Vadgers invade E. Lansing

Y'ALL NEED TO HIDE YA CHEESE, HIDE YA OBESE WOMEN
CUZ THEY BE EATIN ERRBODY OUT HERE

Alright, Goobs. I anticipate a good game on Saturday. I understand Wisco gets the bulk of its receiving corps back from injury for this one. Good, because I don't want any excuses.

John Clay is a fat fuck. I'm much more worried about Tolzien and co., especially UW's o-line which can protect like a mother. Doesn't bode well for MSU since their main weakness is a pass rush. On the flip side you guys seem to struggle a little bit against the pass, and MSU will look to get its play action game going.

I expect another high scoring affair. Hopefully it comes down once again to the sideline brilliance of Brett Bielema. If so, I like MSU's chances.

MSU 34
Wisconsin 31

It looks to me that this team has all of the hallmarks of a typical Bielema team. They play to the level of their competition. So even though we’ll be playing a fairly middling team in MSU, I expect the game to be very close.

I think this game will be huge in terms of defining their season. They have enough talent to compete for the conference championship. If they win decisively on the road this Saturday, they stand a good chance of winning all the games they should win, and a split with tOSU and the Cockeyes would put them at 11-1 and probably headed to a BCS bowl game. If they lose to MSU I see them finishing 8-4.

How is MSU on special teams? UW has struggled in that area ever since Bielema took over (he personally oversaw special teams himself until this season). Supposedly a number of starters have volunteered to play on kick coverage teams.

Optimistically, I’ll go with:

UW 34
MSU 24

This could be a letdown game for either team, since both are coming off huge wins last week.

[Goober McTuber]

Badgers are coming off a blowout, not a huge win. A Big 10 team cannot possibly have a huge win against a 1-AA team

Special teams and running the ball have been the clear strengths. They've got a real dangerous return man in Keshawn Martin. FG kicker is young and untested but hasn't missed anything yet. Bates is probably the best punter in the conference. Coverage units are solid. Only real weakness is they don't have a guy that can boom it on kickoffs.

Fuck.

why bother breaking this game down? i'd say hands down the most schizo game year in, year out in the big ten.

[indyfrisco]

Cripple fight.

MSU - 4
Wishconshin - 2

Maybe a cripple fight in the Big 10, but in the SEC, that's just smashmouth defensive football (and high scoring at that!).

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

The Spartans are always tough to figure...at least for me.

I took a chance on 'em in this game...them being at home is the only reason.

For me when looking at this game it's moreso about UW. Bielema struggles on the road. Something like 1-7 vs ranked teams.

I dunno. A win by the Wolverines in a rematch between Michigan and Appalachian State?

Nope, UM got that taste out of thier mouthes in the bowl game that year by beating Florida.

Did they ever get Dennis Dixon's jizz stains out of the Big House drapes after he wiped his cock on them on his way out?


It doesn't matter how badly MSU sucks in any given year, it seems like any of their geographical rivals that travel to E Lansing have their hands full. They seem to really enjoy a home field advantage.

[Mace]

Props to the Spartans and a tough loss for Wisky. Don't worry, Goobs, you might be able to sneak out a conference win against your long time rival Gophers.

[Screw_Michigan]

Which Gophers? What a schizo team they are!

How are they schizo? They just flat-out suck.

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

3 turnovers for MSU in the first half and they took a 10 point lead into halftime. MSU basically shut down UW's passing game, which came out of left field. They literally haven't fielded a decent secondary since the Nick Saban days. Props to UW on a fun, hard fought game.

My UW alum friend said the exact same thing today. Rack MSU.

Or maybe 1-8. Props to Sparty.
