It’s another edition of Michigan-Michigan State week, and for what it’s worth, it has seemed less volatile this year. Haven’t really heard the usual nasty barbs thrown back and forth. Maybe that means the two fanbases have reached a level of civility. Uh, no. That’s taking it a bit too far. Perhaps both fanbases are being cautious. That might be more like it. Michigan has a lot of pressure heading into this one considering Harbaugh’s much-discussed record against rivals Michigan State and Ohio State, and Michigan State has dealt with injuries and an offensive line that hasn’t been exactly sound and hasn’t given talented quarterback Brian Lewerke much time to do what he can do.
