Couple important items.. I cannot attend the game..  Important family obligation….. Mrs. SpartyMSU turns the Big Five Ooh…. But, will be listening via Spartan Radio / TV Network from “Up North”…  A mans got to do.. what a mans got to do…. And frankly, some things are more important than football. Not many.. but a few…

So, Your first person comments and thoughts from the game is requested  so I get a better idea of what happened.. Please send to [e-mail]

SpartyMSU’s football scout brother from Annapolis Maryland was on a reconnaissance mission to Wisconsin’s campus in MadTown.. only to get stuck at the airport by The President's plane on Tuesday…  Finally was able to leave, and after sobering up,  gave some insight to the Badgers…

Do we think the Spartans can beat the Badgers.. ??
Hell Yes.. and the Top Ten Reasons Why…

"

1) The stats between the teams are very similar year to date… Including the strength of schedule and power rankings of their opponents
2) Wisconsin has 1 rushing weapon.. John Clay with 503 yrds in 77 attempts..
3) Spartan’s have a Three headed Rushing monster with LeVeon Bell (410yrds, 48 attempts), Edwin Baker (460 yrds, 57 attempts), and the now health Larry Caper (in 2 games 50 yrds and 12 atts.)


4) Spartans have allowed opponents 2.7 yrds per rush, Wisky has allowed 3.5 yrds.
5) Spartan’s have 6 ints., and Whisky only 2..
6) Spartan’s pass D: they have more Breakups and deflections…
7) Whisky has a single main target to throw to: Lanc Kendricks with 17 grabs for 299 yards. Spartan’s have again a choice of three leading receivers: B,J, Cunningham 14 catches for 190 yrds, Keshawn Martin for 14 catches 185 yards, and Mark Dell with 10 catches for 172 yards.. Mix it up Baby.. Yeah…
8) Wisky lost 7 fumbles, Spartans only 5….
9) Spartan’s have 6 guys with over 20 tackles… Wisky None.. Zip.. Zilch…
10)  Game is a “White Out” Spartan Stadium.. Home Game
11)  Greg Jones: Big Ten’s “D” player of the Week again ….
12) Coach Mark Dantonio in the HOUSE…… !!!

"

I expect a game that will be fought in the trenches.. It looks like the Badgers are a power team, as usual... The Spartans have the ability to share the ball more between players both in the air and on the ground, this gives MSU a distinct advantage..

A slugfest of a game, scoring in the low but still double digits for both teams…

This is a great opportunity for the Spartan to beat a National Ranked team.. They can and will beat the badgers… 

SpartyMSU Game Prediction:
MSU   31
Wisky 27

Send me your thought and comments after the game.. since probably will be watching from Shorts Brewery in Bellaire Michigan…

Sparty On !!!
