Division II game at the Big House in more than 20 years, and organizers hope to beat the attendance record established Sept. 29, 1979, during a game between Pennsylvania teams Shippensburg and Slippery Rock.
With last week's win over Saginaw Valley State, Michigan Tech is 9-0 and, for the first time, champion of the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. Whatever the outcome Saturday, the football Huskies could host their inaugural NCAA playoff game at Sherman Field.
Michigan Tech and several other universities also also hope to attract thousands of area youth to the Michigan YES! Expo Saturday at the Crisler Arena, next door to Michigan Stadium. The goal is to generate interest among Michigan's high school and middle school students in careers in science, technology and engineering.
Michigan Tech’s volleyball team will also play Grand Valley State on Saturday, at 5 p.m. at Pioneer High School.
Michigan Tech's men's basketball team will go up against Michigan the day after Bash at the Big House--Sunday, Nov. 7, at 2 p.m. in Crisler Arena. |
