Michigan State used to be one of those rare Big Ten schools that I didn't hold a major grudge against. They hate Michigan just like we do, managed to knock off Ohio State at inopportune moments for the Buckeyes, didn't recruit the same players as us, and generally didn't spoil our moments in the sun.
Then came 2004, when Sparty steamrolled a 9-0 Badger team in Lansing that turned a special, overachieving year into just another good season. After that I got rid of all the MSU gear Jana's uncle John (a Lansing native) had given me.
Then came this February when, right after the Badger basketball team ascended to #1 for the first time ever, Drew Neitzel and his menacing (ha!) glare brought down Bo's crew at Breslin. Kam Taylor's clutch shot won the rematch at the Kohl, and we beat them again in the Big Ten Tournament, where, Andy and Nick will relate, I completely lost my mind momentarily and started yelling in tongues at Neitzel and his parents. (They didn't hear me, we were in the upper deck.)
As for tomorrow's game: who knows what to make of State? They beat Notre Dame, but everyone will this year. They beat Pitt, but Pitt is coached by Wannstedt. They seem to have two good backs - one of whom killed us three years ago - and a defensive stud named Jonal St. Dic. (Another holier-than-thou alter ego for Burch?) Dantonio is just what the program needed after the John L. Smith Looney Toons debacle.
This morning's line has us favored by 7.5 points, and most pundits have us winning by that or less. I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is a game where everything comes together for all three units.
UW 33, Michigan State 10. No disrespect to State, but we're due.
TD: Two touchdowns (to Swan and Graham)
PJ: 110 yards rushing, 1 TD
Smith: 65 yards rushing, 1 TD, 80,000 people wishing he could make the trip to Champaign next week
Shaughnessy: Big breakout game. State overprepares for DB blitzing, UW drops seven against Hoyer most passing plays, DL gets a couple coverage sacks

Finally, after researching thousands, a Blog I can relate to.
. No comment re Michigan State - still trying to figure out where I was when the yelling in tongues episode occured
. Is it just me, but isn't anyone else disturbed by Prince's open, vocal hatred of his father? What does that say about HIM?
. Talk about being torn, how can I be expected to support the Catholic League's boycott of Miller products?
. Sheet's has been undeniably fragile throughout his career. However, his teammates seem to really stand behind him and that wouldn't still be the case if he were a real leaker.
. Does anyone really think Yost would be so stupid as to risk our whole season by going after Pujols? (I do)
. On a separate note, I remain disturbed and almost sleepless these last 2 nights upon learning of Jana's dislike of baseball. And to think that she had almost become my favorite daughter-in-law.
. On another separate note - How does one find time to post info in a Blog at 2:30 pm on a busy work day?
Remeber, we're still very young and if it doesn't happen now the experience should do them a lot of good in the future. It's just that the division was so easily winnable this year.
I had the unfortunate experience of watching about a half of the MSU-Pitt game. Sparty looked HORRIBLE! Does this mean that Bucky gets it rolling tomorrow? Man, I hope so. In the 3 games I've seen (v. Citadel was the no-go. Damn you, BTN), I've enjoyed about 10 minutes. And that may be an overstatement.
