Will Sparty get two Prime Time spankings in a 3 week span?
September 24th, 2017 at 1:42 PM ^
Yes, they will.
September 24th, 2017 at 2:23 PM ^
Is the sky blue?
September 24th, 2017 at 2:35 PM ^
thread...
Really enjoyed the horror show MSU fans got to
there is a God, and He has a heck of a sense of humor.
don't count our chickens before they're hatched, but here's to hoping we keep the football momentum going, particularly against state.
September 24th, 2017 at 1:44 PM ^
Please shut up. Michigan is not yet as good as you apparently think they are.
September 24th, 2017 at 1:52 PM ^
We are definitely good enough to give Sparty an ass-kicking. Lewerke is nowhere near the savior they all thought he was after he beat up on Bowling Green. I think we kick their ass just as bad as ND did
September 24th, 2017 at 1:54 PM ^
Sparty could be ranked dead last in the FBS but as long as Dantonio is coaching there they will give us a ball game.
September 24th, 2017 at 3:43 PM ^
One of the two years Harbaugh has been here, they didn't give us a game. And the other year they had one of the 4 best teams in college football and probably their best team in 50 years and they needed a miracle play to beat us. I don't see this year playing out like 2 years ago unless Lewerke turns himself into senior Connor Cook in two weeks
September 24th, 2017 at 4:37 PM ^
Dantonio locked into the wrath of Harbaugh forever.
Defense will truck Sparty.
September 24th, 2017 at 4:40 PM ^
Our defense will dominate their offense, however any defense with a pulse could give our offense trouble and Sparty will play like it's the Super Bowl. It will be a close game.
September 24th, 2017 at 4:47 PM ^
I guess we've been watching different games. Michigan was up 1 score with 1 second left to play last year. It's crazy to me that people act like we blew them out.
September 24th, 2017 at 6:06 PM ^
It wasn't as close as you make it out to be either so take you indignation and shove.....I mean drop it off in East Lansing or something.
September 24th, 2017 at 1:52 PM ^
We have a championship-caliber defense and kicker. If the offense can just be pedestrain we can beat anyone on our schedule.
September 24th, 2017 at 1:56 PM ^
This is absolutely key, and perfectly correct. We don't need Oklahoma State's offense to be a B1G Championship, playoff bound team. Not this year at least. We need our defense to play like it's been playing, and an offense that minimizes mistakes and puts up 28 points or so.
September 24th, 2017 at 2:35 PM ^
If the offense puts up 28 in regulation time, we win. I don't care who the opposition is, the defense isn't giving up more than 28 to anyone.
September 24th, 2017 at 2:50 PM ^
PSU scares me a little. The Iowa game notwithstanding, their offense - and Barkley - look damn good. Iowa is a weird place to play, as we well know, and 21 points last night might be a season low for PSU...
September 24th, 2017 at 6:33 PM ^
Penn State is overrated and they ran the same play 20 times last night. That won't work against Michigan.
September 24th, 2017 at 4:41 PM ^
That assumes we don't turn the ball over, which is a big assumption.
September 24th, 2017 at 1:56 PM ^
I'm willing to bet we're a hell of a lot better than Notre Dame
September 24th, 2017 at 1:57 PM ^
I think so far this year, ND has been improved, and still pretty pedestrian. I have a feeling we are a level or two ahead of them.
September 24th, 2017 at 2:03 PM ^
Maybe but who can say for sure? They have lost one squeaker to Georgia, who happens to look like one of the best teams in the country right now.
September 24th, 2017 at 2:08 PM ^
Defense wins championships. Our defense is the best in the big ten, hands down. We are good.
September 24th, 2017 at 1:46 PM ^
I hope it's not a night game. It's the one game this year I get to attend, and I doubt my 7 year old will last much beyond the first half if the game starts at 8:00.
September 24th, 2017 at 2:14 PM ^
Let the kid drink coffee. Always worked for me
September 24th, 2017 at 2:22 PM ^
My daughter has a soccer tourney that day with games at 11am and 4:30pm mountain time. Night game works best for me.
September 24th, 2017 at 2:24 PM ^
Ugh, I remember soccer games. Good luck.
September 24th, 2017 at 2:31 PM ^
Tell the athletics department
September 24th, 2017 at 2:26 PM ^
I hope it's a night game.
September 24th, 2017 at 10:21 PM ^
seriously looking for a bunch.
September 24th, 2017 at 1:48 PM ^
Hehehehe, the actual Spartans liked man-on-man spankings too...
September 24th, 2017 at 2:23 PM ^
I'd like to see you say that to Leonidas' face, clown boy.
September 24th, 2017 at 2:39 PM ^
He would like to be kicked into that well / sewer
September 24th, 2017 at 3:43 PM ^
FauxMo is correct. The Spartans were known as the foremost practicers of pederasty in the Hellenic world. It was said that they fought so fiercely because they were fighting, not merely to defend their city as citizens, but to defend their lover beside them in the phalanx. Bet MSU wouldn't show THAT on the Jumbotron though...
September 24th, 2017 at 4:03 PM ^
Of the many, many, MANY absurd inaccuracies in "300" was when Leónidas insults the Athenians by calling them "boy lovers." Sure, the Athenians were into that, but nowhere near the Spartans, where it was an institution.
Oh, and Achilles goes nuts after Patroklos dies because...they were (maybe) lovers...
September 24th, 2017 at 3:40 PM ^
Faux Mo [giggling]: So I hear that Spartans like man-on-man spankings...
Leonidis: LOL, no, that's just what people say...but I see that it's just us now in the hot tub. Have you ever tried masturbating in front of a guy? Like, you know, just as friends?
Faux Mo [blushing]: No... But I guess it wouldn't be gay, right? Just two guys hanging out?
Leonidis: Yeah, just two friends relaxing... [mischievous smirk]

not a very strong schedule on 7-October. If MSU/U-M is the ABC PrimeTime game (likely), I could see GameDay also being in AA.
September 24th, 2017 at 1:50 PM ^
Highly doubtful.
September 24th, 2017 at 2:06 PM ^
I doubt it. MSU won’t be a big draw if they’re not any good, and there’s a few other matchups that week between ranked opponents they’ll probably rather go to.
LSU-Florida - because SEC and all that jazz....
Washington State-Oregon - both pretty good this year so far. WSU could possibly win the division, and is a sneaky bet to win the PAC-12. Assuming neither one loses next week my money is on this game being the one for Gameday.
Miami - FSU - FSU is a disappointment so far, but a big rivalry and they’ll play up the hurricane story so, so much for that game.
September 24th, 2017 at 1:52 PM ^
spankings can be compelling anytime (as long as it's consentual).
September 24th, 2017 at 2:38 PM ^
It will not be consentual at all
September 24th, 2017 at 3:29 PM ^
consensual either.
September 24th, 2017 at 1:55 PM ^
not sure why a likely 2-2 MSU squad would be put in primetime. that wont get very good ratings.
I personally hope it's a night game but I'm not sure it's warranted from a national perspective.
they are going to get destroyed no matter what tho. our defense is just way too much for them to handle.
September 24th, 2017 at 2:04 PM ^
Huh? MSU has more than a domestic audience. They have an international, no, an interglactic audience!
September 24th, 2017 at 2:07 PM ^
hey, yea, I'm going to be on board the International Space Station during the game. Know of any bars that will be showing the game there?
September 24th, 2017 at 2:53 PM ^
That's a fair statement. It is sometimes difficult to remember that the Spartans do have fans in the general area that gets their ABC / ESPN games from WTOL in Toledo as well. They do have an international audience after all.
September 24th, 2017 at 4:25 PM ^
Auburn and Missouri got primetime. So did Texas and USC. As long as one team is Top Ten, if the other is rivalry/compelling game, it's a good argument.
The networks take a minimum of one Big Ten primetime game a week.
The options on October 7th are:
- Minnesota at Purdue (Obviously not)
- Charleston Southern at Indiana (Obviously not)
- Maryland at Ohio State (should be obviously not; especially with the terps injuries)
- Wisconsin at Nebraska (this is the only other compelling matchup, but Nebraska looks to be worse than MSU, Wisconsin's fanbase/audience isn't as big as Michigan's, and we have the rivalry factor).
MSU vs. U of M is the best primetime option of the Big Ten slate. It should get it.
September 24th, 2017 at 1:59 PM ^
I'm really not comfortable with how so many in our fanbase, including Ace and Brian, are taking this game for granted.
