Michigan's Graham guarantees win

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) -- The Michigan State-Michigan rivalry is relegated to provincial appeal this season because both teams are unranked.
Within the state of Michigan and for both programs, however, much is at stake.

The players wearing green are out to prove they're not the same old Spartans. The once-mighty Wolverines insist want to show they still own the series.

"We are not going to lose to State," Michigan defensive end Brandon Graham told reporters Saturday following a 46-17 loss at Penn State.

Two days later, Graham's teammates didn't fault him for firing up Michigan State more.

"He wanted to guarantee a win. We're going to back him up on it," defensive tackle Terrance Taylor said Monday.
Oddsmakers aren't counting on that happening.

Michigan State (6-2, 3-1 Big Ten) is a 5 1/2-point favorite to beat Michigan (2-5, 1-2) for the first time since 2001, when T.J. Duckett caught a touchdown pass with disputed time on the clock, and for the first time in Ann Arbor since 1990, when Desmond Howard dropped a pass in the end zone after he appeared to be tripped.

Why, when you're 2-5 and have lost to Toledo, would you mouth off? Hopefully Brandon Graham will remember this next time he decides to issue a guarantee.

He's smiling. Holy lord! He had to turn away from the cameras to avoid it! That's incredible.

Meanwhile, RichRod had an epic frown. Epic. Just epic.

Great win for Sparty.

What a horrible shame that such a great humble group of young men led by one of the classiest coaches of our time have been unable to have a season like they deserve

Yeah, 2 wins is twice (at least) what they deserve.

I blame Wiscy for blowing that lead.
