Bucks play Sparty this Saturday in Columbus. Neither has really gotten off to the kind of start that they were hoping for this season.
What do you all think? Which of our rivals is going to get the win, and which is going to be exposed with a poor record to start the year?
At this point I am going to say that the MSU D can handle Braxton Miller, but I am definitely open to being swayed . . .
divisions
No problem for me.
My head tells me to root for OSU to put a big L on Sparty's record.
And my heart (which is working much better than Dantonio's) tells me the exact same thing.
I agree with this.
I agree with this. In a typical year (which means most years more than three years ago), I would usually want Sparty to knock off the Buckeyes. But whenever Sparty is feeling too full of himself, I want anyone to put them back in their place.
I don't know how to deal with the division thing -- go with my heart or my head. This year, there is no difference.
Go Bucks. Arghhh.
Still Can't root for Ohio
Never will be able to.
My prediction
Loser gets Pittman!
Screw both. I hope the game
Screw both. I hope the game gets 7 weather delays and ends with a score of 3-2.

Who wins ? Who Cares !
Since we play both teams down the road, I really don't care about this game at all.
If you looking to "back into" a division title, you are looking in the wrong direction. Beat the teams we play & let whatever happens, happen.
Go Blue!

Seems like a stretch to classify wanting your division rival to lose their first game is tantamont to "backing into a championship". I see nothing wrong with wanting your division rivals to lose to increase your odds/wiggle room. Should we only accept division titles if we are undefeated in conference? Sounds like you would say yes, because otherwise by definition, your division rivals would have had to also lose and thus you would have "backed into" the title.

Hoke
I think Hoke has changed the tide on the rivalry. Hell people in Ohio are starting to believe him. Never in a million years I would have thought that. Selling Michigan jerseys is a good start.

This is one game where no one team can gain my support. Although a strong urge within me hopes (forgive me Bo) MSU wins BUT only because Ohio State is in such dismay right now. My hatred for State will always be strong. My hatred for tOSU will always be stronger...
We hate Michigan State. We don't like Penn State too. We don't care for Minnesota, Wisconsin or Notre Dame but we all hate O-S-U.

Yeah
I'd like to see OSU win. It hates me to say that, but it helps us out in our division. Also, I have to hear the shit of way more state fans than OSU fans on a daily basis, so seeing MSU lose is always a little sweeter.
That being said, I think MSU wins.

Interesting take. I was leaning towards a sparty win but I don't associate with any Ohio fans. Maybe the earth will just open up and swallow both teams and then everyone wins.

I'm on board with that, but I'd like to see something classically Sparty happen that opens the door for Ohio. MSU implusion where they blow a big lead, MSU has a silly penalty (too many men on the field?) on 4 and 4 that gives Ohio a first down in a key moment after it looks like they were stopped...

Sparty needs to be put in their place. I want them to go 5-7 this year, miss a bowl, and spend the next 20 years talking about the good old days when they beat U-M three times in a row.

Also, can you imagine how insufferable Sparty fans would be with a win over OSU?

Dunno. It will be low scoring. OSU will destroy MSU's O-line, and MSU's D will handle Miller and the OSU's skilled positions. I think I'll give the edge to OSU because this will be the first time any MSU player sets foot in the horseshoe.
hmmmmmm....
Bucks by 17 at least. Book it.
Sparty's O-Line will get destroyed by that D-Line and Miller will continue to run the same 5 plays they ran vs. Colorado.

Bucks win
4-2. I like the three safeties in this game.
My rooting interest is for
My rooting interest is for the game to be cancelled and somehow that counts as a loss to both teams. I can dream, can't I?
In terms of who will win, I dont see MSU losing this game. I look to the Ohio game in Miami, and then seeing how Miami isn't that good against KSU and it makes me think that Ohio doesn't have a chance. More confidence building for Sparty
You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is never get into a land war with Asia. But only slightly less well known is this: never go in against a Sicilian, when death is on the line!
they can both lose
tsio beats msu then gets the win revoked after the season cuz they cheat. lose-lose, perfect.

Keep in mind that OSU played Miami on the road. Young teams are less likely to have meltdowns at home. Also, MSU's offensive line is a sieve. MSU has the better QB, but he could be neutralized by the OSU pass rush.

As much as I hate to say it, we want OSU to win. I won't cheer when they score a TD or anything like that, but... we do want them to win. So I guess I'm rooting for them. /shiver
COYS and lets go Detroit FC!
I have absolutely no idea
both teams seem pretty hard to read at this point. I guess I'll lean towards OSU since it's in Columbus, but we definitely need MSU to lose.
If I Had To Choose...
....and I will because the grill will take a moment to warm up, I'll say OSU wins this one by at least two scores. 28-14.
It's questions like this that remind me of how irksome divisions are.

I hate that the new division structure makes it better for Michigan if OSU wins. That is bush. also, division winner is decided by total conference record, so I hope all the East division teams win. Go Ohio, go Wisco, go Penn State.
