The Michigan Wolverines and Michigan State Spartans meet on Saturday to renew one of the pettiest and most intense rivalries in college sports, which tends to bring out a lot of nonsense from both fanbases.
Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel and Michigan State athletic director Bill Beekman released a joint statement on Thursday afternoon encouraging decorum for both Wolverines and Spartans faithful ahead of Saturday’s contest with the nation set to be tuned in to what takes place.
To the fans, families, and friends of our two great universities,
On Saturday, November 16, at noon, our two programs will meet for the 112th playing of one of college football’s great rivalries.
