And adding insult to injury.....MSU up 17-0 on NW.
November 28th, 2020 at 4:24 PM ^
Lol stop. MSU is still terrible. Michigan being bad doesn't change that
November 28th, 2020 at 4:27 PM ^
MSU is bad. Michigan is terrible* FTFY
November 28th, 2020 at 4:34 PM ^
No, you “Lol stop”
If we played NW they’d beat us by at least 3 TDs.
Stop trying to minimize this shit. MSU, right now, is a clearly better team compared to us. That is utterly indefensible.
November 28th, 2020 at 4:39 PM ^
No u
We already lost to them. Did you need any more convincing?
November 28th, 2020 at 8:49 PM ^
It more a question of direction. UM appears to be getting worse the longer Harbs is here. MSU appears to be improving. Tucker in his first year has beaten UM and now a top ten team.
November 29th, 2020 at 12:02 AM ^
MSU is mostly bad with moments of pseudo-competence. I don’t see us moving in any particular “direction” at all right now, FWIW.
You may be overstating the, um, state... of State.
Guys I haven’t watched you enough this year to know if Harbaugh is truly the clown I like to assume he is, but it’s a weird year in general to be making bigger picture calls based on the league, MSU beating “top ten” Northwestern, etc.
November 28th, 2020 at 10:24 PM ^
If terrible is wrong, I don't wanna be right.
November 29th, 2020 at 12:03 AM ^
LOL, MSU is improving. We are not.
Joke is on us.
November 28th, 2020 at 4:28 PM ^
I guess this is giving up
/blink182
November 28th, 2020 at 4:35 PM ^
Wouldn't this be in favor of Michigan? By saying that our worst loss is actually to a team that's apparently three scores better than a "top ten" nw team?
This year is weird and I have no idea about anything anymore
November 28th, 2020 at 4:38 PM ^
Can this day get any worse??
November 28th, 2020 at 7:43 PM ^
The Lions could have kept Patricia.
November 28th, 2020 at 4:42 PM ^
This not an insult to injury. MSU is a better team than we are, they beat us on our own field and if they win today, their trajectory will be higher than ours.
No need to mince words. We’re a very bad team with even worse leadership. 2020 has been all about adapting to change but changes comes from within. Make it happen, Warde.
November 28th, 2020 at 7:41 PM ^
I'd take the fight Sparty has in them any time for this Michigan team.
November 28th, 2020 at 4:43 PM ^
Reverse jinx?
November 28th, 2020 at 4:44 PM ^
November 28th, 2020 at 5:23 PM ^
Probably a better comparison is when our HOF coach also left the cupboards bare. Tuckers year is comparable to RR’s first. Terrible incoming recruiting class with a lot of holes on the team. RR probably still had it worse though.
November 28th, 2020 at 8:35 PM ^
Live in the now.
November 28th, 2020 at 11:22 PM ^
Harbaugh had 11 future pros on that first team, and Tucker has beaten 2 top 15 teams as an underdog. The way you're putting lipstick on a pig, you should be a Mary Kay salesperson.
November 28th, 2020 at 4:45 PM ^
Harbaugh beat Rutgers, something Tucker failed to do. - It’s just more proof that this season is a farce.
November 28th, 2020 at 5:01 PM ^
In one season Michigan state has turned the perception of the superior program on their side and they only have one win. More reason to fire harbaugh. Why is he not fired yet???
November 28th, 2020 at 5:16 PM ^
Michigan Football = Fucking Pathetic
November 28th, 2020 at 6:10 PM ^
Who cares? That’s not where the focus should be. Obsessing about MSU is lame. They obsess about UM and we laugh at them for it. Except for OSU the Big 10 is a toss up. And we’ve been saying that for years. Time to go get the guy that helped build OSU into what they are right now. What UM is waiting for I have no idea
November 29th, 2020 at 7:38 AM ^
Who is this guy?
November 28th, 2020 at 6:10 PM ^
Man I remember laughing at Tennessee and Texas earlier this year... but we’re worse than both those teams.
November 28th, 2020 at 6:12 PM ^
Not anymore.
November 28th, 2020 at 6:13 PM ^
20-17
November 28th, 2020 at 6:24 PM ^
Would staee losing make you feel better? I enjoy schadenfreude as much as the next guy, but cheering because your second (or third) rival is almost as bad as you comes off as a little . . . Little brother-ish, no?
November 28th, 2020 at 6:52 PM ^
Staee losing makes me feel better whether we’re no. 1 or if we suck. Something about them I just don’t like.
November 28th, 2020 at 6:26 PM ^
It's depressing to see how absolutely awful Lombardi is at quarterbacking, then remembering how amazing we made him look.
November 28th, 2020 at 6:29 PM ^
Win or lose they are farther ahead in there first year of a rebuild then us in our 6 year of harbaugh! Wtf
November 28th, 2020 at 6:40 PM ^
MSU wins this game. Book it. Tucker already has more signature wins than Harbaugh.
November 28th, 2020 at 6:49 PM ^
I just hate the fact that we lost to this guy.
November 28th, 2020 at 7:07 PM ^
Don Brown coaching the NW defense? MSU runs the same play every time they need a big play or first down and NW gets caught off guard every time.
November 28th, 2020 at 7:08 PM ^
The only thing this game proves is that Northwestern isn't any good. They can't/aren't trying to score so all you have to do is be reasonably competent on offense and you're in a FG game. You get to 30 against them and it's over. They're a rich mans Michigan.
November 28th, 2020 at 7:10 PM ^
Actually, I kind of like the idea of NW losing to a crap team, OSU missing enough games that they don't win the B1G, and whatever other chaos we can get. Then in the future, we can pretend all of this never happened and call it "the COVID year."
November 28th, 2020 at 7:18 PM ^
At least the Lions fired Quinntricia.
November 28th, 2020 at 7:22 PM ^
MSU won, what exactly that means.....year 1 coach of 3 star players beats teams they should not.
Better not hear any Quattro, Monkeyfire crap all week.
November 28th, 2020 at 7:40 PM ^
Mel Tucker has more signature wins in one season than Harbaugh has had in six.
For all the shit talking we gave to MSU and Mel Tucker this off-season, Michigan has once again been served a huge, unpleasant, but well-deserved serving of humble pie. Michigan football has been all talk, no walk for the last 10 years.
November 28th, 2020 at 7:52 PM ^
Tucker has wins as a 23 point and a 13 point underdog in his 5 games at MSU. Harbaugh has zero wins as an underdog at Michigan in 6 seasons. They also have the same number of top 10 wins.
November 28th, 2020 at 8:15 PM ^
The Dantonio culture and mindset is alive and well in East Lansing. Michigan is in serious trouble of having MSU completely retake control of this rivalry, once again, for the next 5-10 years.
November 28th, 2020 at 8:40 PM ^
One more insult: Rutgers won today at Purdue 37-30.
Rutgers will look back at their opportunities to win their previous two games after blowing leads against Illinois (losing 23-20 on a field goal with three seconds to play) and Michigan (losing 48-42 in triple overtime) and think that they might've been 4-2, sitting in third place in the Big Ten East and possibly heading to a bowl game. Instead, they're last in the Big Ten East with a 1-3 division record and if Michigan beats Maryland next week, they will have to beat both Penn State and Maryland in their final two games to finish out of last place in the division and ahead of Michigan.
November 28th, 2020 at 8:55 PM ^
Michigan State’s defensive backs stole the show....
November 28th, 2020 at 11:40 PM ^
Brown is a stud
November 28th, 2020 at 9:20 PM ^
And just flipped to the BtN, MSU basketball blowing Notre Dame out. Fuck this day.
November 29th, 2020 at 12:26 PM ^
I'm fine with the basketball team and how the season should play out. Howard had them ready to play, and so far the new recruits and transfers are paying dividends. Excellent recruiting and player development. This team is young but dangerous. Refreshing.
And yeah, I think they'll be competitive with MSU this year.
