Nevertheless, while other Union Commanders were failing, grant had climbed steadily up the military ladder with resounding victories, stretching from fort henry in 1862, through vicksburg to Missionary Ridge in 1863. He was clearly the norths man of the hour. When lincoln ordered an east early in 1864 to take command of all federal forces.

His team came in with supreme confidence. We went to both places. I think both sides gave off an air that they thought theyd win this game but i thought particularly here in east lansing. The spartans brought a little swagger in. Off a beatdown of michigan on this field kirk a lot of that has to do with how they played in indianapolis and then carried it over to the rose bowl.
