The Title: The most important thing to play for is Michigan is playing for an outright Big Ten title which is very important. We have not had one in a long time.
The Rivalry: After that, it all about beating a rival and for us fans that may be even more gratifying. We all know some Sparty fans. We all know what happened last fall.
Change the Narrative: If this team can put a world class beat-down on MSU twice (maybe three times) in five days, we can change the narrative about the dominant programs in the Big Ten. Push MSU into the lower-tier.
Get In their Heads: Sometimes you beat someone and they begin questioning each other and themselves, Finger pointing starts. Lots of negative energy. "Is it time for Izzo to step down? That is a good thing for us.
Look, I know that I sound like I'm being vengeful and spiteful and hating, all the things they tell us in church not to do
I'm really a kind, warm generous person most of the time.
But not tonight. This can be a catharsis. A cleansing of bad vibes and negative energy.
"Run it up Juwan, leave no doubt"
