MSU has won the
last two conference games by a combined score of 56-3, while UM has split their
last two conference games by a combined score of 103-90. Why are we thinking
this game will be close?
Because the
game features Michigan, the dirtiest team
in the country. The normal rule-book does not apply to UM, as game
officials are allowed to pick-and-choose which rules to enforce and when to
enforce them, always keeping the Wolverines interests in mind. Oh, and because
they beat Central Michigan 59-9.

Will Taylor Lewan
have a big game for the Wolverines this weekend, or will he be ejected before
half-time for repeated Unsportsmanlike Conduct penalties?
He should be
preemptively ejected for past misconduct.
Instead, he will be allowed to punch, kick, gouge, scratch, spit, and stomp on any
Spartan before, during, and after every play. If anybody wearing green bumps
into him on his way off the field, that player will be executed on the spot.
After the game, he will accuse MSU of "playing dirty".

Will Brady Hoke
bother to attend the game this Saturday, or will he instead spend the afternoon
walking around his own backyard with his hands on his hips? (He has better
access to donuts at home.)
This is a
tough one, lots of reasons for Hoke to stay home. In the end, it will be his fascination
with Sparty that will bring him back to East
Lansing. Besides, we have donut shops, too.
But no, he
won't be wearing headphones as they only mess up his fancy hairstyle.

What is your
"over-under" for make-believe penalty calls against MSU that keep the
game close?
The current
line is 2-1/2. There will certainly be one or two made-up calls against MSU,
perhaps as many as four or five. Count on these calls to extend Michigan drives
or even directly put points on the scoreboard. That's how they almost won the
game in 1990, and it's how they tried to win
the game in 2008.

Michigan State
hosts Michigan this weekend, then again next year for two home games in two
years. How many more consecutive home games would MSU have to play against UM
to equal the longest home-game streak in the series?
We're going to
need a very large computer to calculate this number. Michigan played an
infinite number of home games for decades, usually against super-powerhouse
programs like Albion. To even the series, MSU would need to host
every game until our sun goes into supernova.

The Michigan
Football Program remains on NCAA Probation. Why doesn't the media report on it?
This is a
super-duper extra-special high-security Top Secret piece of
information. (Even Obama doesn't know about it.) Sure, their
Probation penalties don't expire until next week, but hey, what's a little
cheating now and then? Just because UM ran formally coached practices through
the Summer, and got caught at it, why is that "news"?
A better
question is why doesn't the media report on those two Michigan
Wrestlers who got popped with the Molotov Cocktails on Louisville
Championship Night?

Wow, that's all
very interesting. Anything else to say about the big game?

Great points, SM2. Not to make this political, but based on the past few months Obama claims he didn't know much about anything. I'm sure he would have pardoned the chUMps had he known.
