I know they are playing a garbage team but I am glad we don't play them this year.

Uh yeah. Sparty with a competent offense? No thanks. Next week should be interesting. Hope they roll the Ducks.

Hell, I hope they roll all season. Always liked Sparty, even if they have some of the douchiest fans.

As long as Cook is 100%, I see no reason why Sparty shouldn't beat Oregon. They'll smash them in the mouth, and Oregon doesn't do well when they face physical teams.

To review:

- Michigan State lost to Oregon on the road, 46-27.
- Nebraska barely beat McNeese State, 31-24. Took the play of the year by Ameer Abdullah to save the day.
- Ohio State lost to Virginia Tech, 35-21.
- Penn State won a snoozer 21-3 over Akron.
- Rutgers won 38-25 over Howard.
- Maryland edged South Florida 24-17.
- Minnesota beat MTSU 35-24.
- Iowa barely beat Ball State, 17-14.
- Illinois beat Western Kentucky 42-34.
- Purdue got rocked 38-17 by CMU.
- Northwestern lost 23-15 to Northern Illinois.

Worst weekend by a conference I've ever seen.

Didn't someone else lose? Like Michigan?

The real horror is the ten doesn't have enough inertia because of its middling scheduling, to pull itself up before most teams take a big recruiting hit. (IManypepsO).

Wasn't Iowa a dark horse pick to win it all? That whole conference sucks. I hope Michigan wins the B1Got so we can claim the whole thing as our bitch. Can we rank all of them out of the top 25 please?

In fairness this is tough stuff... MSU played Oregon well until they got gassed in Autzen... I still think MSU is a good team. Wisky blew the hell out of the LSU game... damn shame there. and Um got beat on the road by the best team in eh country...totally expected and predicted, by me.

Don't know where else to post this.

My friends are subjecting me to a University of Illinois football game tomorrow for a "bachelor party". Luckily I already told my family that I cannot attend a family function at the U of I/Purdue football game because of a friend's wedding. My God, my family and friends from back home must not know what good football is.

Buddy just sent me an article on Eagles' QB Nick Foles. Never realized he was at MSU for a bit. How the hell does MSU have 4 guys with ties to them as NFL QBs? Not who I think of as the cradle of quarterbacks.

I've fallen on my ass many times over the years.

With no one to impel.

Alcohol was occasionally a factor.

Wojo's Pigskin Picks: Rivalry lives in brave new world


Now, if they truly plan to rule the state for an extended period, I've drawn up a list of guidelines they need to follow:

■ Drop the obsession, people. You've made your point — you were tormented for generations, going back to 1949, when Michigan allegedly didn't want you bringing your livestock into the Big Ten. There's a whole world of national acclaim out there — go get it!

■ Henceforth, your biggest rival is Ohio. Followed by Penn State. Followed by Indiana. Repeat this to your Michigan friends, watch them blink in disbelief.

■ Hire a skywriter for Saturday's game and have it scrawl your deepest hope for the rivalry: "Keep Hoke Alive."

■ If you're still so inclined — and I'm not suggesting you are! — find higher-quality furniture to incinerate after big games. I'd recommend a nice leather love seat with an ottoman.

■ Pompously pump up your status. You don't have Spartan "buddies" or "drinking pals" anymore. You have fellow "Michigan State Men." If that's too pretentious, these are acceptable: Sparty Man, Green Man, Ma Main Man.

Consider this a public service to Spartans and Wolverines everywhere. In a safe and orderly manner, please adjust accordingly.

Pick: Michigan State Men 34-13

Are we gonna have a Sportsbook on this one?

So we got Wiscy I n the championship tomorrow and MD beating MSU by 8 at half. Think MD holds on? Could either catch Wiscy tomorrow?

Probably wishes he transferred now. Even if he does make the NFL he'll likely be making far less than he would have if he was playing QB. He'll probably go mid-late rounds now, I could see teams taking him as a backup.

I kind of disagree. While he might have made it in the NFL as a QB, he wasn't going to be great in the NFL as a QB. He could be a great WR in the NFL. To me he is a back-up QB in the NFL, and a mid round pick as a QB, but as a WR he could be a 2nd round pick and has the chance to be very good to great.
