It’s rivalry week here in the great state of Michigan. The Wolverines and Spartans square off under the lights in East Lansing on Saturday and yet, the fanfare seems about as dull as possible. In a normal year, nerves and anxiety would rule the days leading up to the game on both sides, with a large amount of bantering between fan bases in between.
Yet, everything feels different in 2023. Michigan State is having a historically bad season while Michigan is undefeated with larger fish to fry. The talent gap seems immense with no signs of changing.
