I'm sure this has been covered, but why the fuck did we get a bye week 2 again?

Because potato salad.

Bama dropped us for this week. We add BYU on our original bye week, week 4 which left this open

I think

I don't think that's right. But I do like potato salad.

Take a look at next years schedule. We don't play week 1. 2 Mac teams then ND, Iowa, @UM. 4 straight home games in 4 weeks to start the year after the Week 1 bye. Only 3 home games in Oct/Nov

I forgot to buy mustard potato salad at Meijer on Friday. What's a long holiday weekend w/o potato salad? I'll tell you what it is: It's un-American, is what it is.

Why Michigan State is on a bye this week and the conundrum for 2017

I might have missed it in the article but is there a conference rule against grabbing, say, Indiana and saying "hey, let's open the season against each other and each enjoy a bye in week 6?"

And if a home game for Indiana, go play it in Indianapolis.

Or Northwestern/Illinois, and play at Soldier Field.

I think

with the way we handled Furman, I can see why Bama wanted to drop us from their schedule.

Fuck Saban. Because of him, we'll be forced to play 12 consecutive weeks this year, and then 13 consecutive weeks next year.

Yes, I'm counting the BTCG both years, because fuck everyone else, we're still going. We'll just be banged up and tired, and beat everyone by a little less than we would otherwise.

With the way we handled Bama I'm surprised they didn't try to set up a lifetime series.

but we won't complain and whine about.

That's one thing we never, ever do.. whine and complain.

Dumb to schedule Bama in the first place as well as having ND.

Dumb maybe. But at least it wasn't chicken shit.

MSU should have scheduled Cadillac Christian School for the Sons of Christmas Tree Famers like UM did in 1908.

I want both Bama and ND.

What a shitty schedule 2017 is for season ticket holders

CURRENT 2017 SCHEDULE
Sept. 9 — BOWLING GREEN
Sept. 16 — WESTERN MICHIGAN
Sept. 23 — NOTRE DAME
Sept. 30 — IOWA
Oct. 21 — INDIANA
Nov. 4 — PENN STATE
Nov. 18 — MARYLAND

Seriously only ND is a marquee game, and fuck the B1G for keeping sacred the year end Michy/OSU game but pushing the Penn State/MSU game around in the schedule. That last game thing just gives the Buckeyes a late win.

I figure if we win the games that we play, we'll be in good shape.

I remember when TAMU was supposed to be on the schedule for around this time. I think. I would love to see MSU v. TAMU.
