DOWN GOES SPARTY!

Purdue threw 50+ times and beats Sparty at home. This is great news because if MSU now loses to OSU and we win out then we go to Indy.
 

Just need OSU to take care of business and then we take care of business, including at home against OSU. It’s also good for us that MSU and OSU play the week before The Game. Hopefully OSU wins but gets worn down and we take them to the shed Nov 27!
 

lets gooooo!!

All we need to do is beat OSU, which ain't happening.  I like your optimism, but pump the brakes.  We're gonna finish 3rd in the Big Ten East again.

After beating Michigan last week I could believe the Mel is genius news stories making the rounds. I kept shaking my head and saying that a game manager QB darn near had a Michigan career day in East Lansing in a game in which Tucker had 2 weeks to prepare for. Had Michigan not shot itself in the foot so many times, what instead would be reported is the collapse of the MSU pass defense. Instead Tucker wins and he is a genius. 

Of course the next week Tucker had to go on the road and play a passing team, this time without having a bye week to prepare.

Yes the refs made questionable calls, yes Michigan should have been given the sack fumble TD. How many years YEARS have we been clamoring for RedZone scoring. How many runs right up the middle and downs burned. How many MILLIONS of dollars are they paying to not be able to handle tempo and still run a zone read where the QB doesn't pull??? I agree the referees were bad but it took Michigan's own incompetence to lose that game. The zebra just gave a little push.

It started with a bogus hold call on Anthony, ended with non call PI near end of game. In between a TD was taken away, the non catch by Sparty and the 2 pt conversion that wasn't. 20-24 point swing. Thank you Purdid.

If we have that 4 points AND NOTHING ELSE, Cade and company have 2 drives at the end of the 4th quarter where they're driving down the field for a game winning field goal, (and they were in field goal range on one of those drives) rather than having to score a touchdown.  Not to mention that Sparty would have been down by more than 16 in the 2nd half, and could have possibly checked out as the deficit would have been too great.

It's literally impossible to overstate how massive that call swung (among others) swung the game.  Seth himself had to stop tracking referee incidents because it was more than he knew how to adjust for (ie. it was unprecedented)

LMAO oh wow, look at the little snowflake here.  Sounds like somebody needs a hug.

Refs just missed an obvious late hit out of bounds on Michigan and didn't call it. 

Is is The Homie J gonna cry about that one too?

Uh yeah?  I complain about all bad ref mistakes, not just the ones that hurt us.  But nice try at a 'gotcha', however pitiful it was.

The Homie J only cries to make excuses for Michigan.

LOLOLOL I was all over this site last year calling for Harbaugh to be fired, because there were no excuses for that crap.  Honestly, attacking fellow fans like this is just embarassing, man.  Log off for a while, take a walk. Come back when you clear your head
