This is the first year, I believe, that Michigan State’s football team can lose to Michigan without eating crow. That’s not to say losing wouldn’t crush the Spartans or sting their fans, or preclude an uncouth Wolverine from rubbing it in at the water cooler on Monday. But, by and large, the Spartans have finally won themselves out of the perpetual argument that their control of this rivalry is a fluke.
