IF MSU beats Illinois this will only help Michigan's chances to win the Big Ten title outright.
If Illinois beats MSU, that will mark a 3-game losing streak where Tom will have to enlarge his ever-expanding excuse machine.

Remember when Mark Dantonio had a chance to win/share the Big Ten title if we beat OSU and they beat PSU (neither wound up happening), he was asked who he was rooting for, and he said “Go Buckeyes.” I do—it revealed him as someone who cared more about hating his rival than about loving his own team, in other words, the quintessential “Spartan Dawg.” With all due respect to those who think differently, I don’t want to be that.You disappoint me, DJuan. 🙁

MHoops1 said:while I agree with your overall reasoning here - I also do like to root for what I would call "ultimate opportunity" . Since Michigan controls its own destiny , and would have to face Illinois on the road as the only match up of the season .... how sweet would it be to get the Illinois monkey off our back , at their place , and then close down the big 10 title at home vs. Sparty ? Would not mind one bit if Illinois continues to win , making our matchup with them an even bigger game than it already is.Then I am going to disappoint you too.

I hope Illinois beats them by 30 and we just win all of our remaining games. Is that too much to ask?
