Latest news and updates about the Michigan
If you were (un)fortunate enough to be able to watch the entirety of Michigan State’s 20-17 loss against the Iowa Hawkeyes on Saturday, you were blessed with an interesting case study of the Jonathan Smith era at Michigan State University.

Another day in the life of the Big Ten in FEAST WEEK: Rutgers sucks, USC’s mediocre, everything else…eh. FEAST WEEK DAY 1: RECAPS Players Era Festival I’m increasingly angry about this tournament—not specifically because Michigan routed San Diego State and ran up the score, but specifically because the nature of “18 teams playing a fucking […]

TheBuckeyes beat Rutgers by 33 points with both starting wide receivers (and a key backup receiver) tied behind their backs on Saturday. Ohio State’s 42-9 rout of the Scarlet Knights took a while to build up some steam, but the defense’s continued bludgeoning of opponents eventually let the offense catch up. Julian Sayin made good […]

One of the wilder stats was brought up ahead of Wisconsin’s trip to No. 1 Michigan State this weekend: going into the series, the then-No. 7 Wisconsin Badgers were 9-2-2 all-time on the road against the top-ranked team when they are also in the top ten.

What a weird football experience. After two gut punch losses, the hardest part of this game was going to be getting up against a 3-7 opponent that looks destined to finish 0-9 in the league, Michigan State’s first winless campaign in Big Ten play since going 0-5-1 in 1958. For 55 minutes Iowa looked like […]

No, seriously. I get it. Penn State is only 4-6 with a 1-6 conference record – but just snapped a 6-game losing streak which included three losses against teams currently in the top 10 and just-nudged-out Iowa. They just narrowly missed a huge upset against Indiana and handled a Michigan State team from which Nebraska […]
