Photo Gallery: Are Michigan State Babies Cuter Than University of Michigan Babies?

It's that time of the year again. The leaves have changed, the chili is cooking in the slow cooker and the perennial question of "who's better Michigan or Michigan State?" has kicked into full gear.

The Michigan State Spartans, coming off a hard-fought 10-7 win against Ohio State Saturday, have a weekend to rest before taking on the Michigan Wolverines Oct. 15 in East Lansing. The Wolverines are undefeated so far, beating Minnesota Saturday 58-0 in a dominating fashion.

While the Spartans have dominated the rivalry (3-1) since Mark Dantonio took over in East Lansing in 2006; Michigan, under the direction of new head coach Brady Hoke, is looking to pay back the Spartans for last year's lopsided 34-17 loss.

Will the Wolverines be able to keep the Spartans from claiming their fourth consecutive victory? Or will the Spartans remain the top team in the state?

Patch wants to share the passion of this rivalry with a photo gallery of babies and children in Wolverines and Spartans gear. (And, yes, that includes your wet-nosed, waggy tailed, four-legged Spartan and Wolverine babies, too!).
