So who wins the 2011 backyard brawl rivalry match up between the undefeated Michigan Wolverines and the one-loss Michigan State Spartans to take home the Paul Bunyan Trophy in this Saturday's football game, and by what score?

Two great defenses (according to their stats).  But Michigan's offense is just too much for anyone.  Big plays in every game.

Michigan 35-24

State 31-27.  Big plays against nobody, that's what all the Big 10 teams have for the most part.  It's about time they man up like some of the top ranked teams and take the cupcake games to a minimum.  I know those schools depend on the money they make, but talent shows when you play talent, not when you pit the Varsity team against the middle school team.

The Big 10 is awesome!!

The other conferences have a lot of envy. That's how I know the Big 10 is awesome.

Michigan is the winningest team of all time with the biggest stadium, the most famous fight song and the coolest helmets! I understand the envy. GO BLUE!

Michigan's head coaches have done an excellent job this year, especially with in-game adjustments. This will be a close game but MSU will see a much different team than years past.

With Denard and the adjustments UMs coaches with make in game it will be Michigan 27 and MSU 21

GO BLUE!!!

Too many personal fouls on MSU. They deserved them, but they would have won by a lot more without them. Tarnishes an otherwise good defensive effort against an overrated quarterback. Seven sacks. Michigan quarterbacks on their backs more than their cheerleaders.

GO STATE!!

That was a little disappointing for me. After the first drive, I couldn't completely figure out what our offensive game plan was supposed to be? It looked like experimentation almost? And it didn't work. I like this coach though and I like this team much better. I think we are close to returning things to normal again. GO BLUE!
