Photologue: Michigan State 73, Eastern Michigan 14

Now, that was ugly.  Michigan State 73-14... The ES has gotta admit... he wuz pretty close, guessing a 62-14 MSU hammering.  Here is a brief photologue:

Not even Jesus could help out Eastern on this gorgeous Saturday... 

This was 49-0.  Still 2 minutes left in the second quarter.  My daughter says, "can I use the bathroom?  I'm bored."  The bathroom did sound more interesting... so, we left.

This was Eastern's only chance: "what a beautiful day for football!"  It was 0-0.

Just a beautiful day.  70 degrees and sunny.
