Not sure we will ever be able to catch them in football. They just have way more boosters willing to throw away millions on entertainment from semi-pro athletes than we do. TBH, just being able to poke out their chest and say 'we're better' means way more to them no matter what money it takes to be able to do so.

They are better in football for now and likely next few years- they fund it better
Basketball was a wash as we swept them but they were able to advance farther in the Tourney
Baseball was a wash. We won the series vs them and both of us eliminated in a Regional Final.
September starts a new season and more battles

Yea but MSU eliminated OM from postseason contention in basketball. And then MSU did the same to them in baseball.
Yea we're gonna suck in football this year, but if the pattern holds - then a win in the Egg Bowl will knock them to 5-7 and then a loss to MSU will have ended all 3 of their seasons. Its the little things.

The two schools have flipped back and forth for years and it will continue to be that way.

The gap in football is closing.
Their schedule is easier but that flips in 2026.
Thanksgiving will be competitive again this year. Closer than 2024.
