Siblings quarrel. Who doesn’t want bragging rights? To be the best in the family?
Michigan and Michigan State are friendly rivals. Outside of this Saturday’s game, many Michigan fans wish the Spartans well as they play the rest of their schedule and especially as they play Penn State and Ohio State in November. Rivals nonetheless, the Wolverines look forward to dispatching the Spartans with efficient, no-nonsense, high quality Big Ten football prowess.
The Detroit Free Press has been working hard to pump up this game, attempting to convince readers that Michigan’s greatest rivalry is with MSU, and we can understand the impulse.
