Found October 23, 2008 on Ghosts of Wayne Fontes:
With the "BIG" game fast approaching...I'm taking a deep look at just what this all really means. Honestly, never has a game like this meant so much, for so many utterly stupid reasons. We get it, Michigan is in a down year and State remains somewhat of an enigma. However, the reality that soon sets in - is that if State can't win this one, they're never gonna beat Michigan. So, let's just tap it right off the bat and let me explain to you why Michigan will finally friggin' lose to State.

And believe me - I've been waiting since 2001 for this weekend.

Laws of Nature: Yup, it's just about time that Michigan State waltzed into Ann Arbor and left with a victory. In fact, the Spartans haven't won in the Big House since 1990. Yes, your eyes do NOT deceive you a?" that's going on 18 long years. Ouch! Well, if ever a Michigan team was ripe for the pickens and vulnerable this is it. Streaks are just meant to be broken and although State has flirted with winning at the Big House maybe once over that time, the gut says this is it.

Rich Rodriguez is an Idiot and a D-Bag: Congratulations Michigan you completely revamped the Football program after another "supposed" disastrous season under Lloyd Carr. You opted to toss aside your old school stagnant offense, stale thought process, along with part of your tradition and hopped into bed with Rich Rod.

How's the spread offense treating you thus far? Oh wait, I know a?" Rich Rod just needs to get bring in "his" guys and then the system will make sense. The one problem is nobody in there right mind can honestly think Rich Rod will be around long enough to flourish if the once proud University of Michigan program fails to even qualify as Bowl Eligible. One can accept taking a step back if it means eventually taking a greater step forward. However, under the Rich Rod era a?" the program hasn't taken a step back a?" it's fallen backwards on it's ass into a ditch.

Of course, at least when Rich Rod leaves offices vacant it's a smooth transition. I mean he left very little mess at West Virginia a?" oops a?" I've hit a sore spot. Yup, Rich Rod is the complete opposite of anybody you'd ever imagine to coach Michigan. And just happens he's the complete opposite of Mark Dantonio. Just another reason why Michigan will lose.

Javon Ringer Won't Be Stopped: Senior season a?" one last chance to FINALLY beat Michigan. Do you think Ringer isn't up to the task? Coming off his worst game of the season a week ago, the Wolverines will simply have no answer. He'll punish the Michigan defense the same way Chris Perry and Mike Hart to name a few have done to the Spartans in their final game of the rivalry in the past.

Michigan Sucks: They do. Plain and simple. If we thought Appalachian State was the apocalypse, how can we can we categorize this season? They're 2-5 and the outlook is no brighter down the stretch. After the Michigan State game, three of their next 4 games are on the road. And the lone home game is against #22 Northwestern. Seriously, 2-10 is not out of the realm of possibility. Years from now Toledo players will always be able to brag that they beat Michigan at the Big House. Oh yes, who could forget the amazing comeback against Wisconsin, but wait the Badgers suck too!!!

Michigan Fans are Fair Weather and they're Still Assholes: Silence. Crickets. That's what you hear from Michigan fans this season. At first it was excuses like "oh, we are in a transition period" or "we don't have the talent." All the while, don't lie Michigan fan, despite the loss of the famed Senior class a?" you fully expected to at least be fighting for a Bowl Game. Yet, now that filthy swagger and arrogance is gone. Hail to the victors my ass. Most Michigan fans have taken on the usual Spartan response "I don't care a?" I just drink for the games." Yeah, sure of course you don't carea??LIAR!

They Simply Deserve to Lose: If exhibits one through five weren't enough I can't help. This is for all the bull-shit Spartan fans have had to endure over the years. Simply put, fuck being the step-brother a?" we're gonna win this game. You damn well know you don't deserve it and therefore we'll take it.
