Tied for the Big Ten lead is a very enviable position. Go Blue........

Who would have thought they would become bowl eligible this soon or even this season after the two opening losses. To win without Hart today on foreign soil is eve more remarkable. The defense has really matured over the season... The way the top 20 teams have been falling lately it could be # 1 OSU vs #5 Michigan when they meet next month...

We better keep this between ourselves. There are some Spartan fans here who will gag at the thought.

Don't start counting your chickens...UM has to pass through East Lansing first.

I never feel the MSU is a gimmie game for UM. We lose too many of these contests when we're favored. Your team is on the rebound this season and it will be a good game. It would be nice though to be ranked high when we meet OSU...........

Michigan has a very tough November (and they shouldn't look past Minny either) at MSU, at Wisconsin and home vs. Ohio State, who Lloyd can't seem to beat.

They've won six in a row and I'm not really all that surprised. What surprises me is how poorly they began the season -- how unprepared they were. If I were the coach, I'd be kicking myself for not being 8-0 or at least 7-1.

They have four games left and I think they lose two of 'em. They finish 8-4 and Lloyd exits stage right. If they finish 10-2, Lloyd can say he turned the team around after the App. State fiasco, and he might possibly stay. Frankly, I don't think Lloyd can ever live down that App. State losss. But I respect Lloyd for not caring what others think. However, his days should be numbered IMO. Team needs a modern-day offense and more mobility at the QB position.

I did like the Arrington to Manningham TD play in yesterday's game and wonder why the offense doesn't do more misdirection like that. UM's offense is normally as predictable as a 10-piece jigsaw puzzle.

Seems like we beat U of M once a decade. I think we have a decent shot this time around.

Sorry, Nemo. But I HATE U of M. I hate the arrogance and sense of entitlement associated with it.

I can't stand some of the people I've met from there, but in all honesty I've met more really fantastic people from there than bad ones. Some are close friends. I certainly like all of the U of M fans on this forum.

But I hate that school. And...I love hating it.

I hope you guys lose all of your remaining games by 30 points.

Nuff said.

Love your honesty......I've run into the "entitlement" fans at UM home games as well and they annoy me. I hope the Spartans win the rest of their games, except for when they play UM..........

I respect UM, but how are they ranked and Boise State is not? I'm no fan of Boise State, but c'mon.

BYU has the same record as Michigan, and Michigan has had a pretty Charmin-soft schedule. I know the answer has something to do with UM's reputation, but I am still quite ticked off about it.

I hear you. The people out here think it's a joke too. The big schools are too afraid to play them for obvious reasons.

I'm no fan of BSU either, but I like to see them do well since my friends out here like them. They are a pretty good team. I'm not sure how they would do week in and week out in a big time conference though. It's hard to say since no big school will come out here to play them.

Not true. They opened up against Appalachian State, who is pretty tough I hear.
