I watched the game first half every cutaway was a late Spartan victory. Looking back on Spartan greats. Showing all the unranked wins vs top ten Michigan teams.
Only butthurt State fans could claim the announcers were pro UM.

Dantonio is a great coach and the Spartans have been good for a decade. Still why would State be favored coming off a losing season. I thought Michigan was overrated do to how few returning starters we have. QB play has turned out to be the biggest problem.

I am a rare Michigan fan that always pulls for MSU unless they are playing Michigan. I live in South Carolina so I don't deal with Spartan fans much. So I think I have a pretty reasonable perspective. State fans love to claim they are disrespected. The facts are historically UM , OSU , PSU , UN are the legacy programs. Wisconsin is next because of consistency. Somehow Wisconsin are never butthurt after big wins. It is like they expect Michigan fans to bow down and get mad when that does not happen. I do not see it with Clemson and South Carolina or Alabama vs Auburn.
I never looked at Sparty as little brother not as good yes . I expect MSU fans to think the same way.
The little brother mindset is not a Michigan thing its the Spartan fans obsessing over UM and looking for respect they already have. Poor Spartans go 3-9 and expect to be ranked high like it matters.
