  Ooooh you got me. I'm a puss for not playing in a random, free, internet message board football pick 'em. Get a life dude.

  So are you saying one of them (Purdue or Michigan) will finish top 4 in Big Ten? I will take that bet for an avatar.

  I'm saying ND has played better competition than MSU through two games, if you think they haven't then there's no hope for you. ND is tested against good teams, I mean they are from the "massive" Big 10.:rolleyes:

  Lots of football left to be played but I wouldn't be in shock if Michigan finished in the top 4 of the Big 10. I mean, it's fathomable.

  So why even respond to my shot to your kidneys unless it really did sting a little? Its early in the season Webfoot and you've gotta whole lotta mo' shots comin your way before Nov 27.

  That's what I was going for...

  If ND loses this game, i am jumping off the Brian Kelly bandwagon.
  
  MSU is an absolute joke of a program, and i despise them. Please put a whooping on them.

  Dantonio is actually a solid coach and Michigan State does better than people give them credit for.
  
  2006: 4-8
  
  Then they hired Dantonio:
  
  2007: 7-6
  2008: 9-4
  2009: 6-7...five of those loses were by a possession.
  
  They have the 20th-ranked class, according to Scout. Things have been looking up for the Spartans lately.
  
  That said, I hope the Irish bash those dirty dickheads into the ground tomorrow.

  Well, it's certainly a losable game as it is a typically tough opponent for ND and it's a night game on the road so the College Gameday crew (all of them) picked ND to lose. No biggie there, but then they all said that ND probably won't win again until they get Pitt in South Bend. Wow. I mean, that could happen but I'd be extremely shocked and disappointed. I know I'm an ND fan and all but I don't think they look THAT bad. Geez. I'm not ready to chalk up the game at BC as a loss already. Tonight probably won't be easy, Stanford looks really good so far and BC doesn't look bad but I think ND wins at least one of those 3 games coming up on the schedule. I guess we'll find out soon enough.
  
  GO IRISH!

  It's raining up there, it's a saturday night game...
  
  I have a feeling that MSU is going to get a giant lead then lose the game in the end.
  
  
  Sound familiar?
• karen lotz

  

  While that was an exciting game, I think I'm ready for a Notre Dame game to not go down to the wire. Its been a loooong time since they were able to put a team away. Still take that kind of win over a loss.
• killer_ewok

  

  Less than an hour til kickoff! GO IRISH!

  Any updates on the weather in Sparty Land?

  if it's still raining, edge to Sparty

  Can't disagree with that thinking. All they do is run the ball right at you. And they're pretty damn good at it too.

  Only a 10% chance of rain for the next 5 hours so we should be good.

  I picked ND to take this one....I still think they will, but it'll be tougher in inclement weather

  The good news is the weather in East Lansing appears to be pretty decent for the next few hours.

  Gotta go with Eddie if you are right.

  I don't think it is impossible, but I think Ohio State, Iowa, Wisconsin and Penn State will all finish ahead of Michigan. To me, Michigan is still a year or two away from top 4 in the Big 10. And with the addition of Nebraska next season, maybe further. The defense is too suspect IMO.
• vball10set

  Sparty can't get any pressure on Crist, and to make matters worse, they have nobody that can cover Floyd OR Rudolph..nice drive by the Irish

  I think ND will win, but I am rooting for Bell the running back from Michigan State, he is a true freshman and has played damn good through the first 2 games, and so far this game he has the longest rush.
