From the title I thought this was a post about the early 80's TV mini-series.

Loved that show

That was my favorite show as a kid. No matter what, I watched V.

V and V: The Final Battle......greatest miniseries ever

Beat OSU

Meta: it's a downward caret, not the letter 'v'. Surprisingly, in this age of Unicode, it's still rendered using an SVG icon.

Remember, remember, the 5th of November, the Gunpowder Treason and plot…

I love that we care so little about MSU that there isn't even a thread for their game right now. In fact I just now learned that they're even playing a football game and it's halftime.
November 24th, 2023 at 9:03 PM ^
I’m pretty sure even most MSU fans are just ready for the season to be over. If it’s not about Urban Meyer coming to town they don’t want to hear about it.

They didn't even bother to paint the endzones ... which happens to contain part of their opponent's nickname:
Good coaches don't tend to want to go to programs run like this

If true, I'm excited to see more John Smith...
November 24th, 2023 at 9:13 PM ^
Weird coincidence, but that sounds like a really good hire for them.
November 24th, 2023 at 9:16 PM ^
He took a trash program and has them in the top 4 in the Pac 12 in 4-5 years. He is also in the "2nd rate" program in the state so knows all about what MSU will be to UM. They also have a fun offense and stout defense. Recruiting is middling but he probably has no NIL and they do less with more. Just held Washington to 22 points last week.
Think thats a great hire for MSU. UCLA is dumb not to get rid of Chip and hire this guy - he is from LA.
No judgement on what Oregon does to Oregon St tonight - personally have Oregon as a top 4 team in the country and NIL coming out their ears. Doubt more than 1-2 starters for Oregon State start for Oregon.
Hopefully their DC stays on as the new HC as he is pretty damn good too unlike their current guy.

MSU BoT will screw it up somehow.

To which he should say:
“THE KIDS ARE DEALING THEIR TAILS OFF AND THE TRUSTEES ARE SCREWING IT UP!

I also read that the Beaver AD's highest priority is to get him signed to a new contract. So this may just result in a huge pay raise for him to stay at his alma mater.

“Coach Smith and I have had ongoing conversations for more than a month regarding his future at Oregon State and our path forward for football specifically and our athletic department generally,” Barnes said in the statement. “He has embraced our short and long term plans. My No. 1 priority is providing him with a new contract and guaranteed compensation that will help continue the success of the football program that has benefitted Oregon State University and Beavers’ athletics.”

If they pull it off yes it’s a great hire. Home run really. Probably the best case scenario they could have hoped for.
November 24th, 2023 at 11:26 PM ^
I heard Oregon trolled Oregon State before tonight's game by showing Michigan State footage on their scoreboard.
November 24th, 2023 at 10:22 PM ^
You’re missing out! Sparty has now been outscored by OSU, PSU and UM by a score of 129 - 3. Add in Maryland and it’s 160 - 12.
November 24th, 2023 at 11:24 PM ^
Staee finished with 68 total yards. That's not even a single TD drive after fair catching a kick off.

Remember, remember the 10th of November
Big Ten treachery and plot
I know of no reason for
for the Big Ten treachery to ever be forgot!
Pettiti, Day and their companions
Did contrive and scheme
To blow up Michigan’s season
Based on spurious reason
May the crooked lot
Forever Rot.

Kudos to Brian for staying independent. Yes the site itself is a disaster, especially on mobile. But content is king! And no one comes close in the Michigan orbit.

I was anticipating a high-level breakdown on female anatomy and physiology.
