Michigan, MSU fans donate 237 gallons of urine at 'Piss Off' for fertilizer research

For Trevor Peterson, the name alone was enough to sell him on the idea. Peterson and his friends waited in line for the "Piss Off," a research competition he learned aboutthrough social media. The name came up in the friends' group chat, and they instantly knew participation was mandatory while tailgating in Ann Arbor. "It's a little bit about the competition, but also at the same time, the competition is the fun part," Peterson said. "I'm also happy to provide research for the soil and fertilizer." However funny and gimmicky the promotion sounds, it worked. The researchers received exactly what they wanted: as much urine as they could get to turn into nutrient-rich fertilizer. The competition, organized by researchers at the University of Michigan and MSU, was designed for a process referred to as pee-cycling. Researchers at both universities are interested in extracting nutrients from human urine to eventually use it as a natural, nutrient-rich agricultural fertilizer. The fertilizer will be used at U-M's Matthaei Botanical Gardens and Nichols Arboretum and MSU's W.K. Kellogg Biological Station. In total, the "Piss Off" movement accumulated more than 237 gallons of urine. U-M fans won the competition by a final score of 137-100,

It is a full nine-game conference slate in the Big Ten in Week 11. The action gets underway with Friday Night lights from the Rose Bowl as the Big Ten-leading Bruins host the suddenly hot Fighting Illini. Among the other West Coast Big Ten squads, it will be a busy afternoon.

USC and Washington both head to the eastern time zone, where the Trojans face Indiana while the Huskies visit East Lansing to meet Michigan State. Here is our look at this week’s Big Ten action. Illinois Fighting Illini at No. 4 UCLA Bruins Friday, November 13 5:00 PM PT, FOX (Tim Brando, Devin Gardner and Josh Sims) Two of the four longest winning streaks among Power-4 teams will tangle in Pasadena Friday night.

Upcoming MSU football opponent loses star wide receiver for rest of season

One of the Spartans' final opponents will be without their top offensive threat for the remainder of the season. Rutgers star wide receiver KJ Duff reportedly had season-ending high-ankle surgery this week and will miss the remainder of the season. Pete Thamel of ESPN reported the notable injury news for the Scarlet Knights . Duff was arguably the best player for the Scarlet Knights, currently on pace for a second straight 1,000 yard season at Rutgers. He appeared in eight games and recorded 45 receptions for 774 yards and nine touchdowns. This injury news gives the Spartans a better shot at picking up a road win at Rutgers to end the season. Michigan State plays at Rutgers on November 28, which could very well have significant impact for a potential bowl game should the Spartans keep winning. Sources: Rutgers star wide receiver KJ Duff underwent season-ending high-ankle surgery this week. He’ll miss the remainder of the year. He’s expected to resume full football activities in January. pic.twitter.com/At0SmvdHcU — Pete Thamel (@PeteThamel) November 11, 2026 Contact/Follow us @ The SpartansWire on X (formerly Twitter) and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Michigan State news, notes and opinion.

Horsepeople of the Year: Paula Hitzler

I strongly believe that each incredible horseperson had a strong educator to guide them into the path of the equestrian world. Paula Hitlzer is one of those individuals. For over 36 years, Paula shaped, mentored, coached, educated and shared her passion for horses at Michigan State University (MSU) in the Horse Teaching and Research Center and animal science department. This past May, she retired from her position—but not without changing the lives of over 1,500 students, hundreds of equines, faculty, parents and equine professionals.

This Bizarre Michigan Restaurant Serves Deep-Fried Burgers And Chicken Gizzards That Keep People Coming Back

A whole burger goes into batter and then into the deep fryer. Guy Fieri liked the idea so much that the burger now carries his show’s nickname. The real star, though, is a chicken part many people skip. Gizzards get battered, fried, and served by the basket at a family-run tavern in Michigan. The same family has kept this place going since 1960.
