Michigan has won three straight against Michigan State and, truthfully, it looks like the Paul Bunyan Trophy is going to be in Ann Arbor for a while.
So Sparty has to do whatever it can to make this game seem like it’s still a rivalry that Michigan really thinks about in between more important games on the schedule. Insert wide receiver Nick Marsh, who suggests that he has to avoid some sort of altercation when playing the Wolverines because the always-innocent Spartans just want a good, clean game.

Hmmm. Interesting coming from a place where guys were criminally charged for fighting Michigan players in a tunnel. nd let’s not even talk about the situation where Sparty tried to hijack Colston Loveland during the victory formation last season…
