Michigan being down benefits michigan stateMichigan is only good when Michigan State is down
Michigan state being down means absolutely nothing to Michigan. It is the standard.
Michigan has 3 straight conference titles...msu has 3 in the last 35+ years. You're perpetually down.
You eat off Michigan's plate...Michigan doesn't give a shyt what's on yours

Yea...y'all only good when We down
So they got UGA vs Clemson in that 11AM @smitty22 early bird old man window?
I guess, Better that than have them all on at the same time. I need to check the schedule and see what games are actually going head to head. That Colorado Thursday night kickoff should do crazy numbers.
Wonder how ESPN got it instead of Big Noon Kickoff. Can't imagine them having anything else that will come close to what that game is going to do ratings wise.

It’s in the name
Them top 15 classes were smoke and mirrors. Most of the guys were busts and transferred out and one year Rich Rod took 2 offensive lineman which led to the collapse of 2014 where Devin Gardner and Shane Morris nearly died in the pocket.Fool he just said yall were still getting top 15 classes and had some as high as 3-5. Yall had more talent than Michigan State.
So if yall had more talent than them then why were they better than yall? Its one answer
But, in spite of these successes, Michigan will be digging itself out of a recruiting hole left by Rodriguez' tenure for the next four years. Despite the rankings and despite the individual successes of Rodriguez and his staff, Michigan's recruiting classes were far, far worse than anyone has realized.

That’s not to say Marky Mark didn’t do work in Lansing. Kirk Cousins was a two star headed to Western Michigan. Darqueze Denard was a 2 star with offers from Temple and Middle Tennessee State. Jack Conklin was a walk on. LeVeon Bell was a 2 star with offers from Eastern Michigan and Bowling Green. Denicos Allen #53 linebacker in all of Ohio.
Michigan and Michigan State are almost never good at the same time. Evidence points to if one is down the other is cooking. But that’s not the whole story because those State teams beat prime Urban Meyer and prime Wisconsin teams and won a Rose Bowl. That 2013 team probably should’ve been playing for a National title if not for some home cooking against Notre Dame early in the year.
Personally I think they were on that Nebraska 1990’s regiment
That says more about coaching to me as well. If you're having that many buss along with a trash product on field then the coach must be ass.Them top 15 classes were smoke and mirrors. Most of the guys were busts and transferred out and one year Rich Rod took 2 offensive lineman which led to the collapse of 2014 where Devin Gardner and Shane Morris nearly died in the pocket.
