Fortunately, the Gophers return home for a week. How to WatchTV: BTNTime: 2:30Stream: FoxSports.com I know that Michigan State is 0-5 in the Big Ten and the Gophers are undefeated at home this season. But the Spartans have played a fairly rigorous conference schedule facing four teams who have been ranked at one point this […]

Michigan State @ Minnesota Preview

I decided to make the cover photo of this article a shot from the last game MSU won. That was back on September 13. This is probably the least motivated I have ever been to write an article on this site. My enthusiasm for the Michigan State football team is completely drained. I will do […]

The Northwestern field hockey notebook, Week Nine

For the third season in a row, Northwestern field hockey has outright possession of the Big Ten title! A 3-1 win over No. 14 Michigan got it there, while a dominant 7-0 showing against Ohio State was the cherry on top. Let’s talk all about it. Winning the Big Ten used to be monumental for […]

The Monday Perspective after the Iowa dumpster fire

Things don’t feel quite as bad a day or two after Saturday’s embarrassing loss. TMP doesn’t typically dwell on the past; we’re mostly ready to move on to Michigan State. But PJ Fleck is now 1-8 against Iowa and that is a trend we would like to see reversed. How does a loss like that […]

Game Thread: Michigan State Vs. u*m

Today is the only game that matters. Our Spartans have lost three straight in the rivalry, and there has been a high level of drama involved in those – everything from cheating scandals to post game fights. Today’s game is at 7:30 and will air on NBC and Peacock. If ever there was a game […]

Week Nine Big Ten Power Ratings

The Big Ten might be worse than I originally had predicted. The bottom of the conference is so horrifyingly bad that I get sad writing about it. Penn State, Michigan, and Illinois aren’t on par with the top three of the conference. All it means for Hawkeye fans is an abundance of upward mobility. Here’s […]

Week 9 Big Ten Preview

This week’s highlights include a pair of big rivalry games as Minnesota goes to Iowa for the Floyd of Rosedale and Michigan State hosts Michigan. I supposed Purdue-Rutgers could also be considered a rivalry game, as both teams are definitely rivals this year with “winning Big Ten games”. I am also curious to see if […]

Michigan State vs Michigan Preview

Hail Mary, full of grace. We are going to need some Pope Leo prayers in this one. The hated rivals find themselves headed to East Lansing with a big smile and that cocky swagger that is a constant in their color scheme. Granted, many times it is unwarranted, but depending on the Walmart sale items, […]

Grading the Game: Michigan

Michigan beat Washington 24-7 in Ann Arbor last Saturday. Let’s just jump right into it: Passing Offense – 4/10 Quarterback – 4/10 Offensive line – 5/10 Receivers/tight ends – 6/10 Three picks is three picks, and Washington is unlikely to win many games losing the turnover battle 3-0. Now, one wasn’t Demond Williams’ fault, but […]

Vikings Declare J.J. McCarthy Isn’t Ready Yet (And I’m Calling Shenanigans)

The J.J. McCarthy situation continues to be weird. McCarthy, whom the Minnesota Vikings traded up to select in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, is set to miss his fifth consecutive game because of an ankle injury. The University of Michigan product suffered an ankle injury in the team’s Week 2 win against the Atlanta Falcons. However, there is a belief in some circles that McCarthy’s injury is actually an excuse for a soft benching. And while I do not dabble in conspiracy theories, ...

Michigan Bounces Back, Defeats Washington 24-7

Michigan came into Saturday’s game against Washington with its season at a bit of a crossroads. After losing – and losing badly – to USC the previous week, the knives have been out in Ann Arbor.

Team of the Week: Michigan State

Like a lot of teams, Michigan State had its fair share of turnover. And like a lot of other teams of its ilk — blue-chip programs — it brought in a ton of talent to compensate...

Indiana football head coach Curt Cignetti announced that Indiana could be without Kellan Wyatt for the rest of the season after the defensive end left Saturday’s contest against Michigan State with a knee injury.

At 7-0 with a 38-13 win over Michigan State Saturday, Indiana has moved up to the No. 2 spot in the latest AP Poll. This is, for the second consecutive week, the highest ranking in program history.

Michigan State Drops 4th Straight, Falls 38-13 To Indiana

Things got off to a surprising start in Bloomington. After Michigan State took a touchback on the opening kick, the first play from scrimmage was a 3-yard loss on a Makhi Frazier run. That was not the surprising part. Next play was a checkdown to Frazier for no gain. Still not the surprise. On 3rd […]

Washington overwhelmed in 24-7 loss to Michigan

Amidst a season that eventually ended with downing Washington in the National Championship Game, Joel Klatt often described Michigan as a boa constrictor. A team that squeezes the life out of its opponents slowly, but surely. It happened to Michael Penix Jr’s Huskies in that heartbreaking defeat. It happened again Saturday, with Klatt in the […]

I will be watching college football again today. There should be some really good games on, including Ole Miss at Georgia. Notre Dame vs USC could be interesting. For the Big Ten, there’s Michigan versus Washington, Penn State versus Iowa.
