We are rapidly getting to the point where Michigan State's season is essentially circling the drain. While there is always person pride to play for, there is little else left.
For me, though, I still enjoy looking at the betting metrics and the overall college football landscape as a whole. Also, there is still a chance that Michigan State can make a Bowl game, which if nothing else gives me another set of data to analyze.
Then, of course, there is the continuing insane drama down in Ann Abor. I took some time this week to read through the letter that the Big Ten set to Michigan. I think that it is even more damming and serious than I originally thought. I go into some detail in the article, but it reads to me that this is not the end, it is only the beginning of the punishment.

There was also a section that I cut out of the piece to keep it a little shorter (and perhaps less controversial) but I thought that I would share that part here. Consider this a Dr. G&W director's cut:
"While the substance of the cheating scandal is very bad, the way that the University of Michigan has responded to this scandal has been even worse. The initial response to the Big Ten was laughable, but the University continues to double-down on their own increasing stupidity. The Wolverines seem to be physically incapable of accepting responsibility.
The idea of trying to sue the Big Ten to overturn or block the clearly symbolic three-game suspension is akin to a toddler trying to call grandma when mom puts them into time out. Letters from Michigan lawmakers, public statements from Michigan's President, and threats from the reagents to leave the Big Ten are flat out embarrassing.
Yes, Michigan, please feel free to leave the Big Ten for the SEC. Be our guest. You will not be missed. Also, if you think that you haven't gotten a fair shake in the Big Ten and that your new home in the south will be more equitable, you might want to review some of those quotes from Coach Harbaugh in 2019 about how it's "hard to beat the cheaters" in the SEC. I am sure that they have forgotten all about that."
