Raise your hand if you looked at the schedule when it came out over the summer, saw a meeting between MSU and um in late February, and thought it would be for first place in the Big Ten.
If your hand is up right now, you’re lying. But here we are, 15 games into the conference schedule (14 for um), and we have the Spartans and the animal that does not even inhabit this state going at it on a Friday night with the winner walking away as the conference leader.
Certainly, both fan bases are surprised at how their respective seasons are going.
