I could take the Wisconsin loss. I dealt with the Ohio State loss. The Penn State loss? Still coping but I was getting through it. Losing to Michigan? Nope. Cannot handle it. Absolute despair is being inflicted on my fandom. Michigan State’s loss to in-state rival U of M not only crushed the fanbase, it will also cement MSU as one of the teams at the bottom of the Big Ten Power Rankings from the Detroit Free Press, where they are currently stuck at number 9.
Here is what the Free Press said about the Spartans:
“There was a time this season when Michigan State was ranked. Hard to believe, right? Spartans haven’t won since late September, and in many of their recent games they haven’t been competitive. Take for instance Michigan State’s 44-10 loss to Michigan last Saturday. That one turned ugly – much like the mess Mark Dantonio’s program has become.”
Yikes.
