Just thought it might be fun to point out that, assuming all goes as intended next week (Illinois looks lousy this year), our boys will be playing, not only to break a 4-year losing streak (tied for MSU's longest win-streak since at least 1953, if not in history), but to earn the programs 900th football win at home against Michigan State. It will be fun to see any hype about this.
This is barring hypothetical jinxes, but homecoming with a lousy team? I'm not afraid.

"900th football win at home against Michigan State"
Wow, didn't realize Michigan had beaten State 900 times in the Big House. If extrapolation applies fairly accurately, I think Michigan has played Illinois more times than State and probably has a better record, so next Saturday will hopefully be about 1023 wins at home against Illinois. Very nice.

Our most recent 4-game losing streak to MSU
before this one was 1959-1962.
But if we don't beat MSU it's your fault.
I would not count ANY
Big Ten game an automatic win...especially this year.
Man, I CANNOT wait to beat
Man, I CANNOT wait to beat Sparty! I used to work with a guy who graduated from there and outside of being a Sparty he was pretty cool EXCEPT when they beat us again. Talk about Dr. Jeckyl/ Mr. Hyde!! What a complete tool he was for the next 2 weeks.

Let's hope Iowa's D is not made of paper towels
Actually their pass defense is ranked 35 of all teams. If they somewhat destroy Mawell's confidence then we will be in good shape. Levon Bell does not look too good except against Indiana.
No way, dude. I read
No way, dude. I read somewhere that Leveon Bell is a STUD!! He should definitely get some Heisman love.
It ain't easy being cheesy
Bell actually has done quite well
Considering MSU's offensive line is certainly one of the worst, if not the worst, O-line in the Big Ten. Not saying he should get Heisman love, because he shouldn't, but he is a good back. If you're going to make fun of MSU, there are much better targets (O-line, WRs, DBs).
He is definitely very
He is definitely very talented but they tend to oversell his abilities, as well as other "beasts" on their team. I definitely saw some plenty of Heisman talk from them after the Boise State game. If they can exclaim "September Heisman LOLOL" why can't we do the same for good fun?
It ain't easy being cheesy
Oh, I understand that they oversell many of their players
Ghoston as well. But I think their "Best O-line in the Big Ten" is a far better thing to make fun of. Because honestly, it's horrific. Whereas Bell would be pretty dang good behind any other O-line.
not even
I dont think Bell even looked good against IU. His per carry average was very pedestrian, even below-average. He only looked good AT THE END, when IU's DL got gassed. If he performs against us the way he did yesterday, we'll be fine.
By the way, I so did NOT say any of this, as officially I am NOT looking past U of I. It's Illinois week, not Sparty week. We aren't discussing this, period.
I might be more afraid of MSU
I might be more afraid of MSU if they lose next week. They'd know their season is essentially over, so their entire season would boil down to just beating MIchigan. It's that whole backed into a corner thing.

Agreed, but unfortunately,
Dantonio has been able to get them to play essentially their best games of each season against us. Nothing that happens this week from either squad will have me feeling great about that game. However, after watching our game yesterday, I do feel much better.

I swear to fucking god if we lose to illinois I will rip your balls out.......
If you don't like Michigan you are a peasant
would pay to see dantonios press conference if we win
The man hates us to the core. A 1000 bucks to the man that asks him how it feels to give michigan their 900th win
BAD
NEXT QUESTION.

I was this close to posting it on here. Glad I didn't. If we lose next week you're fucked.

Side question...kickoff time vs. MSU?
Anyone have any feeling about what might be the kickoff time for MSU, either noon or 3:30? Just wondering if anyone's heard anything yet (semi) definitively, or knows when that information might be announced.

Would be cool if Gameday were
Would be cool if Gameday were around for the occasion. Unfortunately I have a feeling that Kansas St./WVU will get the nod. Sleeper pick: If KSU or WVU lose this week and Duke can knock off Virginia Tech, they will go to Durham for the Duke/UNC game. That would be something.
