Michigan/Sparty

:doh: You're right, I thought they were deeper than that. I had a few adult beverages which may have clouded my memory.

I still would've punted.

It sucks...of course. They appeared to have escaped with that game. State had several chances to take that game away from them in the second half. I felt comfortable for a moment when they made 9 but State answered back with the Pendleton play. It was butt-hole puckering, stomach ache-inducing the rest of the way.

Harbaugh brought it up during the week...State was at an advantage that they've dealt with close games this year. The shutout streak was great but they played weak teams that gave up by the end of the 3rd quarter. The one game Michigan faced a test...they lost to Utah.

In terms of the state of the program and the rivalry...I loved seeing a game with State matter again. The team is pretty much ahead of schedule in my view. They weren't supposed to be contending for the conference this quickly. I want to see what kind of coach Harbaugh is with a game on the road next Saturday. How do they regroup and respond...they really shouldn't lose another game before November 28.

Local news fail good for a chuckle...and GR is typically pro-Sparty.

Sure about that? Why don't you ask the other GR native who posts here what he thinks about that.

Okay...maybe they're more bandwagon-y. There's no disputing who the Detroit media favors though.

No doubt--UM.

Every media market in this state is pro-UM, except for Lansing/Mid-Michigan (duh). As for fan base, I'd say GR is at least 60/40 Michigan fans. Probably used to be closer to 70/30, but the kids growing up today don't know what it's like for UM to be the big dog in this state.

We could really use some clarification on this Shoalz. You aren't insinuating that the Detroit area media favors MSU, are you? Has it really come to this? UM fans accusing Detroit media of being in the tank for MSU?

Never thought I'd see the day. Unreal.

Love that guy with the CCHA patch on his UM hockey jersey.
