Sparty is a 14.5 point underdog in this Noon game on Fox.  Wondering what Dantonio will have to say about this year's version of the rivalry.  As always its guaranteed to be the nastiest game of the year for these two.

The better team almost always wins this game (the 2001 game was the last big upset, and we all know how that happened). That said, these games tend to be closer than they should be, especially when Michigan wins.

Sparty does usually play their best game in this one, though. However, after last weekend and the way their whole season has gone, I think it's fair to question how motivated they'll be. They've also been dominated in all 3 games against top opponents this year, even moreso in Columbus and Madison than at home against Penn State.

Matchup-wise, Michigan's defense should be dominant considering they've shut down comparable to better offenses (eg. Notre Dame and Iowa), and they dominated this game last year, too, and now the losses from last year's defense aren't really that apparent with the emergence of Paye, McGrone, Thomas, and Hutchinson.... Offensively, it's clear that the Sparty defense isn't as good any more. Hopefully the passing game will be more aggressive downfield, but that's been frustratingly infrequent. As good as Charbonnet and Haskins have been of late, I'm not sure Michigan will be able to dominate on the ground in this game..... Of course, turnovers will have a big impact, as always, and Michigan has been better at not committing them along with forcing them of late..... Michigan's special teams also appear to be at least somewhat better.

I'll say 31-7.

Charles Rogers passed away. Only 38

That botched punt ending is one of my favorite memories of a play I didn't see or hear live.  I was in the john at Notre Dame Stadium, before the USC at ND game, and of course everybody's trying to follow this game on their phones, and the service is of course spotty at best, not to mention the Gameplay apps on these sites were all confused as #$%@ by what happened.   

I heard all kinds of utterances.  "Michigan's punting, its over,"  "There's some kind of delay."   "Wait, they ran back the punt"  "No, it was blocked out of bounds."  "Michigan St won!.......How?"    "Was there a flag?"   "It's under review?"   This tweet says it was a TD, but they didn't say how."  "Doesn't anyone have headphones anymore?"

3rd different thread it's been posted in today.

Sad thing is, he was basically kicked out of the NFL for weed, and died from an addiction he developed from painkillers the league passed out like candy.

North Dallas Forty 40 yrs ago was loosely based on this PR Hypocrisy - great movie

That would be a shocker prolly in line Harbaugh's Standford Team taking down Pete Carrol's Trojan war machine as a 41 point Dog

Yeah it would!

They'd be all like
