Essentials WHAT #2 Michigan (7-0) vs Michigan State (2-4) WHERE Spartan Stadium East Lansing, MI WHEN 7:30 Eastern THE LINE M –24 (Vegas) M –19 (Bill C) TELEVISION NBC PBP: Noah Eagle Color: Todd Blackledge TICKETS From $119. WEATHER sprinkles early light wind mid-40ss Overview It's the Great Revenge Game for Michigan State after… uh… a bunch of their players ganged up on a couple of Michigan cornerbacks and got suspended for long periods of time. Somehow the MSU fanbase has turned this into a black mark against Michigan, because Spartans Will. Unfortunately for green and white visions of a raucous, unhinged night game snakepit at Spartan Stadium, Mel Tucker executed the stupidest bag fumble in the history of bag fumbles and in the aftermath the program has traipsed from one rake to the next in a season of underlying competence overshadowed by giant pratfalls. Ticket prices have plummeted, enthusiasm is restricted to the fanciful idea that Urban Meyer is going to ride in on a white horse and fix everything, and half the stadium is likely to hit the bricks as soon as Michigan looks like Michigan and Michigan State looks like Michigan State. It would be advisable not to let MSU get any ideas, though. [AFTER THE JUMP: meh!]
