Weird how that game is a 630 start time

Also I like how Nebraska/Miami is on there, what is this 1994?

They still used UM-ND as the background for the whole slideshow because... well, that's still going to be the most-watched non-conference game, and the non-conference game most people will actually give a shit about. sorry.

People gave a shit in the 80's , MSU Vs Oregon is a Marquee match up this year. Fewer people want to watch boring, stagnate football :no:

Hey, don't forget about us, we used to be great, you can't have all of the attention, it has to be about us.

It's the Miley Cyrus of CFB matchups - horrible product loved by suckers who know nothing about football. After the game you can all camp out at the apple store and wait for the new iPhone. Pre-teen girls don't know any better, what's your excuse?

It takes so little to get Sparties off their couches, considering they don't get off them even when they are aflame. Just mention "Michigan" and watch the reaction. But they have the "#1 Non-Conference Matchup According to SI!" That's HUGE!

It is a pretty dumb article, no doubt. There seems to be a lot of this garbage this time of year but lets not ignore the "reaction" the OP got from the wolverine puppet/troll - at 1:18am.

This lull before the storm is when some of the most inane material surfaces. Imagine having to write that stuff. Speculation is the worst sort of journalism, which is why I suspect there is so much of it these days.

I couldn't agree more - seems like most of it is just content for the sake of content. The business i'm in is pretty slow this time of year but when I see stuff like this I'm reminded it could be worse - and even more soulless.

It should be a good game just because of the conflicting styles. Personally, I'm not too excited about it though. 6:30 on a Saturday....probably won't watch.

And pro msu or anti michigan comments are so well received on your board, right?

 

[JScottWriter]

I would have thought the Michigan v. Miami OH would have been #1. They are going to have fireworks after the game for god sakes.

ND playing in Ireland made sense.

not sure what the PennSt - Ireland link is. Maybe child abuse?

We are nothing but gracious, forthright and magnanimous.
