This week the Threat Level reflects on a pretty terrible look for a heated rivalry.
I've been thinking a lot about what unfolded between players after the Michigan and Michigan State game,If you need a handy recap of how the Michigan offense and defense performed, the long and short of it was that they were par for the course for most of the season: run the ball a million times with success, don't ask J.J. McCarthy to do too much, stall out repeatedly in the red zone and settle for field goals, and rely on a stout defense to ensure a win.
And I think my point with the Threat Level this week is to point out that there's no"But..." that has to be written after the above sentence. There is no moral accountability sheet that we have to tabulate. Michigan State fans aren't required to bring up every offense a Michigan player or coach has perpetrated against the Spartans to somehow balance the scales of guilt when something bad happens.
Also it isn't very funny! Not that that's my biggest complaint, but look, while I'm as guilty as anyone in terms of making bad jokes about fanbases , I generally try not to do the Midwestern"just kidding, but also you can tell from my face that I'm absolutely not kidding" thing where I say some incredibly derogatory shit behind a half-laughing façade.
