I'm angry. Why am I angry? Because the Associated Press ruined one of the best jokes I've ever come up with. This week is rivalry week between Michigan and Michigan State. Tensions are high and records are on the line as both teams come into this game 7-0. The coming schedules are going to be difficult for both teams, so a win this week will mean a lot toward the end of the season.
So here's how my joke this whole week was going to go:
"Why is 6 afraid of 7? Because 7 is undefeated Michigan State."
Get it? Because I (like many others) thought since #7 Penn State and #8 Oklahoma State lost, Michigan State would naturally move up to the #7 spot. Thus solidifying my joke. But noooooo, for some reason the AP moved Oregon who barely won against an unranked UCLA up from #10 all the way past MSU to the #7 spot. Fuck those guys. I'm convinced that the Associated Press is full of a bunch of dipshit payed off lobbyist who want to piss me off.
I somehow want to blame Joe Biden for this, but I'm not sure how I can make it his fault yet. Anyway...... this should be a great weekend of football. The last time Michigan and Michigan State played each other while both being ranked in the top 10 was 1964. Huge implications for this game as both teams are eyeing a shot at the Big 10 championship, a longshot for each but definitely possible. 16-9
Fun fact for this weekend. Michigan state is 16-9 when ranked in the top 25 going into this game against Michigan. 10-2 when going into this game ranked in the top 10. I'm not a gambling man (at least not a good one) but I was I'd put my money on MSU pulling this one off, especially with home field advantage.
Don't get me wrong, Michigan is looking really good lately. Their defense is sound and their offense can put up some points. I still don't know what to think of Harbaugh, and I honestly don't think anyone else does either. And after watching freshman backup QB J.J McCarthy's mobility last Saturday against Northwestern, I believe that Michigan may get to a Championship caliber within the next three years. But not this year. This year belongs to Heisman hopeful Kenneth Walker III and the rest of the Spartans squad.
Recap
Fuck the Associated Press, they can lick my taint. Bet on Sparty to take the dub. Also the Paul Bunyan Trophy is too small, the trophy should be the statue that's up in Ossineke, MI. It's over 25ft tall and weighs 11.5 tons. Now that's a trophy.
Projection
Spartans - 27
Wolverines- 21
