Wojo’s Pigskin Picks: UM, MSU straining to get up for Brutal Backyard Brother Brawl

DETROIT — So we’re gonna do this anyway, for no good reason? We’re gonna split the state out of habit and spite, summon past grievances and get all frothy again, huh? If we’re still doing this, we’re gonna need some help. If we want to tout Michigan-Michigan State as the biggest rivalry in the entire Washtenaw-Ingham County corridor, we need to see some stakes. And no, not the little tent stake a Michigan player planted in the Spartan Stadium turf 12 years ago, right before the Wolverines laid down and got flattened. It’s gotten so nasty with all the taunts and Tunnel Tussles, some suggested the rivalry needed to take a break. Maybe this is it, a pause for the cause, with two first-time head coaches, dozens of first-time players and no real identity for either team, other than their stubborn reluctance to score touchdowns. I’m not saying there’s little buzz for this one. I’m just saying bragging rights have been downgraded to nagging rights. I’m saying you’ll have to dive deep into the Internet to find the game on one of those streaming services with all the schmaltzy shows that no one watches. For the rest of the nation,

Michigan football faces massive media backlash after loss to MSU

It wasn’t just a terrible display on Saturday at The Big House, it was outright disenfranchising. Michigan football wasn’t just lifeless against rival MSU , but the Spartans found new life in all areas, despite being perhaps the most banged up team in the Big Ten. The moribund Wolverine offense was on brand, but not in a good way. The defense was subpar, at least compared to the resume Michigan had produced so far. Considering the Spartan offense entered the game, statistically at least, even worse than the maize and blue's, even allowing 15 points to that outfit has to be deemed a failure. There were a large number of bold reactions to Michigan's 15-6 loss by media types and those within the Wolverine ecosphere, including several former players . Here are some of the best we could find on X.

Michigan falls flat against UConn in national title game rematch

BOSTON — If the Wolverines needed a reminder that this is a new season and they’re going to have to prove themselves all over again, they got one. In a rematch of last season’s national championship game , No. 20 Michigan was done in by an 18-4 run over the first and second halves and lackluster outside shooting in an 85-77 loss to No. 5 UConn on Friday, Nov. 6 at TD Garden. Trey McKenney scored 22 — all coming in the second half — J.P. Estrella had 19 points and nine rebounds, and Roddy Gayle Jr. added 18 points for Michigan (1-1), which trailed much of the way and was down by double digits most of the second half. “I think (the team) is going to keep hearing it everywhere that they're defending national champions. And as I've said for two months, this team isn't defending the national championship; it’s trying to establish their own legacy,” Michigan coach Mike Boynton Jr. said. “I think today was a great step forward. … I actually think we got better as the game went on. They were just a little bit better than we were for most of the game.” BOX SCORE:

The Eastern Michigan University women's basketball team opened its season on the road against Appalachian State University, demonstrating flashes of high-powered offense before ultimately falling 74–62.
