Regarding the 2001 T'J' Duckett Last Second Win

First of all, guess what UM fans, you lost the game this article refers to. When you lose a game, good sportsmanship means saying congratulations to the winner and trying harder next year. Good sportsmanship is not whining about referees, clocks or the sun in your eyes.

Now, we as Spartans know we suck this year and have for awhile now. But you know what? There is a good feeling being the underdog. We don't have a whole lot left to lose, while you UM folks are just hoping that you can go into the OSU game undefeated in the Big Ten.

Everybody keeps mentioning App State (and they will for years to come, by the way) but what if you lose to us lowly Spartans who have only two wins in the Big Ten over the past two seasons so far? App State may not feel so bad.

I hope Hart plays, I hope Henne plays, I hope the weather is perfect and the last ten minutes of the game mean nothing. I hope State plays like they are capable of playing and we finally have something to smile about this year. But hope can only get you so far, Hoyer has to step up and make the snap decisions we all know he can and the defense has to stop Manningham and stop giving up the long run. They can do it.

Two overtime losses and losing by three to Wisconsin tells me that if it comes down to it, it's our turn to win the close game at the end.

SPARTY EATS WOLVERINES FOR BREAKFAST

Prediction = MSU 27 v UM 24
