Title: #25 Michigan (3-1, 5-2) at Michigan State (0-4, 3-4) Game Week

Can't recall this game ever being more blah.  Maybe 2012, but after 4 straight losses, a mid-UM actually sort of cared this year.  I've heard a couple MSU fans say they hope to lose, because they don't want a meaningless win to save Johnathan Smith.

This used to be a game you could count on MSU playing over their head.  It's been a while since that was true.  2017 is probably the lone example in the last 25 years.  Over the past 25 years I'd say the better team has won 24 of 25.  It's actually been largely uninteresting as far as upsets go.

Might be closeish for a half, but that's about it

Michigan 31, Michigan State 18

One of my favorite rivalries though Sparta the last few campaigns has fell behind because fall off in coaching thus recruiting. Justice Haynes if he can grind it out and move the chains might be a long day.On the other hand that wr Kelly for MSU is averging 15 ypc and if Chiles can evade M*s pressure he'll find him.It's prolly going to be a 12-15 pt M* win but if Sparta can keep chippy with a hopefully rabid crowd anything is possible - this is their season right here

That literally might be the last upset in this series, give or take 2017

Yeah, I guess this one technically wasn't an upset.

Kinda felt like one though.

This past Saturday was the 10th anniversary of both the Michigan surrender cobra and Minnesota's first win over Nebraska since the primordial ooze era of college football. 

It was a good day.
