I guess I feel worse for our player with the broken hip than anybody else.<br /><br />As for the "Millenium" discussion, I also recall the definitional debate, and it was for that very reason, I chose to GIVE UM THE 2000 GAME, just to eliminate any claims that I was fudging the record book. If I did not count that game, I felt it would dilute the point, so I let them have that one as part of this millenium/century or the previous decade, however people want to count it.<br /><br />The point rides just as tall whether it leaves us at 8-7 or 8-8 or 11-12 or anything other than 15-1 or 22-3. The modern-day series is very, very close, not like the old days.<br /><br />I also think that going back only three years or only eight or nine years is not quite long enough to establish "program trends". But we don't need any pre-World-War-Two games and certainly nothing from the Davy Crockett days.<br /><br />I think they lead us 14-11 over the last 25 and I plan to report that as well, just because 25 is a numerical marking-point, not because it "makes us look good".<br /><br />To Bill: Thanks for your participation, you seem to be for real at this point. Sorry to mis-cast you as the enemy, but we've had a number of them come after us. Feel free to chime in again in the future.American Reporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18053609741082503574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4160896203399392588.post-76116573762811104942015-10-19T11:46:57.664-04:002015-10-19T11:46:57.664-04:00If one does go back to 1998, then the time span st...If one does go back to 1998, then the time span starts when the seniors were just beginning PeeWee football. Connor Cook was born in 1993. Over the course of Cook's lifetime the series is nearly even, 11-12, with the edge going to Michigan.MSUSpartan76https://www.blogger.com/profile/01872614755970123409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4160896203399392588.post-27198351422404584552015-10-19T11:40:08.428-04:002015-10-19T11:40:08.428-04:00And to that end, I would rather watch a game of MS...And to that end, I would rather watch a game of MSU versus a good UM team than a bad one. This year, the Spartans took on a good UM team and it was a game for the ages.<br /><br />As a fan, I have learned to watch for the full 60 minutes. I did not quit when MSU gave the ball back. I did not quit at 10 seconds. It seems the team did not quit either.<br /><br />Now we have to wait a full, freaking year before it happens again!<br /><br />It's just starting! Woo Woo!<br /><br />Go State!MSUSpartan76https://www.blogger.com/profile/01872614755970123409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4160896203399392588.post-52065976292568922912015-10-19T11:37:08.456-04:002015-10-19T11:37:08.456-04:00I feel no worse for the UM punter than for any of ...I feel no worse for the UM punter than for any of the other kids that missed tackles, blew routes, botched assignments, or whatever else mistakes they made.<br /><br />You go out onto the field. You do your best. It's a team effort. Your team mates cover for you and you for them. Coaches call plays and make adjustments based on the ebb and flow of the game.<br /><br />It's the drama of not knowing what exactly to expect next that makes the game such fine entertainment, such fun to watch.MSUSpartan76https://www.blogger.com/profile/01872614755970123409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4160896203399392588.post-4831127771675128212015-10-19T11:32:42.190-04:002015-10-19T11:32:42.190-04:00Good catch on the calendar.
