Rival Week POSBANG Win #8
We came, we played and we won. Not perfect but we definitely did not kick the pooch nor was the game ever seriously in doubt. Compared to our peers in the top 5 we are one of the most consistent performers.
Michigan 32
MSU 23
Something poetic about how MSU's score is the direct opposite of ours. This is heaven's way of letting us know that order has truly been restored in the universe.
GO BLUE and onward to Maryland!
The NEW highlight reel to replace that other one....

Peppers' two point return was even more "poetic." It has replaced the Sparty Fluke as the highlight of the series for TV stations with short memories: like all of them.
October 29th, 2016 at 8:55 PM ^
YES! Good point Tater! How awesome is that Peppers return with 1 second left to offset last year's play with 1 second left. Man oh man the universe TRULY has been corrected!

Mork and MSU were trying to make a lame point (well, 2 points?) against us, and it backfired in spectacular fashion.

Plus sparty fans HATE hearing about all the Peppers hype, that 2 pointer had to be salt in the wound.
October 29th, 2016 at 9:31 PM ^
of stupid coaching decision, return for 2, and the fact that it was Peppers who did it really was satisfying

(Yes, high octane may be a bit optimistic, but it had a great first half and fine third quarter)

He is not going to show anything until shit gets deep.

Another good win. Let them brag about being within two scores of us. It's their hard-won right.
October 29th, 2016 at 10:14 PM ^
Sparty back to justifying how good they looked in losing to us
October 29th, 2016 at 8:48 PM ^
We can start doing half of the things again! GO BLUE!!!

Isn't taking care of yourself a sin for Catholics?
October 29th, 2016 at 10:11 PM ^
And it's probably the most common sin committed in all of Catholic history.

I believe you missed the tongue being firmly planted in his cheek when he posted that :) but it was accurate!

Jim hinted to it one game. Think it was Colorado or UCF. Not how I'm going to put it but Peppers closing speed or adrenaline burst a lot of the time would be clocked under a 4.3 easily. Anyone who has the quick twitch and great closing speed/elite speed can vouch for what I'm talking about. There are just times when you are so much faster than you could ever be in a clocked 40 yard sprint or 100 meter dash. Game time situations. When you get the ball and see daylight or have to run someone down because the game depends on it, the studs (demi gods) have that higher gear or gears that cant ever be measured! Denard had it and so does Pep.

Was that some sort of exotic bird chirping after the TD? LOL.
October 29th, 2016 at 9:08 PM ^
After the way Northwestern hung in with OSU at the shoe, I'm actually starting to believe we will go undefeated. Go Blue!

Did Mork say in post game why he went for 2? With a PAT they would've still had the chance of returning the onside kick for a TD for the win.
October 29th, 2016 at 9:36 PM ^
Yeah this makes no sense however you slice it.
We understand its highly unlikely to recover an onside kick and run it in dor a TD on the last play of the game, but then why even bother scoring once and then kicking the onside kick at all if you are not trying to win the game. It was one of the most questionable coaching calls I've seen lately as its really just simple math to figure out you should kick and have the chance to win via extra point after a crazy fluke kicking play TD (not too soon anymore).
October 29th, 2016 at 10:26 PM ^
October 29th, 2016 at 9:53 PM ^
The inferiority complex, he went for 2 to try and make it a closer game. So out-coached.
No wonder he got teary eyed when Hoke whispered into his ear...
October 29th, 2016 at 10:23 PM ^
Except that the kicking team can't return an onside kick. They just get the ball where they recover it.
They could theoretically return a fumble if Michigan was dumb enough to try and return it, and not just fall on it.

I love how we let them score first so little brother could feel all good about themselves then we smack back with two TD's. Then give them 3 points, we don't want them to take their ball and go home and complain to Mom. So then we beat up on him enough to win the game by half time. Then we just put our hand on his forehead while he swings at air till the 4th quarter. So we go back to not wanting him to leave (even though most of their fans did) and start complaining to Mom again, so we let him close the gap a little then just closed the game out near the end, again so they could feel good about themselves.....So on to the next team in our way to a N.C. Bring Maryland on and Go Blue!

HAIL TO THE VICTORS VALIANT!
Michigan leads Michigan State 69-35 all time, including a 20-14 record in East Lansing.
Even despite MSU's winning ways the past decade, Michigan also holds a winning record (9-8) since 2000.
THIS IS OUR STATE!
Trifecta of football, academic and college town superiority is reinstated!
