Five years ago (1980) their record was 3-5 in Big Ten, 3-7-1 overall. I don't have data from six years ago (1979) other than Michigan beat 'em 27-7. Three years ago (1982) they finished 4th (6-3), behind Michigan, Ohio State, and Iowa. > Purdue winning record last three years in a row; tied for second place > in the conference last year. Two years ago (1983) their record was 3-5-1 in Big Ten, 3-7-1 overall. Three years ago (1982) their record was 3-6 in Big Ten, 3-8 overall. > Michigan State winning record last three years in a row; beaten Michigan > twice in last four years. Last year (1984) their record was 5-4 in Big Ten, 6-6 overall. Two years ago (1983) their record was 2-6-1 in Big Ten, 4-6-1 overall. Three years ago (1982) their record was 2-7 in Big Ten, 2-9 overall. The scores for the last eight years: Michigan Michigan State 1985 31 0 1984 7 19 <--- 1983 42 0 1982 31 17 1981 38 20 1980 27 23 1979 21 7 1978 15 24 <--- Looks like 1 of 4, 2 of 8 (counting this year) (and 2 of 16 going back through 1970 I might add) > Most of these folks are NOT weak. One should know what one is talking about > before they make asinine statements. Unless one is very stupid, of course. No comment. And by the way, where do you get your "information?" Mine comes from the U of Mich "Gridiron Guide" books from the past few years. These guides are published by the U of Mich Athletic Department and are therefore totally unbiased :-). -- joe malnar, {ihnp4,cornell,tektronix,etal}!uw-beaver!ssc-vax!malnar
