It’s unusual to say in the wake of a 4-8 season and fourth straight loss in the rivalry, but Michigan State’s fanbase appears to be the happiest major fanbase in the state right now.
Michigan can safely be described as a mess right now. The Wolverines recently fired their head coach, Sherrone Moore, after it came out that he had an inappropriate relationship with a staffer. The story was compounded by Moore’s subsequent arrest for allegedly breaking into the staffer’s apartment and threatening to commit suicide.
UM’s search to replace Moore hasn’t gone well. Alabama’s Kalen DeBoer and Arizona State’s Kenny Dillingham were the hot names for the vacancy, but they don’t appear to be options now after the Crimson Tide beat Oklahoma in the CFP, and with Dillingham signing an extension with ASU. Everyone seems to be guessing what Michigan will do next.
