I would take Wisconsin over Michigan State.

Abdullah had 123 yards against Michigan State, with three offensive line starters out, one an All American. I think Wisconsin has a better running game and won't fumble the ball six times, lose four, and won't throw an interception.

Here is where Michigan State started their drives at after each turnover

Fumble Nebraska 40
Interception Nebraska 46
Fumble Nebraska 22
Fumble Nebraska 8
Fumble Nebraska 3

Those turnovers led to 24 points. Michigan State's punter had the game of his career. His punts were routinely inside the Nebraska 10. The one at the one yard line I guess the guy that batted it back was ruled as the player that downed it, caught it in the end zone, but his feet were out of the end zone. Then he pushed it back and another guy touched it and picked it up while he stood in the end zone.

Connor Cook played a good, mistake free game.

The poor Nebraska defense was constantly playing in their own end. The defense would make a stop, then the offense would give it up. Nebraska allowed zero sacks, but sacked Cook twice. Michigan State punted seven times, to Nebraska's five.

I would too...and I'll be taking Ohio State over Michigan State as well. But,
I'm hoping like hell that 'good things continue to happen' for my Spartans...that they compete well...maybe even win.

What a boring fucking world it'd be if we KNEW what was going to happen, eh?

Wisconsin is a 15.5 point favorite on the road at Minnesota. Wonder if Anderson knows that.

I like cold weather, but I hope it's not too cold (under 20 degrees with a strong wind).

My wife used to manage the Bank Ohio when it was in Morrill Tower years ago. All of her tellers were students and most dated FB players. We used to get great seats to nearly every game.

Why is Huntington giving away tickets anyway? Can't they sell it out?

I read the other day that there were still 1000 tickets available for Michigan/Iowa.

It's Senior Day, it's Michigan, and you're playing for bowl position. :L

I guess the fans figure they don't need to support the team. I hope they know recruits look at this kind of thing. I don't like Saban. But he was right about staying in the stands to support the team. I can't remember ever leaving the Shoe during any Buckeye win or loss.

A lot of times I don't remember leaving any Buckeye games period.

Huntington Bank, despite being a Columbus, OH based company, is a major sponsor of Michigan State University athletics, and they control lots of tickets for various sports. Also, the Huntington Club at Spartan Stadium is a luxury suite area.

Last season, the massive video board and sound system upgrades at Spartan Stadium cost $10 million.....Huntington paid half of it. Of course, Huntington signage & advertising is present all over the athletic facilities at MSU.

Huntington has a lot of branches in the state of Michigan, and they wish/need to convey a visual & positive image in order to maintain their brand equity in the community.

Tiger I hope that game gets postponed and needs to be rescheduled for a bye week in November.

It's 20 degrees in Green Bay today with a 5 degree wind chill. How do you think your boys would like that?
