We all know why they don't want to talk about the last three, but the first 23 aren't as well known. Turns out they were the worst team of that era and, well, MSU was the best.

Two grizz wins over MSU came in 69-70 when they were caught paying players who weren't working. Those were also two the years they made it to the postseason and won the league. So what little success they had was due to cheating.

And now you know ... The rest of the story.

Right...both schools can selectively choose eras over which they were dominant.

Sure! Cuz when you include the first 60 years MSU moves ahead in national and league championships and bowl games.

I have some grapes I'll sell you for the same price even though they've gone sour.
