I'm taking credit for this one. I think my post featuring Spartan dancer Janelle last week was the little push Sparty needed to knock off in-state rival Michigan. Not that you need a whole lot of extrinsic motivation to beat your most hated rival, but every little bit counts.
On a side note, I can't believe I just used the term "extrinsic motivation" on a blog about college cheerleaders. I promise to never do that again!
