After the Skunkbears ND will face Michigan State, so out comes the ND history vs MSU history post.
It won't be pretty for Michigan State.
Once again, the ND Stats:
Overall Record: 831-285-41
Overall Winning Percentage: .736
National Championships: 13 (varies from 9 to 13 pending the source, but we go high-end here for obvious reasons, right?)
Bowl Game Appearances: 29
Bowl Game Record: 14-15
And onto...
Michigan State's Football History Summary:
Overall Record: 612-422-44. Compared to ND? Pedestrian.
Overall Winning Percentage: .588. Comparable to ND over the past 10-12 years, one of our worst runs ever.
National Championships: 2. It is hard to imagine a program that plants flags, hires John L.-let-me-slap-myself-Smith and rumbles when others plant flags on their turf ever coming close to winning a MNC, but they claim two. Fine. ND crushes them.
Bowl Game Appearances: 19. Again, a far cry from ND.
Bowl Game Record: 7-12. Wow, significantly worse than ND in post-season play. And ND isn't great here.
A landslide crushing for ND over MSU in the Tradition/History department. Let's replicate that 2010 style!
