Big week perception wise. Michigan State is still Izzo coached and on the road. Never beaten them. I could see Michigan State as a slight Vegas favorite. Rutgers is better,but beating the most heralded blue blood on the road opens eyes. I still disagree with many and think that OSU has Top 5 Big Ten talent and also a great coach. Plus, this is the ultimate revenge game. Win both and what I perceive Monday to be 16 in the country will move down to 12 or so. Go RU!

Agreed. I watched MSU last night against Nebraska. Nebraska is a scrappy bunch, but they just don't have the cohesiveness or the horses. With that said, Henry broke out and had a monster game for MSU, but I think if we're going to finally beat them, this should be the game. They still don't look 'right' to me. Izzo is still trying to put the right pieces together out there. If we can win both of these games this week, I think we'll be back on track as far as the B1G conference goes.
As far as Coaches go I like Izzo and I don't mind MSU compared to some of the other teams in the B1G that I really despise (OSU and Michigan being #1 and #2) but I really, really, REALLY want to bury MSU on the road. I don't want a squeaker... I don't want a one possession game...I want TOTAL ANNIHILATION! I want a friggin' EXCLAMATION POINT!
That would make me happy.
I hope we use our depth to get OSU's Young in foul trouble early. He's an annoyance and imo plays dirty (e.g. foul against JY). And he will continue to do so until the refs read, understand and follow the rule book.
GO RU BEAT MSU! Then Beat OSU!
