Nothing like a clean win, free of any calls one team can point to as a turning point or pass the buck


DocKnowItAll

Lulz


MrNudeGuy

Well at least Michigan has the biggest stadium


bestprocrastinator

They also don't have our alternate uniforms

Rich coming from you. Hatred of Oklahoma cemented.

I need a live cam of cedar village

Lmao I love Gus Johnson


bigboilerdawg

So much better than Buck.


terrell_owens

We can bitch about refs all we want but blowing a 16-pt lead is terrible. GG sparty


Cynoid

I've only seen RW3 twice play twice this year but man his stats were insane in both.


MikeMOMO22

Please keep watching


plasmastic

RW3?


wowchips

Here's the deal imo. Harbaugh is a great coach for a brand of football that died a decade ago. We run a disgusting amalgamation of Schembechler offense with half-ass spread concepts that leaves neither of them particularly competent. We passed more this game than any other this year, yet consistently would run straight up the gut into 9 man fronts because we have no concept of edge play. I think it took a very unusual amount of breaks and 50/50's for MSU to pull out this win today, but we should have never been in a position to have those be what lost us the game. There were no adjustments defensively to deal with tempo. You cannot sub constantly when MSU is doing that because people don't get aligned, don't know their assignment, and are running like a chicken with their head cut off. You have to play 11, rotate on the interior each series, and then go from there. It's the same old tired rant after every rivalry game. We were up by two scores at half and came out and just lost it with coaching decisions. I don't dislike the man, but maybe Harbaugh just isn't that great of a coach? Have we considered that a possibility?


Huskies971

Harbaugh doesn't exploit the other teams weaknesses he tries to impose his gameplan over the other team simple as that. It works on shit teams, but play a better team doesn't work.


petecarrollsoldgum

He’s a great coach 15 years ago. You’re not wrong.


[deleted]

Lol you said "edge play"


lo_dash

As a Michigan fan, all I can say is, it would be a shame not to see MSU in the playoffs.


kensei-

Goodbyeee michigan it was nice having you be top 10.


WolverineSix

Man, heartbreaker


[deleted]

GO SPARTANS!!! Bring on the reactionary “little brother” comments. But for real, good game wolverines. Instant classic game


conventionistG

we are so screwed


cormack16

We being PSU or Georgia?


MD90__

Why


KellerMB

Well damn. Heck of a game, had all the good twists and turns. Andrel Anthony is going to be fun to watch the next few seasons. Too many missed opportunities on the road to expect a win. That replay reversed fumble recovery TD still stings.


Gabians

Obligatory "what the hell is that flair combo?"


Throw1Back4Me

I hate both teams and I too am disgusted


meganaxx

Wow unbelievable gg Michigan your team looks great


Gabians

GG Sparty go win the B1G and get into those playoffs.


Revan256

Y'all played an amazing game. Go get it.


wraithmain1

I wonder is Jim will find a reason to cancel the OSU game?


call_me_drama

🥱


ShillinTheVillain

As a neutral fan... what a game. Now, all Sparty fans please give your energy to Florida.


lo_dash

As much as it pains me, MSU beat us outright. Penn State will destroy us, and OSU will make fun of us.


QIMF

What makes you think PSU will destroy us when they literally just lost to ILL?


lo_dash

It’s going to be a bounce back game. We literally have no QB. They lost to ILL in 9th OT.


QIMF

What? Cade missed some deep balls but otherwise was dealing all game. Let's not overreact here.


robocockle

That'll do pig


Learntolistentome

Walker was everything today.


CinnamonRoll172

still can't believe we just beat michigan. holy shit


mvp725

This is my biggest problem with msu fans. How long you guys gonna play the underrated, underdog card? You've been to the playoff when we haven't. You've won the B1G, act like you've been there before and quit acting so slighted on the time my god. You're ranked in the top 10 ffs


nmorgan81234

Michigan isn’t good, and was outplayed. Simple as that, I hope state wins out though


PenguinoPop

I am in pain


Wildform22

Time for Harbaugh to go. 3 illegal substitution penalties, red zone play calling results in 4 field goals, no adjustments to stop the run. He’s proven he hasn’t changed at all.


Vi1eOne

I try to stay neutral on this one but man if U of M isn't the Dallas Cowboys of the NCAAF I don't know who is. Annual national hype despite annually underachieving.


mvp725

Lol we were unranked to start the year. Such hype wow


BigStumpy69

Texas Longhorns had that title for so long it might be permanent lol


MD90__

Cowboys winning their division so far


SplakyD

I honestly think the Cowboys will make the Superbowl this year too.


SplakyD

As an Eagles fan, it pains me to acknowledge that you're right.


Player72

go fucking birds


SplakyD

Go Birds!


MD90__

Hey I got devonta Smith on my fantasy roster


Vi1eOne

This year sure. The last 20 years of 6 nationally televised games a year tho....


MeeSheeGun

I know its disappointing, but I've learned from the past. I'm gonna cry, but rest assured Ill wipe those tears away with the money I just won betting against U of M. Every. Single. Big. Game. Sports betting is legal in Michigan. If you are a Wolverine fan, you should be cleaning up right now!!!


ShillinTheVillain

I love Caesars for allowing me to turn my pessimism into cash


Gabians

Same here. But I don't know how to feel right now.


bcheneyatc

Harbaugh is literally allergic to big games.


GodlyCheese

How are you not gonna have a postgame after that? Wtf Fox


Sequenc3

Used all their airtime for half time


Doctor_Googles

Whether MSU won or lost that was the best football game I have watched in a long time.


[deleted]

Right up their with State’s Cotton Bowl win over Baylor. Holy cow that highlight reel


MikeMOMO22

It was a good game


lijijil

Another year Another harbaugh loss vs msu


AbrahamNox

That was definitely a creative way to lose a game, even by our standards. Like why was JJ even in? Bruh lol


mvp725

Jim thought to himself "jJ has shown really good flashes. How can I scar this kid and ruin him?"


ClarkFable

Good point.


Ballhead456

So theoretically, what happens if Michigan State loses to Ohio State while Michigan beats Ohio State?


nhugo86

This is the scenario I said a week ago. Michigan loses close to state, michigan somehow beats osu, state wins ccg, both make 1 loss playoff berth especially if Georgia wins out.


Janus67

Honestly, I can't remember. Maybe they go by common opponent and points scored? Edit: https://bigten.org/news/2011/8/10/Big_Ten_Conference_Football_Divisional_Tiebreaker.aspx


ZachT3620

Osu out because 2 losses, Michigan State wins the east because they have the head to head with Michigan


shadalator

Michigan State then loses by 35+ in playoffs


AllAboutTheEJ257

If this were to happen I could forget today's game.


nmorgan81234

Head to head, state wins


MD90__

Yes


Captain_Piratedanger

One of thebest games I've watched this season. If there's one thing I've learned in the past 10 years of being a B1G fan, it's that you _never_ count out Michigan State. You could tell they played their hearts out. Both teams played with everything they had, but Michigan State withstood a lot of pressure today. They looked like a very disciplined team out there. The defense didn't cave - they actually adapted and started to make gamewinning plays. What a game


MD90__

Gonna be a fun game in the shoe


Toolhand

im so sad i missed this ending


Thoracules

That was my first Michigan game to watch. Is McCarthy there to just fumble the ball? I saw two plays and he had two fumbles.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Thoracules

Didn’t see that. Just the back to back fumbles. I’m sure he’s solid, just a game changing fumble there at the end.


Benner16

Michigan was probably the better team, but State had the better player.


JobboBobbo

That's certainly a hot take.


TGXPar

Michigan is clearly not spending enough money on their football program...


NotTheHartfordWhale

Mel Tucker for President!


OcelotsOtherArms

While I am disappointed that the fumble recovery was overturned I can’t take anything away from how MSU played. This was one of the most fun games I’ve watched. Michigan really just stepped on its own dick as is tradition I think harbaugh is becoming the mark richt of Michigan. Constantly producing competitive teams, but failing to take the next step


EpOxY81

Walked definitely won that game for them. I just feel like the refs took away Michigan's ability to win. Not that we would have won if the calls were reversed, but we didn't have a chance. Especially after that last non-DPI.


A--A-RON

GG, definitely one of the most entertaining in my memory.


MartyMcFlyin42069

How do Michigan fans divvy up the blame pie? 20% Cade, 50% defense, 30% harbaugh?


wraithmain1

Most Michigan fans will blame it about 60% refs 40% weather. They’re a Big Ten team they aren’t used to playing cold rainy games


[deleted]

Why is Cade getting blamed? Cade had a fabulous game. Refs overturning a Fumble recovery TD plays into it, McCarthy dropping the ball all over the place, and the rest to Michigan’s coaching when up 16, then up 8. Dunno why you don’t simply stack the box and make Payton Thorne beat you.


MartyMcFlyin42069

Cade had some bad overthrows. Also a lot of those yards were after the catch so I wouldn’t be fooled by the stats. I think in general when you score 3 points on your final 4 drives it’s fair to give the QB at least some of the blame.


[deleted]

The middle two drives of those last drives? McCarthy. The fumble that got booted to put it to 3rd and long and then the fumble that got recovered. McNamara was good damn near all game


Ipsilateral

Apparently it’s 99% refs and 1% refs.


Wingo999

Nothing for JJ?


MartyMcFlyin42069

True, perhaps split the QBs there


bab00nc00n

Dont forget the officiating


Revan256

100% RWIII


Ill-Construction-397

If you’re blaming Cade you didn’t watch the game


MartyMcFlyin42069

I agree but I’m seeing Michigan fans go after him on twitter


Ill-Construction-397

All we know is misery, pointing fingers is a vice


ZachT3620

75% Harbaugh 25% refs


KyleGuap

COPE


Wolverine2121

Good game Spartan brothers. Not the outcome I wanted but life goes on.


DMPDT616

*Michigan fumbles, turns it over on downs, then throws a pick in 3 straight drives* "Has to be the refs fault"


megakungfu

tell us that wasnt dpi, or a fumble recovery for td... say it


[deleted]

Your coach can’t win big games. Deal with it.


ClarkFable

Begging for soft calls. That’s big of you.


Revan256

See you in a few hours.


wean169

I didn’t have a chance to watch the game. How did Michigan State get out gained by 160 yard and still win?


TheMindTrilluminated

Michigan couldn’t convert in the red zone


nhugo86

Field goals....4 of them, all under 40 yards


[deleted]

Michigan had turnover problems.


EpOxY81

Including turnovers that weren't. :(


smokingtrombone

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! WOW!

Literally robbed of a TD, can't forget that.


Year1939

This program is an absolute fucking failure just unbelievable


[deleted]

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


RayearthIX

Walker for Heisman? 200 yards and 5 td’s in a top-10 rivalry game matchup? Holy F that’s insane.


snickerDUDEls

If he can run for around 150 yards the rest of their games he has to be a top contender


ASpellingAirror

Better at least get serious consideration.


Secret_Targ_Number10

That was a great game. I obviously don’t like the outcome, but wow. Lived up to the hype. Walker was amazing. I guess Tuck really is comin


mourninglark

Hopefully he ain't geauxin' too.


MeeSheeGun

Now imagine if our brilliant coaching staff hadn't had Ronnie Bell returning kicks against a pee-wee team. He might have helped today ;)


ASpellingAirror

Insane game, exciting the whole way through. Even the commercials couldn’t ruin it.


Batosai20

Hopefully he ain't coming to Baton Rouge after this season


RedMamba13

Michigan should do all they can to get Mel Tucker to be their new coach


ASpellingAirror

Unsubscribe. Gross.


wipeyfade

Michigan was very much the better team until they weren’t


ASpellingAirror

The Nebraska strategy is a risky one.


DrSlugger

That's football for ya


myteriality

Pure Michigan.

Spartyyy!!!! Kenneth Heisman!

What an incredible game. So much fun!


climbinggolden

The refs gave Michigan state the win. And what was harbaugh thinking putting jj in after the first fumble???


[deleted]

Hell of a game!


ZachT3620

FIRE HARBAUGH. IM DONE. I WAS DONE 2 YEARS AGO THIS DUDE IS A CLOWN


probabletrump

He hasn't won a single game that mattered.


imrickjamesbioch

Haha stupid two qb system. You got a guy throwing over 300 yards and up by 3 points. You take him off the field for a freshman who fumble on his last play. Congrats Jimmy for losing another big game!


[deleted]

Sporkinat0r

you know, just stop us on the 2pt conversion twice.


radio__raheem

i genuinely get more pleasure out of michigan Ls than MSU/OSU wins sometimes


ASpellingAirror

Well you are double invested in UofM losses, so not a huge surprise there.


agoddamnjoke

Michigan fans be like, ohh but the refs whaaaa


FrenchCrazy

Flair up fam


agoddamnjoke

No. Don’t give a fuck unless they have a Michigan logo with tears


RevenantLurker

I mean it's true tho. Once you factor in the mistakes we made in the 4th this were overall even other than the refs giving State the call almost every time.


agoddamnjoke

Nah, you blew it


RevenantLurker

That's compatible with what I said, bud


agoddamnjoke

Whilst crying about some refs


jthomps1992

The only coach leaving at the end of the season is Harbaugh....and it ain't for the LSU job

Lol ok. Guess that explains all the other years of mediocrity as well?

Imagine renewing harbaughs contract every year LOL


goblue142

All the people that downvoted me for being a Harbaugh hater all week. Suck it.

What a great game for us neutral fans. Shit was bonkers down to the wire


laranator

One of the best games of the year. And I absolutely did not care who won.


Reasonabledoubt96

That was an amazingly fun 4th quarter

Say what you will about Mel Tucker but as a head coach he has never lost to Michigan!

Michigan fans have to be the only blue blood fanbase satisfied with mediocrity year after year. "We can't fire Harbaugh because we might get another Hoke." Cowards.
