Wojo''s pigskin picks
This is the moment Michigan fans always pretended was imminent, but still secretly fear isn’t real. This is the moment Michigan State fans always pretended would never happen, but secretly feared it would. Michigan is 7-0 and ranked second in the country. Michigan State is 2-5 and ranked sixth in the state of Michigan, behind 7-1 Wayne State. The rivals clash Saturday, and Michigan is favored by anywhere from 21 to 78 points, depending on how loud and drunk the Michigan fan is as he jabs a chubby finger into the Michigan State fan’s chest. Hey, the Spartans can’t say they weren’t warned. They’ve done some heavy, heavy trolling while winning seven of eight meetings, led by disrespect-addicted coach Mark “Still No D” Antonio. The Wolverines took their punishment without much resistance, even apologizing when they were mildly disrespectful.
The Spartans can’t believe this is happening after just reaching the national playoff, where they impressively held the Crimson Tide below 40. The Wolverines can’t fully grasp it either, wondering if this is some sort of trap and Antonio suddenly will start using the real playbook, the one with actual first-down passes, minus fake field goals with one second left in the half. I’m not saying the Spartans are in a daze after starting 0-4 in the Big Ten for the first time since 1982. I’m just saying there are Michigan State fans staggering through the streets wearing stained Cotton Bowl T-shirts and “Make State Great Again” hats. I’m just saying Michigan State’s defense was assigned the task of protecting the Sparty statue this week, and at last report, Sparty was missing his helmet, half an arm, and obscenely, his entire codpiece. He also was caked in approximately 27 coats of blue paint.http://www.detroitnews.com/story/sports/columnists/bob-wojnowski/2016/1…

Michigan fans are gobbling up tickets in the secondary market, ironic considering Michigan State is in the market for a secondary.

Jesus these guys are Sparty nut huggers. Embarrassingly so.
A quote from their expert who predicted (I am not lying) Sparty to go 12-0:
"As much as I want to say “beating Michigan...again” it will be old news and 8 out of 9 years is not a highlight, it is old hat."
There is your bulletin board material. Any of the Pollyanna/Non-Steel in the Spine fans who are worried about tomorrow's outcome should not be. There is a wrong to be righted here. Jim Harbaugh will exact vengeance tomorrow.

That goes so far beyond EPIC FAIL.
I call that LEGENDARY FAIL.

It's going to happen.
They probably shouldn't have done this...
There is a price to be paid.

That was the final fucking nail as far as I am concerned. That saying was Bo's back in 1969 and when you mock that saying you mock Bo. Dantoni could have waited till the country knew who he was and his team was not being confused with Michigan the two x's they went to the Rose Bowl. They still felt worthy of stepping on what Michigan has accomplished over the past 35 years.
If getting smoked by Alabama in their first game of the playoffs is reason to call yourself champions they are not worthy of scoring a point tomorrow.

Mathematically eliminated at 0-5 in the B1G. Already.
The best thing about this, however, is that Harbaugh will/would beat the shit out of 'em with or without this harbinger of a fall.
Notice most of them are covering their dicks. Like they know a dong punch is forthcoming.

Anyone have a picture of the statue? Did I miss it? Was it a joke? I take things too literally sometimes...

or Freep has ever had hands down. OK Angelique is a very close second for keeping it real. Wojo is funny as Chris Rock and always keeping it real, sometimes he'll hurt you, sometimes he'll hurt them but you have to admit he is very funny. He has the best articles ever written about OSU and their truck driving/ WWE loving alumnus.
