It’s rivalry week here at SB Nation, and in the Great Lakes State, there is only one rivalry that matters: Spartans vs. Wolverines. While this heated rivalry literally spans three centuries and all sports, the most visible way that these two great universities measure themselves is on the gridiron every fall, where they compete for the Paul Bunyan trophy.
As usual, Michigan alums and fans love to talk about this rivalry. One of the first things that they will mention how they don’t really consider it a rivalry at all. That’s weird, because, they sure love to give their opinion about MSU, pretty much all the time.
