The dislike is still there. If not the traditional stakes. Unless you count this as the rubber match between Mark Dantonio and Jim Harbaugh.
If this is the last time they coach against the other, then Saturday’s outcome at Michigan Stadium would give one of them bragging rights; they’ve split their four meetings in this rivalry. Though I suspect Dantonio doesn’t intend to go anywhere just yet.
The Michigan State football coach arrives in Ann Arbor leading a 4-5 team, and leading a wounded, wobbly program.
