Well, that depends on whether we will see the McFavre that lit up Michigan's secondary or the McFavre that threw two Mc-Sixes to the OSU secondary.

To be fair...
To be fair...
McGloin did very well in the first half against OSU. I think they said that he threw the first (and second) touchdown passes that Penn State has scored in Columbus during Joe Pa's time there. I believe they also said that, prior to McGloin scoring 2 TDs, a Joe Pa coached Penn State had never scored 2 TDs in Columbus.

I want to believe you on that

I want to believe you on that stat. But I can't. I'm sure I'm wrong... PSU has NEVER thrown a TD pass in the Shoe? I don't buy it.

McGloin,
strange but true:
McGloin, who finished 15 of 30 for 159 yards with the two interceptions, hit Justin Brown on a 23-yard score and Moye on a 6-yarder. They were the first touchdown passes Penn State had thrown in Ohio Stadium since joining the Big Ten in 1993, and gave the Lions the most points they've scored there in that span.

on ATH (around the horn) TR would have taken away several points and muted you for not doing your homework and then saying something untrue. i would say PSU might have thrown a TD pass, however a JoePa coached PSU team had not! i am also fairly certain that while i was watching gameday that herby even predicted that McGloin would throw two. (Probably because he was trying to jump on his bandwagon after blasting him on gameday when he started against us)! Go Blue beat wiscy!

I agree you can't count out

I agree you can't count out PSU, but there's other scenarios that also send MSU to the Rose Bowl.
However, UM beating both Wisconsin and OSU would make it extremely likely that MSU gets there.

I'm of the faction that is indifferent to Sparty's fortunes. If they get to the Rose bowl for the first time in a generation, wonderful. I want M to win every game. Every win helps us get our program back to its rightful place, and that is a place in which MSU don't matter.

I agree. I could care less what happens to State at this point. We had our chance to take care of business against them and we didn't. If we help them, so be it, but it helps UM more if we win our last 2 games. If UM finishes with a 9-3 record, I could care less where MSU is heading for their bowl. 9-3 means we keep RichRod and build off of a great season going into next year. It also will greatly help with closing out recruiting season and build towards the future.

I will care about our team and only our team! I refuse to be Sparty. More often than not, they care more about what we do versus what they do. If they had to cheer for us to have a better outcome for themselves, they still wouldn't do it. Typical Sparty.

I mean are you a Michigan fan or a Sparty hater?
A Michigan fan wants his favorite team (Michigan) to succeed.
A Sparty hater wants Sparty to fail.
Plus, does Sparty doing a face plant make Michigan's loss to MSU look better, or worse?
The beatings will continue until morale improves.

Which begs the existential question: if Sparty fans are more concerned about the Wolverines' fortunes than MSU's, does that make them Michigan fans?
