More recent than Michigan’s (‘04) or Nebraska’s (‘99) last conference title in football, and a full decade more recent than those two’s "split" title in ’97. So least hockey has that going for it.

Down 4-0 early in the third.

"Always posing"

Who approaches a game against UM like it is "just another game." I get the criticism of how it can detract a bit from the home game atmosphere compared to, say, a 3:30 kickoff when people are a bit more awake and able to enjoy tailgating more leisurely before getting through security lines, but if you’re not on your feet screaming bloody murder on all the defensive possessions in this matchup no matter when it kicks then why do you even call yourself a fan?

Either way, guarantee the fans in Spartan Stadium this year will be absolutely incomparable in intimidation levels to the opponent by any level of logic versus the fans at the game in the Big House last year.

Should not get consulting advice from Dave Brandon. He’s better than that.

Essential Air Service flights can be on small single engine prop planes. A friend of ours here in DC sometimes uses them to fly home on his connection from Denver to northwestern NE, for example.

BFE is an airport code for Bielefeld Airport in Germany

Only have United or American as flight options then, clearly

It is pretty much the same thing. Which is what FOX cares about. It’s not what fans care about. But if fans come up with the funding and national exposure to replace network deals then they can likely start dictating kickoff times more.

Also, MSU doesn’t want this to be a night game. Complain all anyone wants to, but that’s not going to change.

Knew I was going to regret not trademarking that…

Is way more accurate looking this week than the prediction of Nebraska going there prior to the Minnesota loss. That was laughably absurd. At least Purdue still has a far more viable path to 8 wins left in the season than Nebraska did.

• Play a QB despite everyone in America clearly seeing he suffered a concussion on a prior play
• Let your team grab a tent stake you used for a pregame pep talk and drive it into their turf of your rival in front of them when they’re ranked No. 8
• Lose to Rutgers
• Lose to Maryland
• Schedule Appalachian State as your season opener 7 years later in the season opener so that is all anyone talks about whether you win this game or not
• Don’t wear a headset on the sideline for any games at all ensuring media focus on that, too
• Always wear a short sleeve polo shirt, even after Thanksgiving in Nov. when facing Ohio State

That was the first, and so far only, game in the history of the rivalry that was scheduled in primetime. Maybe they scheduled the night ceremony with the expected day game in mind?

Or, you know… don’t schedule it on that day period. Though, were they even connected to MSU or UM? If you’re referencing a central time kickoff, clearly the wedding wasn’t in the State of Michigan.

MSU also played Wisconsin in Japan after the Penn State game in 1993, making it the final regular season game rather than against PSU. Then in 2001, due to the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the Mizzou game was rescheduled for after Penn State. Finally, MSU played at Hawaii in 2004 following the Penn State game. Otherwise it was PSU every year as the regular season finale until Legends and Leaders in 2011.

Would be $284.55 today, an increase of 1,038.22% since it’s value at the time of sale in 1950. In my lazy efforts, the inflation calculator I found via Google could not go backways and tell me what it cost in 1820, supposedly the minimum age of the spittoon as I understand, though the exact year isn’t listed I’m aware of, just that it’s at least that old.

That $0.30 water jug would cost you $9.35 today, an increase of 3,017.16% over the past 118 years.

Sadly they are co-division champs, but just once. Yes, that’s actually a thing, but no nobody really brags about it as they shouldn’t.

Feel free to.

Bringing random girlfriend’s kids into practices while you’re losing on the field. It also wouldn’t tolerate completely blowing up the team with off-field issues over a WH visit following the national title in the middle of a summer of racial equality protests. This is hands down more than just losing on the field. Orgeron completely lost control of the program and turned it into a toxic locker room like the 2016 squad experienced and with no recovery in sight. Anybody claiming otherwise IMO doesn’t look under the surface at the program’s issues under Coach Oeaux.

That season ended with a loss to Texas Tech in the Alamo Bowl a few days after Mike Leach was fired. MSU seemed cursed to lose to a Big 12 program coached by an interim HC whenever the Spartans made the Alamo Bowl. Makes me glad the Big Ten is no longer associated with the bowl game after that season.
