Answer: UPSET BY THE UPSET
(Actually, Michigan is ranked a little higher than Michigan State. Michigan is ranked #6, and MI State is ranked #8. And both teams are currently undefeated, at 7-0. But a lot of the early part of the season is played against the lesser teams. We are just entering the real meat of the season. The game is in East Lansing, so State should hold a slight edge. It’s one of college football’s better rivalries, and it should be a really good game. Big Ten football at its best!
All of today’s clue words are long time residents of the ralis95 clue word database. Three of the jumbles appear to be new, with “slepl” having definitely been used before. No real head scratchers today. The answer letter layout was a terrific twelve letter jumble. I believe that Butspepeyust is going to be the next pharmaceutical medication to hit the market. It’s the new miracle drug to treat hemorrhoids and anal fissures. Ask your doctor if Butspepeyust is right for you!
Great cartoon of – mainly – disappointed college students, leaving the stadium, after the big game. I think the one guy celebrating is about to get his butt kicked! Why is it usually the fat guy that ends up going shirtless? Do they sell beer at most college stadiums? So, I guess Jeff’s team is going to win by 1 this weekend. As long as it’s a win, baby! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

Are you a Michigan fan or a State fan? Answer carefully 🙂
Because I’m a big Penn State fan, I’m actually neither . . . and both, at the same time. I like the Big Ten, but I hate Ohio State. I’ll root for just about any Big Ten school – except Ohio State – against other conferences. But both Michigan teams are fun to root for. How can you not like the names Wolverines and the Spartans?! When they play each other I generally just want the most bowl worthy team to win. This year they were equal, so I just wanted a good game. And, it was! Someone had to win! — YUR

Are college football teams allowed to tie ?
Maybe before, lwc. Not anymore! I think they’ll play a regulation overtime, then they play these crazy red zone overtimes, where they take turns trying to score. If they both score, they play another until one team scores again and the other doesn’t. Earlier in the year Penn State lost a 9 OT game to Illinois! — YUR
