This is an instate rivalry game and Sparty's Super Bowl. MSU is on 4 game losing streak which has the fan base pinning for James Franklin. Michigan looks good at home and not so good on the road, even though this trip is just an hour north. This game never should be played at night and it is again. NBC should be showing something else and this game should kick a noon. Night game, big spread, MSU Super Bowl, and a chilly kick make this very upset worthy if Michigan doesn't pack their A game.
Dear Sherrone,
I know your familiar with this game and this team. There is a ton of hate in Sparty's heart against your program and team. You have the #1 QB recruit from the State of Michigan and there are a number of kids that weren't recruited by Michigan in Green and White on Saturday night. These kids know each other and they might be somewhat friendly off the field, on Saturday night they will be enemies.
Michigan has more talent but Sparty is playing for their season. They will create rings and other memorabilia if they win on Saturday night.. Michigan will have to be prepared for a team that will play as hard as they can to win this game. Expect fake punts, fake field goals, and a ton of 4th down attempts. The kitchen sink will be on the field in Spartan Stadium.
Bryce has to play clean and Michigan can't keep Sparty in the game by mistakes. Let MSU make the 15 yard personal foul penalties, make sure your team is above all the BS. I really hope Justice is healthy because he could really tip the game to the Wolverines favor with 200 yards on the ground.
I've been quiet on Wink this week as his unit played well against UW. Sparty has another very athletic QB who likes to run for 1st downs to keep drives alive. Chiles will have to have a career game but he played really well early last season in Ann Arbor. Our expectation is the defense plays the same way they did against UW and not against USC. Not sure what is going on in the secondary but let's get our first team unit back out there please.
Here is my advice, (thank you for taking it to heart last week). Spy Chiles, keep him in the pocket, get the best players back in the secondary, continue to throw to the TE's, let Justice and Jordan run free, protect against Tom Foolery from MSU, throw to McCulley and Marsh, don't commit dumb penalties, play clean, and stay above the noise. The best medicine is driving home with that ugly trophy.
Michigan 28 MSU 13

You can't jump on the wink bandwagon one week and off the next. Pick a side and go with it.
Why is the author always whining about a PRIME TIME kickoff? He sounds like a grumpy senior citizen that wakes up at dawn with nothing to do. Every school in the country would kill to have a prime time nationally televised game. Take your Gerital and relax, Gramps!
Screw night games. Noon is for college football.
Dear Mastermind: Everyone is entitled to their opinion on this board. You are a little harsh on the elderly .... but your day will come as a fellow "geezer" (it will be your turn in the barrel > from that old 70's joke). When I was 24 > Elvis died at 42 ..... I could not imagine being that old. 25 % of my high school classmates have bought it already. Girls in their 20"s used to check me out, now open doors for me (the ultimate humiliation). Just remember you will become "gramps" also..... if you are lucky. Age beats death any time ... good luck on your journey thru life.
Good point! Maybe Wink's favorite song should be Katy Perry's "hot then your cold" (something like that)
I like Rich Rod....I miss him. I wish he come back to coach UM....I like his offense....better than what we see now on the field. He needs to hire a good defensive coordinator....night are only good when two high ranked teams are playing...
Blue for life!!
You mean the “author”, the guy who runs the blog and shares his opinion on everything he writes here? That guy? I agree, he should write about your opinion. Ha.
Mastermind’s stupid post is rocket science compared to this post.
I'm off. He'll give you Jesse Minter a couple of times a season, and the rest of the time you're stuck with Don Brown
I like night games. During the day I have shit to do, plus noon is too early for me to start drinking. 4pm kickoff is acceptable, but 7:30 kick is primo drinking hour
and James Franklin is NEVER coming to E. Lansing. he'll have his choice of jobs. I think there could be as many as 8 or 9 openings
8 or 9 schools that will regret signing a lengthy contract! {{{LOL}}}
