Thy shall loathe thine Irish. As chimed by Shane MacGowan and his Pogues:
"We had one million bales of the best Sligo rags
We had two million barrels of stones
We had three million sides of old blind horses hides,
We had four million barrels of bones.
We had five million hogs, we had six million dogs,
Seven million barrels of porter.
We had eight million bails of old nanny goats' tails,
In the hold of the Irish Rover.
There was awl Mickey Coote who played hard on his flute
When the ladies lined up for his set
He was tootin' with skill for each sparkling quadrille
Though the dancers were fluther'd and bet
With his sparse witty talk he was cock of the walk
As he rolled the dames under and over
They all knew at a glance when he took up his stance
And he sailed in the Irish Rover"
So, the halftime show for the MSU-ND game is... the Pogues! For the first time in recent memory, Michigan State University has decided to hand over its halftime festivities to the trovelling band, The Pogues - in honor of our Irish guests. So, with a spoonful of sugar, and a pint of Guinness, let's break down the realities of Saturday:

- Lewerke's name (MSU QB) is not Irish. Actually, after spending 25 minutes in The Riv trying to figure it out... I have no idea where the hell he is from - other than it ain't Asia. But he will live a long time, pending any issues with a bus or train:
- So, here's a nice pic of South Bend, home of Notre Dame University (below). It explains everything. Crappy town, it is near (or in) the home of the National RV Hall of Fame!!! I wonder what their role is in Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, Maria, etc? Using a Donald-ism "we will be the GREATEST WHITE TRASH ON EARTH! MAKE WHITE TRASH GREAT AGAIN!"
- And, on and on we go. Here's some predictions:
Predictions:
- RGM3: 28-24 ND
- Greg (go back to GVSU homie): 35-24 ND
- Joe (from the Italian Stallion who got laid today on snapchat): 28-17 MSU
- Brock: 28-24 MSU
- Leslie (hottie from Riv): 21-17 MSU
- Deb Chang (hottie from MSU HALE): 24-20 MSU
- Matt (from Iowa): 23-20 ND
- Keith: 24-23 ND
- Paul (Australia): 23-17 MSU
- Kelly (Butt :): 27-24 MSU
- ES sez: MSU QB Lewerke underrated, ND overrated (each year). No Fly Zone back in play... Home, 80 degrees with humidity. On natural turf. Picking out 4-leaf clovers. Dear Sweet Jesus...It's simple. MSU 23, ND 21.
