Michigan captain Mazi Smith has been charged with a felony gun offense. So when can I expect to see the think pieces in the Detroit papers about U-M's cultural problems?

Professional Michigan ass-kisser John U. Bacon has published a series of anonymous Michigan employees' firsthand accounts of MSU players' and coaches' conduct, and it's awfully transparent.

An LA-based lawyer retained by one of the suspended MSU players says eyewitness reporting proves a Michigan player started the fight in the Big House tunnel by swinging a helmet and throwing a punch first.

It'll take generations for this rivalry to shed the black cloud of Tunnelgate. So how do we go back to before? Here are some ideas.

Harbaugh, as well as Michigan fans and media (which are often one and the same), are holding MSU players involved in the tunnel fight to a higher standard than that of Howard and Schembechler. What a shock.

Over the last half-century, the team that wins this one particular statistical category in the annual rivalry game has emerged victorious nearly 90 percent of the time. But just how predictive is it?

Corporate greed and gluttony could keep Lansing-area TV viewers from seeing this weekend's rivalry game. There are alternatives for those impacted, though.

Michigan has beaten MSU by 23 or more points just five times in the last 45 years.

Many say McCarthy at starting QB would give Michigan an explosive vertical passing game. But the numbers over the course of Jim Harbaugh's head coaching career say otherwise.

No wonder Michigan fans won't shut up about things that happened before the advent of the personal computer — many of them were around to witness that ancient history!
