It worries me that there's only two commits from Michigan at this point. I don't want to see Little Brother winning the state. MSU will never get to the level of Michigan on a prolonged basis, but if they were to come close it would be because they consistently win the state.

Right now Sparty has 9 commits from Michigan (six of which are 4* !!!). It's to be expected since it's RichRod first year in the state, but still, I'd like to see 5-8 Michiganders before its said and done.

I wouldn't worry about it. MSU has 9 commitments from in-state players, and Michigan missed out on exactly TWO of them, Edwin Baker and Chris Norman, who happen to play positions that Michigan isn't lacking in depth at. Other than that, what? Larry Caper? Doesn't fit RR's spread. Dana Dixon? No Michigan interest. Bennie Fowler? Typical MSU recruit that they stole from the MAC. Andrew Maxwell? Pro-style QB. Micajah Reynolds? Another MAC recruit that picked Sparty. Blake Treadwell? Son of an MSU coach.

If Cameron Gordon relents and agrees to play safety, he'll have a Michigan offer. Cass Tech's Thomas Gordon WILL get offered by Michigan at some point.
This SHOULD'VE been the year MSU cleaned up instate; Dantonio has a one year head start against RR. And yet Michigan feels bad about missing exactly TWO of MSU's instate commitments, and Michigan still beat MSU for the state's best player.
Don't let the delusions that the Sparties spew get to you. This is clockwork for MSU (with an extra second added on). Every five years or so MSU gets a boost from a new coach, and then they stink on the field and lose to Michigan.

What you are seeing there is the HTML source code, you shouldn't see that, but the web page starts with this line.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

so everything above that you shouldn't see at all, even when viewing the source. so you have some kind of script error.

Some Web browsers and Live Maps are incompatible, so what browser are you using? i looked at the map in both the latest internet explorer and firefox and it worked for both. I suspect the problem is somewhere in your browser setting to enable scripts to run. If you have more then one browser try another one, if you don't then try looking at your browser options and make sure you don't have something blocked that you shouldn't. try looking under tools and options( firefox), or tools and internet options (IE), and see if something don't look right. Not a lot i can tell you from far away, except play with your options in your browser.
IF your on a Mac, i know nothing.........

It's worth playing with to fix as the map looks really nice..

That is awesome. It seems there are just as many targets in SEC country as there are in the Midwest. I am shocked that they aren't going after more athletes in that high school football powerhouse state of Montana...
