Michigan Agricultural College Preview

Michigan Agricultural College
Time: 7:30
Location: Spartan Stadium 
Weather: 49 and 47% Rain 
TV: NBC (Eagle/Blackledge)
Line: Michigan -24

Two in-state programs heading in different directions.  MSU lost their head coach to an off-field situation early in the season and hasn't won since.  Michigan's head coach took a self-assessed 3 game penalty to start the year and then gets accused of over scouting this week but is #2 and currently undefeated. 

Last season, there was an ugly tunnel incident and there is clearly no love lost between these two programs.   There were reports that MSU considered not playing this game after the Big Ten notified them of Michigan's over scouting allegation.   You can't even make this up. 

Dear Jimmy, 

I believe you and the Michigan faithful believes you, nobody trusts that Indianapolis based Clown Show organization. As a Michigan fan, I want you to find any and every advantage you can.  I don't want you to break any rules but I do want you to use every resource possible to win games.  If you and Michigan are cleared of this allegation, I suggest you use Tom Mars and sue the "F" out of the two coaches who cried to the Clown Show and the Clown show itself.   This Clown Show, "guilty before proven innocent" is the most non-American thing possible.

Now you have another distraction hours before a rivalry game. Which was the plan of the Clown Show, I'm sure.   I know I don't have to tell you that MSU will be emptying the playbook on Saturday night.  Expect onside kicks, fake punts, fake field goals, trick plays, and probably a few personal fouls.   MSU will do anything possible to save their dreadful season to win this game. 

It's a night game and it's on grass, which has not been good for your program over the past few years.  These things should not beat a team with your talent level.  I'm not worried about the focus of your team as we all remember what happened after last year's game.  Michigan will need to play smart and not fall for all the BS that Sparty will throw at you.  There will be plenty of opportunities to get personal fouls and Michigan staying away from that BS will be key in winning this game.  

I would really like to see Michigan run the football effectively and have the Michigan offensive line dominate the LOS.  But I expect MSU to load the box to shut down Corum and have JJ beat them.  JJ has been great at Michigan but one of his disaster plays was in this stadium and Sparty will continue to test him.   Use the TE's, Roman, and Corn Johnson to move the ball and score TD's.  Michigan's defense will also have to play disciplined football as MSU saw the IU trick play that worked last Saturday.  Rush with 4 and get to the QB. 

Play smart, protect the football, and play Michigan Football then get out of there with a win.  Then put this week to bed. 

Michigan 31 MSU 14

I hope we don't have to forfeit any wins this year it's been such a great year so far

I'm hopeful but wary of this shit-show of a game.

Apparently the story about the new investigation is really focused on the 'how' got access to signs. Meaning, using opponents signs isn't actually against the rules. But sending people to games to steal the signs in person is what ncaa has deemed illegal - simply bc big schools can pay for it and smaller ones can't.

Even Feinbaum is like this is all targeted bc of Jimmy.

kind of like big schools have more NIL money? Its all disingenuous. The NCAA wanted NFL lite: TP (Free agency) and NIL (paid players), so why stop there. can't be half wet? either all the way in, or all out! NFL sends scouts to opponents games

Too many allegations? He bought a recruit a cheeseburger and forgot about it and now this. That is two. Are there others that I am missing?

Stay the course with Harbaugh. Go Blue and fight on.
