As to the previous discussion...MSU depth chart

What the Michigan State football depth chart looks like after offseason upheaval | MLive.com

I expect Nd to go to EL and destroy this team.. If they play down to them it will be the first real sign that nothing has changed and its a 7 win season coming

We were embarrassed at home by a lousy MSU team last year. We were one of their three wins.

I expect to lose until I see evidence to the contrary. One team is well-coached and one team is not.

One team has lost like 20% of its scholarship players and the other has not.

We were 4 point favorites BEFORE all their recent attrition. They lost a bunch of key positions and we return a ton of starters with two VERY well respected coaches. I get your contrarian schtick. But in this case, you are the one being unreasonable.

Logic like this is only going to make the pain so much worse....

We've long had better players than MSU. Consider:

MSU four-year recruiting rank average (2013-16): 29
ND four-year recruiting rank average (2013-16): 10

And yet we lost, badly, at home, to an MSU team with substantially inferior talent that finished 3-9.

No evidence that this matters. The coach is everything.

I guess the pesky fact that Brian Kelly has a winning record against MSU was simply overlooked?

Grad is just trolling... If he truly felt that way he would go to Vegas and bet the house on MSU moneyline... But he won't because he doesn't believe what he is saying... Kelly has done pretty well against MSU.. Last year was a disaster but the whole year was... If you think a 3 win team who kicked off 9 to 11 players is going to beat ND, I don't know why you are a fan

Dude, I'm a graduate student. I don't have enough $$$ to bet on anything.

You don't know why you are a fan unless you think the team will do well? Yeesh. I'm a Browns fan too but that doesn't mean I think they're winning the Super Bowl.

To be fair, me and Dakota certainly know how to punch back.

Of course they freaking are....

No one has ever accused the IE Banking Caucus of backing away from a fight.

This is what makes me wish IE was a paid site...

I wish we had Glass-Stegall here.

I wish we had Glass-Stegall here.

Even if we did, Trump would sign an Executive IE Order to abolish it.

A couple buddies and I are kicking the tires on going to this game, never been to EL before. Any good bars that we should hit up?
We're not dead set on actually going to the game unless we get any good deals. Anyone scalp there before?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

considering going as well (wife is a MSU alum).

Game days in EL are always pretty good, tailgating is very close to stadium and plenty of parking. MSU is kinda sucky now so perhaps the atmosphere isn't as good these days.

Rick's, Crunchy's, Harpers and Dublin Square are the main bars but to be honest when we go to MSU games we just tailgate (im old and grumpy) before and after the games.

Been to EL three times and all I can say is that their fans are unbearable. While other fan bases are jackasses, the only time I have been spit on was at EL and it has happened twice. Also of note is that one was when I was 17 years old and with my dad. The other was when I was with family with young kids. Neither time did I have a sip of alcohol and both times it was accompanied with a "Notre Dame sucks". No reason for me to ever go back.

 

[adsnorri]

I and 7 other friends are going to this game. Went the year of the fake field goal and I can verify what others are saying. The MSU fans are assholes and have no shame in letting you know.

That said- the environment was electric, especially at night. Didn't go to any bars after that game as I was ready to kill someone.

Join in the fun of hopefully whooping their ass!

This's what I have been hearing. I think it would be fun to go to. One of the guys going went to MSU before transferring to Purdue, and the other guys will be Purdue grads as well, so it should be interesting.

Bought a block of six tickets last night. Looking forward to some payback for last year's debacle.

 

[MNIrishman]

If anyone's still looking for tickets, I know the ND Club of Lansing is still selling. Their president's email is Lansing.President@alumni.nd.edu
