Any Michigan State Spartans fans out there?

[Patiod]

This should be an interesting weekend in Happy Valley. Any predictions?

(oh, here's a top secret scouting report: Nittany Lion defense is massive, offense is likely to go up the middle on the ground. Don't tell ANYONE!)

1. For this week, count me in!

If Michigan can beat Ohio State, an MSU win over PSU would be awesome. Go Green! Go White!

2. Another one who's rooting for MSU this week!

Purely selfish reasons--if Penn State loses, Notre Dame moves up in the polls!

10. Don't you feel dirty thinking that though?

Last week I felt like I had to take a shower after rooting for South Carolina and Spurrier.

[joeybee12]

12. Nah! But like you, I felt funny rooting for Spurrier....

...couldn't really decide who I disliked more--Florida or Spurrier. Neither team is really going anywhere, so maybe it doesn't matter.


Now, if I EVER root for Miami in anything, then I'll really feel dirty!

13. I can't do that under any circumstances.

I have heard some people say that there isn't the thug element since Coker took over but the story about the 7th floor crew and the song that they came up with proves that theory wrong.

14. You have Jimmy Johnsons to thank for all that...he built up Miami's

program at a very high cost--recruiting kids that no other school would touch--criminals, essentially.

3. I'm with Lisa M

State fan for this one week. Don't let us down -- Michigan needs you to win!

Go Blue!

4. Hey! This wasn't a pro-MSU OP!

I'm rooting for Penn State all the way! Did no one notice the Phillies avatar? Do I need to steal someone's Nittany Lion avatar (when avatars come back)?

I just want you to know how much I hate Michigan State.

The last game I went to in Happy Valley:
1) it was cold and raining
2) I was forced to sit between a school friend and the guy who paid for and rented the RV we all drove up in, who she didn't want to sleep with (long, painful story)
3) we were in the middle of the tippy top last row at the center of the end zone
4) Michigan State kicked our asses as I slowly froze to death
5) We had happy MSU fans STAYING IN OUR RV and ACTUALLY CELEBRATING!!!!! Arrrgghh!!!!!!!!!!!

After that weekend, I get a twitch whenever I hear the word "spartans"

5. since they both lost to the boys in maize and blue

does it really matter?

[LisaM]

6. Oh, sorry! Didn't mean to hijack your thread

Your avatar wasn't up. It does matter to Michigan because as unlikely as it might seem, if MSU wins, and Michigan wins (both big "ifs", I don't want to tempt fate) Michigan will be the Big 10 Champ. So for this week, everyone in Michigan is rooting for Michigan State!

7. game's in East Lansing

right?

[1gobluedem]

8. Yes

But, even with that, nobody is giving MSU a chance.

[DontBlameMe]

11. Aint that the truth.

However, if they pull their heads out of their asses, and play like they did the first half of the season, Penn State could find their ass in the wringer.

Don't get me wrong. I live in East Lansing. My friends and I had bets on which week they would collapse. Happens EVERY year. Doesn't matter how good the team is, they always fold. I figured they'd beat UM and Ohio State. They almost did. I figured they'd phone it in against NW, and slide from there.

If they actually show up, though, Penn State is in for a long day.

[Patiod]

9. sorry - it IS in East Lansing!

Will be watching with a bunch of other PSU ladies. hope we won't lose in the last minute as we did with MSU's in-state rival.
