It seems to me that you are more defensive than about anyone else in this thread.
To point out where you were wrong about the Iowa game - yes it was boring up front but did you happen to notice that MSU put together a 22-play, 82-yard drive at the end of the game where they beat Iowa? It's laughable that you point to that last play as luck that got them the win - the true freshman ground out the last yard for the win. Seems more like you are still butt hurt over the UM loss in the final seconds and want to group these wins together to make yourself feel better. Don't forget that UM made a terrible call with that last play against MSU - that loss was very avoidable by your team.
And speaking of luck - did you realize that MSU is 36-4 for the past 3 seasons with 2 big ten championships? They are a legit team right now and it only makes you appear as sour grapes when you keep putting them down when the truth is that they are having another great season. Hell, I didn't even go to MSU (wife and family did) and we all cheer for UM when they aren't playing MSU. Everyone knows UM will get their turn soon enough with your new messiah, if he sticks around long enough...

I removed my teeth on purpose....if you catch my d
I am not sure how much clearer I can be in my statements. MSU won. That's the end result. The denial that they have been lucky is just homers trying to feel good about themselves and the luck that their team has had. I'm not sour about the Michigan loss. It happened and any non-biased person realizes that it was likely the luckiest and flukiest way a game could have ended. They got lucky that OSU decided to mail it in and almost lost still. Otherwise that game would have been 42 to 14. Again, any non-biased person realizes that. They got unlucky in the Nebraska game. The rule is very ambiguous and left room for the call that was made. MSU should have never been in that situation to begin with.
The problem I have with MSU fans is the massive inferiority complex they have. They haven't been beat by anyone this year, yet there's a conspiracy that Delaney wants to see MSU lose and wants UM and OSU in the playoff picture. After the Nebraska loss they were calling to leave the B1G and go play in the ACC. There isn't a single call against them that isn't wrong or a single big play that happens against them that isn't someone not getting called on a penalty. I realize all teams have homer fans who are like this, but it permeates the entire fan base for MSU. Like you said, 36-4 in the last 3 seasons yet, you'd think everyone was picking on them.
Last year they were legitimate. This year they got lucky. Stating the obvious and facts isn't sour grapes. It's reality. Denial as such is why their fans get so bent out of shape about the little brother syndrome they have.

What an awesome game down in Indy!! There was such a disparity in the crowd. Not sure if it was because Iowa had an extra week to plan for the trip or because this was the biggest thing to happen in Iowa sports for quite some time. Either way, glad MSU found a way to win. Time to turn the attention to Bama and Henry.

I'm going with that Spartans can't fill their own stadium so likely they don't travel well.

Yeah, and that's how they filled 60-70% of the Rose Bowl stadium when they played Stanford.
Serious question: did you borrow wide winger's tin foil hat, or are you just that ignorant and biased?

Biased?
Even your own coach has complained about the empty seats in the stadium. Number 2 team in the nation this year on homecoming and the stadium is half empty by halftime. Before halftime, the student section didn't even fill to capacity. A 2012 report showed the most loyal fanbase. UM was number 1. OSU number 2. MSU number 32. The only B1G team worse than MSU was Minnesota. It's not even this year that there have been noticeable problems. They've had it in the news the last few years. Why do you think UM went to the Sugar Bowl in 2011? Their record was good, but it wasn't as good as MSU's, so why did MSU get overlooked? Because the committee knows Michigan fans travel well. These are not facts that are disputable unless you're a Spartan fan. Then again, Spartan fans are the same people who think the B1G is out to get them and they need to leave for the ACC. I guess you can't compete with that level of stupid.

Nice of you to show up again. I imagine after the Bama loss we won't hear a word out of you till next year when your gums will start flapping again when they win a game. You should try sticking around and talking through the whole season, but that would involve you being a loyal fan so we won't see that. I can at least credit Swift that no matter what happens he'll be here for his team.

Yes, we get it. You don't like MSU. You're the quintessential Michigan fan. Jaded by the maize and blue so bad, you can't talk about what's best for the conference when another team locally is better than U of M. You won't root for MSU for the benefit of the B1G, you'll root against them just because you're salty.
Let's talk about luck, shall we?
- U of M/Minnesota - you narrowly won that game simply because the interim coach taking over for Kill didn't know how to manage a clock properly. Had he ran it out, you lose.
- U of M/Indiana - Took that game to 2OT to beat them. You nearly lost to a team that squeaked into a bowl game. Congrats.
On the other hand, how do you explain the stats against OSU? They dominated both sides of the ball, and kept OSU to 5 first downs all game. Had MSU not turned over the ball, the result would most likely have been 21-7 or 28-0.
Keep blabbing on about conspiracy against MSU and filling the stands. All are moot points coming from a pissy U of M fan. Who gives a fuck if they fill stands or not? At the MSU/PSU game, the stands were 95% full until they started pulling away. The student section filled up, and that was on a holiday weekend. Just because they don't cram 110,000 screaming assholes into a stadium, doesn't mean they don't fill them up. The only evidence I could find of anyone crying about people leaving was a U of M player bitching that fans left during the OSU game. But please, continue.
I'll root for the B1G now, no matter who they play. You can go cry in a corner and pray to Capt. Khaki for a better season next year.
