** 2023 Opponent Preview : Michigan State (Game 9) **

Scott Frost would have been proud of the way Sparty blew that game over the course of 5 minutes of game time. 

Probably would have been ecstatic with Oregon's outcome as well.

What if he’s innocent?

He just might be innocent.

If he's innocent,  then that indicates an even greater dysfunction at msu than if he was guilty. 

Probably makes them a pariah on several levels.

Yeah... I don't think so. Team Tucker got slapped with a restraining order after selective cherry picking and leaking those text, which they some how obtained from a deceased person's accounts. And the fact that they're trying to bury them with supposedly 20,000 other documents smells fishy.

This is old. The new "evidence" that they released on the day that Tucker skipped his hearing, appears to be mostly irrelevant and/or speculative.

This has been discussed in more detail in this thread:

Understood, didn't see that thread.

One of my poker buds just dropped a pair 2nd row balcony tickets on me! I love games in East Lansing, reminds me of Lincoln.

Sparty fan: Thanks for coming out to the game. How far of a drive is it?

Me: (offers Big Red gum) 45 miles!

I'm going for the first time this year.  Any must visit places or things to do? We're going to swing by the bug house on the way from Detroit and walk around to say we've been there too.

In the Detroit Metro or East Lansing? Detroit has lots to do if you want to spend some time in the metro, and it's only an hour 30 drive to East Lansing if you speed like everyone else  :lol:

The Michigan thing to do in the fall is hit a cider mill and have some donuts there (Yates has the most pillowy soft donuts around, but is busy and could be out of your way).

In Detroit I would definitely try to hit the Henry Ford Museum (it's more than just cars). DIA is a great art museum downtown if you're into that. Tons of great food and beer all over! Don't be scared of downtown Detroit it's pretty safe and has really changed for the better.

I watched a video/vlog about the Ford Museum.  Would definitely love to visit that place.  So much cooler than I was expecting.

My wife takes her class there every year for a field trip.  She said it is really cool.  I told her I want to go in the summer.

I spent a week in Michigan last year.  A few days Detroit then up to Traverse Bay.  People in that state drive like madmen!

IMHO, second only to the Smithsonian

Having been to Ann Arbor several times can definitely confirm.  It’s basically the Daytona 500 there.  Pretty bad.

We are staying in Lathrup Village I believe, and hitting the Red Wings game that night.  I was looking for ideas for Friday and Saturday around the game, so I will check those things out, thanks for the info!
