There was NO blocked punt! Little brother. SMH

Is costing us this game.

Why the **** didn’t we kick a field goal on the last series. And, if you do go for it, why the **** run a slow developing run up the middle. And then get paid $10 million a year.

Why!!!!

UM does it. Guarantees a win. Typically, the less competitive the game, the fewer injuries to starters. B1G play itself is tough enough.

Gather round

It’s time for him to sit and never see the field again!!

Where is it?

Spartans up 1-0 after 1. Jagger Joshua with the put back on a rebound

The refs are making this a one sided game. This is basically a d!ck sucking fest with the broadcast team for UM and we are playing against UM at home. Everything stacked against us and we finally started a game without giving up 20+ yards on the first defensive drive. This game will be in Thornes hands because our defense is awake today.

So I’m going to preface by stating I’m posting this because it allows me a place to release a little.

Im going to be watching the game by my Dad’s bedside in the hospital. He is more than likely not coming out, and he really won’t know the game is on. But it’s probay the last game with him, so I don’t care.

Win or lose, I’m going to enjoy the game with my Dad.

I expect the upperclassman from Detroit to play well tonight. Get tough yards btwn the tackles, used in the screen game and most importantly pass blocking to give Thorne time.

Just have a hunch that if the Spartans pull the upset that Elijah will play a big part, doing the stuff that goes unnoticed.

You do understand that going national in today's climate means spending more money than Texas A&M, Miami, Oregon and the likes.

You do understand that kids that do not live within BIG footprint are way more likely to transfer when they face any adversity.

When you go and get a kid from 1000 miles away at the expense of a kid almost just as good who is 200 miles away you are probably going to have to play against the kid who is 200 miles away.

I am all for going after good kids not from Midwest, but the idea of MSU not having Ohio/Michigan and Indiana and Chicago area as 50% or more of focus is just foolish IMO.

Why have Cincy and Kentucky become relevant in college football? They each have have a dozen kids on roster that could/should be at MSU. I think some on MD"s staff got a bit lazy on recruiting trail and that is partially why a change was needed. How easy would it be for MSU to recruit the 4 hour footprint coming off 11-2 season? You are the top close option. You go into Texas, you have to deal with A&M $ and Baylor and Ok State were both 12-2 last year as well and way closer.

You do not need to beat OSU for Ohio kids, but you do need to beat everyone else. You split the state of Michigan and get the best in Ohio that OSU does not want. Then you spend some NIL to pick some kids from down south. That is how you end up with a roster like 1999 or better yet 2013-2015.

Just look at the run of WR's MSU had when they got it rolling

Burbridge
Lippett
Cunningham
Martin
C. White
B. White
Fowler
Dell

How many of these guys were offered by OSU?

Oh and the RB's

Ringer
Scott
Langford
Bell
Baker

TE's

Celek
Price
Sims
Gantt

I am not trying to start another "Ohio" thread. I am just pointing out that when the talent level is very close. The local option has to be weighed in the equation. Not only are they less likely to demand big $ to come to local school, but they are also less likely to transfer when faced with adversity (Which probably 75% of player deal with at some point).

Did MSU even go after Jaquez Keyes hard? I mean his coach is a Rose Bowl STUD Spartan and he is going to Wisconsin? It will be interesting to see how Ryan Caretta makes out at Pitt considering most say we were not ready to accept his commit. Have to think with Jeff Pietrowski playing at MSU that MIchael Kilbane would have given MSU a very serious look. Are any of these kids looking to flip from commits with their teams have sub=par years or even getting rid of HC? BTW, I would be putting feelers out to just get Darius Taylor up to East Lansing for an unofficial for the Rutgers game and then maybe try and lock in an Official 1st or 2nd week of Dec. Word I had was we did not push hard early on.

The CMT/CMD comparison stuff.

They are both different in their own way and have done well in this rivalry. But, I have long thought that Coach D had a “Saban” effect when it comes to this rivalry, meaning the structure in place will long last Coach D.

Can’t wait for tomorrow night! I think this team plays with a fire we have yet to see this season.

Go Green!

Post your score, as if you have $$ on the game-closest to the actual score wins the pot.

UM 34 MSU 17

48-0 vs. Oklahoma State.

He's been wrong on multiple calls all day....says PSU has the ball on the 25...only 10 yards off. Called the wrong down on multiple plays... Lee Corso isn't this bad.

38-34-2.

NO one is superior in this rivalry.

We shall see...

SET THINGS RIGHT. As Dantonio said in the locker room pre M game.

Ouch

hopefully better tomorrow

Good stuff from Jacoby Windmon today.

Illinois looks pretty good.

Bielema is HUGE. His gravitational field could snag a small car or people with braces.

with ZERO touchdowns and in FOUR OVERTIMES!

TIed in end of regulation 6-6

1st & 2nd overtimes - Both teams kick FGs
3rd overtime - both teams fail the 2 point conversion try
4th overtime - Miami converts 2 point try and UVA fails

For me, my first fall as an alum—

Eddie Smith and Gibson. We were doormats and on probation. Funny, Gibby was really, really fast, but looked average as he was so big.

What a huge upset---

Michigan had beaten Michigan State eight consecutive years, and then entered the 1978 game ranked No. 5 in the country.

Many expected more of the same.

Until, that is, the first play of the game for Michigan State -- an incomplete pass, albeit one that opened some eyes.

"You remember it?" Kirk Gibson asked. "I just ran a straight bomb right by the guy, and Eddie Smith overthrew me, by an inch! I was gone. We kind of served notice right away."

While MSU missed a field goal on that first possession, it scored on its next three, took a 17-0 lead into halftime, and ended up shocking the masses at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, with a 24-15 victory.

Michigan State used the Michigan triumph as a springboard to finish the season with seven consecutive Big Ten victories, and at 7-1, the Spartans tied for the Big Ten championship -- with the Wolverines, who went to Pasadena while MSU was wrapping up its third and final year of bowl ineligibility.

GO GREEN!

My UM buddy and I were talking about the game and I said my hope lies in the belief that MSU has the best player in the game. His response was “who is Jayden Reed? There’s no way he’s better than Blake Corum” How do you know if you don’t even know who he is?! I can’t stand talking to people who don’t know anything about any team other than their own. This week brings out the worst in people…

They learned who Antwuan Simmons was. They learned early and often who Kenneth Walker was. Here’s hoping they get a similar lesson on Saturday!

Growing Green, a 19-part series on MSU football history. Episode 16 is the Bobby Williams/John L. Smith era.
