So Boise opens up at Michigan State next year?

    3-7 would be extreme, considering you're saying that Maxwell would be so bad that it would propel us back to the 1970's, when we played 10 games a season.

    Haha. I was saying 3-7 going into the bye week, after which I would expect them to beat NW and MN.

  • Boise is going to kill them.

    Based on what?

    Damn. Will be pretty embarrassing if Sparty loses to a team with virtually no starters back. But Boise will be playing on the road and it will be the first game of the season. What could go wrong? shrug

    Well, it wouldn't be the most embarrassing loss in the history of major college athletics or anything. They're a DI team.

  • It's a night game at the concrete parking structure known as SS. With all the returners on D + BSU breaking in 80% new starters = MSU win, going away.

    I think MSU wins. If they lose week 1, it could be a bad omen. They have schedule that could lead to the snow-ball affect. If they don't start the year strong, I could see them being 3-7 going into their bye week.

    Have you looked at MSU's schedule? They have a great schedule to make another run. ND, tOSU, Nebraska and Iowa @ home. Michigan and a rebuilding Wisconsin on the road.

    We're just grateful they pioneered the night game last year at that giant sanitation ditch in Ann arbor. Without that innovative and unique event we'd still be dependent on the sun. God bless Jabba the Hoke.

    Lol. Yea, except for all the Big Ten titles and Rose Bowls associated with that list. I'm pretty sure there was a big long thread on rcbm about Dantonio award. And you conveniently overlooked the BCS Bowl winner aspect.

    I think his point is that neither of the things you listed invoke any jealousy when UM fans brag about them. The Sugar Bowl is cool for the players and stuff, but you and I both know it's rose bowl or bust. Backdooring your way into what was dubbed the worst BCS game ever doesn't really make anybody envious.

    And on the topic of the game, MSU wins 28-10

    Pretty much sums it up.
