Somebody has to start this. Dave Dye of the Detroit news got in the first shot.

Ouch.

Sunday's Michigan-Michigan State game, by the way, will start at 1 p.m. now at the Breslin Center, not noon as previously scheduled.

The early line has Michigan State as a 79 1/2-point favorite. I'd pick MSU, but that 1/2 point could be the difference.
If you're an MSU fan that's comical.
If you're me he's a prick.

Anywho - throw everything out in this game. UM showed Wisconsin they can run with good teams if they're hitting shots. Big, BIG if.

I predict MSU by 16.
