Great to see Jake on the call! He's movin' on up. Even if his name isn't Jefferson.
November 5th, 2022 at 1:07 PM ^
Well, Rutgers is on the east side.
November 5th, 2022 at 11:05 AM ^
Anyone else besides me looking forward to Illinois completely dominating State this afternoon? Tuck has no chance in this game. He's going to lose by double digits, AGAIN!
November 5th, 2022 at 11:17 AM ^
My 87 y.o. dad, a 1955 Michigan alum, always says "nothing good happens when the farmers win" ('farmers' refers to MSU). Thankfully we won't have to worry about that today--b/c Illinois is going to beat them soundly. Plus the fact that the MSU community writ large is in denial about how broken their program is...meaning that they have many more beatdowns to come in the future.
November 5th, 2022 at 11:24 AM ^
It was unreal how much I saw about "Michigan St is pursuing Dante Moore" on twitter this week. That is denial! It's surreal to me for anyone to think Dante Moore wold flip to that mess at State. State trying to medicate itself with that idea.

Regardless of a huge NIL deal, he isn’t going there
November 5th, 2022 at 11:24 AM ^
Don't underestimate State's ability to recognize that beating Illinois hurts us, therefore play like it's the title game.
November 5th, 2022 at 11:28 AM ^
State is going to get CRUSHED by Illinois. They have no chance. Illinois is flying high right now. And State is a bad team.
November 5th, 2022 at 12:18 PM ^
Illinois is flying high!! Like an eagle!!
November 5th, 2022 at 5:18 PM ^
There will be some regrets on these takes.
November 5th, 2022 at 11:54 AM ^
I just hope Bert has told all his players that after they get done kicking the shit out of MSU they all need to go apologize to them for winning and be really nice to them and console them. Plus give them like 30 minutes to get into the locker room.
November 5th, 2022 at 11:27 AM ^
A BIG Butt telecast. I cannot lie. I like it
November 5th, 2022 at 11:38 AM ^
I love this too, but others aren't so happy. You see, some other fans play that hard role, and tell you that Jake Butt ain't gold. So they toss him, and leave him, and I pull up quick to retrieve him.
November 5th, 2022 at 11:31 AM ^
Minor gripe: I really don't like it when we play at night. Don't the networks realize that my entire day is predicated on and wrapped around the Michigan game? And that my patience runs thin? And and that my bedtime is around 8:30pm and we're switching off daylight savings which means I'll be up at 3:30am for no good reason anyway? First place (in the B1G) problems, I know, cry me a river!
November 5th, 2022 at 11:41 AM ^
It's gonna be okay, I promise
November 5th, 2022 at 12:02 PM ^
I'll accept your reassurance but ONLY because you promise.
November 5th, 2022 at 12:00 PM ^
I'm worried about being worn out from laughter during the Illinois game.
November 5th, 2022 at 11:45 AM ^
Michigan St has lost a lot of players by suspension. They were a bad team to begin with. Worse now. They are going to get crushed today. It's at Illinois. Illinois is flying high right now. They are favored by 16. They will likely win by more than that.
This is how Illinois is feeling now:
BTW, did anyone besides me see this bizarre video about the Michigan St suspensions? I suppose it was already posted here this past week. You can't, I mean really can't, make these things up.
November 5th, 2022 at 11:56 AM ^
One of Sparty’s fundamental coping mechanisms is that they are simply losing a PR war and would be vindicated if the truth could only get out. It beggars belief, but it’s evergreen.
November 5th, 2022 at 12:44 PM ^
"The Blue Wall" is getting up there with black helicopters and the Clintons sodomizing pandas in the MSU pantheon. And I'm kinda here for it.
November 5th, 2022 at 12:04 PM ^
A poem:
"PR"?!
OMG
Bizarre.
Stae-ee?!
November 5th, 2022 at 6:07 PM ^
Except the weather might be a wildcard. Granted, MSU usually saves all its BS for our game, but I think they'll take it in any game this season.
November 5th, 2022 at 11:49 AM ^
7:40 is a stupid start time.
November 5th, 2022 at 12:44 PM ^
That's the Woverine Historian we know and love!
November 5th, 2022 at 11:49 AM ^
The wind at Northwestern
November 5th, 2022 at 12:05 PM ^
So you're sayin' there's a chance.
November 5th, 2022 at 11:51 AM ^
I like Jake Butt and I can not lie. And those other announcers can’t deny.
November 5th, 2022 at 12:49 PM ^
But what about the "annoucing" crew?
November 5th, 2022 at 12:39 PM ^
I still like Butt.
November 5th, 2022 at 12:49 PM ^
Ohio St can definitely be ran on. I like how Northwestern is keeping them honest with some pass plays and quarterback keepers in there. This seeing quarter will be interesting going against the wind and seeing how their defense stacks up against the Ohio St pass offense
