Record for 2nd year coaches against Sparty
History will be on Michigan's side this weekend when they travel up to East Lansing to try and continue their undefeated season. Since 1900, only one Michigan coach has lost to "Little Brother", achieving a record of 7-1-1. Here is proof of Michigan's dominance in yet another category over MSU.
Fielding Yost: 11-0 overall, 119-0 W against MSU
Tad Wieman: 3-4-1 overall, 3-0 W against MSU
Harry Kipke: 8-0-1 overall, 0-0 Tie against MSU
Herbert Crisler: 6-2 overall, 26-13 W against MSU
Bennie Oosterbaan: 6-2-1 overall, 7-3 W against MSU
Bump Elliot: 5-4 overall, 24-17 L against MSU
Bo Schembechler: 9-1 overall, 34-20 W against MSU
Gary Moeller: 10-2 overall, 45-28 W against MSU
Lloyd Carr: 8-4 overall, 45-29 W against MSU
So after looking at the overall records then what happened against Sparty, for the most part we had good overall records and beat them, which like, duh, we are the winningest program ever. So like i said, 7-1-1 in Michigan coaches 2nd season. Obviously since this is a rivalry and not 1910, this is not going to make a difference, but just another thing to brag about to your State friends.

With Coach Rod losing his innaugural game against Sparty last year, (and hearing about first-year head coaches' futility), I assumed this was the next obvious stat to look at.
Nice work.

As I've said before, I hope the defense plays well enough for this to be an embarrassing game for Sparty. Amazing how all that "clASS of the state" stuff has disappeared so quickly...

The guys now have something to shoot for. Agree with jsquigg, it is time to sweep the leg this week.

...all lost their first game vs. Sparty and went on to dominate them for the rest of their careers. I'm not worried about RichRod.

..in EL after the game. That way, the Spartan fans can say they weren't crying about the game, but because the tear gas got in their eyes.

I wish they all could be Fielding Yost games... "Fielding Yost: 11-0 overall, 119-0 W against MSU".
