We've played MSU in hoops nearly every year, I believe.  At least it feels that way.  Seem to fall short every time, but alas, that's just basketball.
I believe theyve played twice in the regular season, one home and home.  I think yes MSU won both, plus obviously in a national title game.  MSU also beat them once in a Citrus Bowl when Spurrier was there.  Maybe Florida won once in baseball or some other sport the best players don't play at all in.  Big win today over Michigans backups to finally end an indefinite losing streak against the state.

Funny stuff OrangutanMan.

Those players sitting out definitely hurt the continuity of the defense. 

Can't stand how these guys are during bowl season anymore.  Being a fan of all CFB, when you COMMIT to a team, you should COMMIT for it all.

I was at that Citrus Bowl, I'll never forget it.

Pathetic showing in a bowl game after a loss to OSU. Again. 

Harbaugh is on the hot seat imo. If the same old same old happens in 2019, he’s done. I really can’t see him surviving into 2020 if it’s just more of the same old bullshit. 

He needs to fire Pep Hamilton and overhaul the entire coaching staff and give up control of the offense. IF he doesn’t, he’s just signing his own death warrant.

Makes me wonder how in the world he owned USC.  The Stanford teams he coached weren't half as talented as this Michigan team.
And I also think this is partly an indictment of how utterly mediocre the PAC is.
That was a long time ago. Nearly a decade ago.
The college game has changed drastically, evolved to something different. 
You either adapt and thrive or you stay stuck in your ways, be a stubborn asshole and fall to the wayside and slip into mediocrity. Look at Saban, he adapted drastically and just kept winning championships. Great example of adapting and thriving. Now look at Jim. Great example of the other one. 
Jim needs to go back to the NFL. The college game has passed him by. He’s not innovative enough for it. He needs to go to the league where everyone runs the same shit and all the players are professionals who only focus on football and don’t have things like school that get in the way.

He also needs to create a culture in which the kids he has on his team WANT TO PLAY FOOTBALL FOR THEIR TEAM and not sit out FOR THEMSELVES.
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

I don’t think you get blown out like that because 4 or 5 staters sit out.
You get blown out because the coaching sucks and the players weren’t ready or up for the game and when the going gets tough the players just say f it and quit.
If Jim wouldn’t have shit the bed so epically vs Ohio State and actually won the OSU game his team was likely in the playoff and not one kid would’ve sat that out.
Notice how no NFL draft prospects from the playoff teams sat out?

Michigan has ended the year on a 2+ game losing streak in 9 of the past 15 seasons.

Jim Cooper. 
Or
John Harbaugh.
He’s definitely trending in that direction. Hopefully we get our Tressell to reverse the trend after Jim is gone and then after the next guy gets fired for a scandal we can hopefully fall assbackwards into one of the greatest college coaches ever to replace the fired disgraced coach. 
Ohio State got lucky as shit with those two hires back to back man.

You guys are harsh about the players sitting out not mattering.  They were starters for a reason.  #1 DL, #1 LB, and #1 RB is the same as tying a hand behind your back for a boxing match.  Yes, the next man up should fill the void, but backups are backups for a reason.

Hell, OSU has a streak of coaching home runs going back decades.  Their worst hire still had a crazy good record and would have still made the CFP with a legit shot to win a national title in a couple 10-1 years that ended with an upset loss to UM

...to say nothing of a starting OL when playing against that defensive line. 
I was very, very surprised to hear of the four guys sitting out. That kind of thing is what you'd expect from SC or Texas A&M, not Michigan. It raises an eyebrow about the goings-on behind the scenes in Ann Arbor.
