Rooting Interest in this Weekend's Meteor Game: Staee vs Ohio
Who are you rooting for when Ohio visits Lil' Bro in East Lansing this Saturday (3:30pm, ABC)? As much as it pains me to (I guess it would either way) I'm cheering for Ohio. They're ineligible for the post-season, so they might as well give State a conference L and make our path to Indy potentially a little easier. Plus after last year's games against us and the NCAA sanctions on Ohio, State needs to be taken down a notch more than Ohio. Here's to an ugly game with the Buckeyes squeaking one out, hopefully on a deliciously heartbreaking Sparty NO!!!!

D.) Root for Michigan (ie: a MSU loss)

No doubt, it was a million times better than either of the first two options...
September 27th, 2012 at 10:32 PM ^
can recommend a good anesthetic for the game
September 27th, 2012 at 5:07 PM ^
Would it be feasible to hope for an MSU loss (because it helps us in the division) and then, as teams are preparing to either go home or, in Ohio's case, get on the bus, a meteor? As Ohio is ineligible this year anyway, I think we all win in this scenario.

I had to +1 this just for the "Staee" in the title. Also, I hate the Buckeyes more than I dislike Sparty but I hate the idea of Sparty being in the B1G Championship Game instead of us again more than I hate Ohio. Also, my little brother, is a Buckeye, and my ex-wife is a Sparty. I gotta go with little brother over Little Brother.

You guys are crazy, it is never acceptablet to root for Ohio, they are our biggest rival. We just need to hold up our end and beat State when we play head to head, the rest will take care of itself.

I'm not rooting for Ohio to win. I'm rooting for Sparty to lose. Preferably in a typical "SPARTY NO" type of fashion. MSU losing gets us closer to the Rose Bowl. I want them broken and dejected when they come to Ann Arbor, knowing that their season is over.
September 27th, 2012 at 5:16 PM ^
their D-bag coach, players and fans all need to be slapped down hard.
September 27th, 2012 at 5:33 PM ^
I really don't care. Michigan is winning the Big Ten either way.
September 27th, 2012 at 5:35 PM ^
But it is doubtful I'll watch the game . . . between my son's football game, and wifeday and all.
September 27th, 2012 at 5:42 PM ^
I know many more Spartans than Buckeye's and I even like some of them. Therefore I'll go with Sparty for this one weekend.
That said, there's never a bad time for a good, "Sparty, No!"

Trash tornado please sweep them both away.
The ohio by 1. Then drop the rest of the seasons games, BY LIKE 900 TO 10.

As a Columbus resident, it's not even a question. Go asteroid. Or State if we absolutely cannot have an asteroid strike.
September 27th, 2012 at 6:39 PM ^
i hope the teams are attacked by monkey ninjas and both teams lose

There is nothing of consequence going on in East Lansing this weekend.

That happened in a lot of OSU games two years ago.
September 27th, 2012 at 8:05 PM ^
I'm rooting for OSU. It will be satisfying to see Sparty to lose to ND, OSU, and Michigan this year. I'll worry about OSU another year.
An earlier post mentioned Dave Brandon. I'm hoping he's secretly interviewing for the Nebraska opening, so he can be closer to his vacation home in Arizona.
It would also give him the opportunity to mess with another long-standing uniform tradition, and they might benefit from a second mascot, more marketing gurus, and stadium advertising.

This is one of those games that no matter who wins I'll be pissed. But I'll be less pissed if MSU loses.

I guess I will have to route for Ohio since MSU is in the division and I just get the feeling that the staff at Ohio has more respect for Michigan than the staff at MSU. I have no issues with Ohio going 10-0 as long as they lose every year to Michigan. I loved watching the games in the mid 90's when it seemed like Michigan beat and ruined every season for Ohio (aaah, the glory days). As for MSU I hope they lose every week.

I could say I am rooting for a cholera outbreak in the stadium, but that would be unkind.
September 28th, 2012 at 11:45 AM ^
September 28th, 2012 at 12:18 PM ^
I will never root for them regardless of the opponent.
September 28th, 2012 at 12:51 PM ^
The divisions are stupid. period.
