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!

Cool! You're not far from Royal Oak then, which means great food and beer almost anywhere on Main Street or Woodward.

Red Wings will be fun. I think the Q line is still free so you can hop on that from the arena to Campus Matius or vice versa. It's is a popular gathering spot with shops and some chain and local restaurants around it. It's also 3 blocks from the Spirit of Detroit and Joe Louis Fist statues.

Big House is alright and Ann Arbor is cool. It's a college town a lot like Lincoln, but more posh and snooty. Frita Batidos downtown is a good spot to eat if you want something hip and unique. 

Can't help too much with East Lansing. Only been there once and all I did was tailgate. I think Cherry Lane Park was the happening tailgate spot. Was like 20 or 30 bucks to park in the grass. If you see people throwing beer cans on the ground then join in! People come by and pick them up for the bottle return deposit.

 
Michigan State might be just slightly better than Purdue (who might be the worst team in the B1G), but they're still a pretty terrible team. Like Purdue they're now 2-6 after today.

They played one great non-conference team (Washington) and lost that one, obviously.

But then their only two wins were against Central Michigan & Richmond. They're terrible, and they don't have a conference win yet.

Nebraska playing a B1G team nonetheless with only 2 wins on the season for the 2nd week in a row.  Talk about a red carpet. 

Never would have thought we would see the league in this much disarray and frankly this bad after Mich, OSU and Penn St.  Weirdest year since we've been in the league imo.

With all the new teams coming into the league next season it could get even stranger. 

It definitely will be tougher.

There is definitely a sharp drop-off after the big 3. One could argue 2012 was a bit bit more weird, but for different reasons with Ohio St. and Penn St. being ineligible. Hey, remember when we were in a championship game, favored by 12? Yeeesh.

Next year could be an absolute free-for-all circus.
