Ben Newman post to CMT and Spartans

Ben was in EL again this weekend on the sideline with CMT and the team.

After a month, Groundhog Day finally ends

Just like in the movie Groundhog Day, I thought the same Saturday was going to play out exactly the same way as it had for the 3 preceding Saturdays:

UM easily dispatches their opponent in the early game as Joel Klass nauseatingly fawns over them.

Followed by MSU falling behind 7-0 and then never having the lead, and eventually losing in embarrassingly clown-show fashion.

But even though this Saturday began by playing out the exact same way...finally...mercifully...gloriously...the outcome finally changed. And I felt exactly like Bill Murray, as seen here:

OFF TOPIC: Seat Location

Would you rather sit in the first few rows of the upper deck between the 40-yard lines or about row 40 in the lower deck between the 40-yard lines?
I am only able to attend one game each year and this year it's Indiana. I usually sit in the first few rows of the upper deck (section 123 or 124) which gives me a nice bird's eye view of the whole field. This year stub hub has reasonable tickets in the lower deck around row 40 in sections 23 and 24 so I am thinking about trying that for a change.

Think we would have interest?????

Dame DL Jacob Lacey plans to transfer​

Notre Dame defensive lineman Jacob Lacey plans to sit out the rest of this season and enter the transfer portal in December. Fighting Irish coach Marcus Freeman announced the news Thursday morning, and then Lacey tweeted his decision.
By not playing any more this season, Lacey will be able to redshirt and preserve a season of eligibility. He will have two years remaining.

Lacey, a former four-star recruit in the class of 2019, chose the Fighting Irish over the likes of Michigan, Tennessee, Penn State and Clemson. He got off to a promising start, appearing in 11 games as a true freshman and logging 14 total tackles. He also appeared in 11 games in each of the 2020 and 2021 seasons. He had 12 tackles, including two for loss, last season.
Lacey has appeared in all four of Notre Dame's games so far this year but has played sparingly. All five of his tackles and both sacks came during the Irish's win over California in Week Three.
Lacey will have to wait until Dec. 5, when the first transfer window opens for college football, to officially enter the portal and be contacted by coaches from other schools. He should draw plenty of attention, with his home-state schools, Louisville and Kentucky, seeming like safe bets to get involved.

Practice this week is getting the Defensive Backs on the Jugs Machine...

Dillon looked good in his first extended action but he needed to catch that ball in the 4th did not have to move. The overtime how can Grose miss that ball he had no pressure and it was right to him. Credit for his teammates to pick him up as the next play Wisky scored on him and he look crushed coming to the sidelines. I will say this about Grose is not great in coverage but the kid is a fearless tackler...

RECRUITING More commitments taking visits

I have been told that Pleasant was at FSU over the weekend.

So far I don’t think it’s anything to worry about.

Colton Hood has been taking visits as well. FSU another school to watch with him. Auburn as well.

I think both of these guys are solid to MSU as of now but these visits are worth monitoring.

Payton Thorne...GREAT

game! He looked poised and confident. He was 21-28 with 75% completion rate and 2 TDs. He had some crucial 3-and-long completions that kept the chains moving and threaded the needle a few times. I was at the Mel Tucker Show at Reno's on Thursday night and they talked about a video that was sent to the team by Kirk Cousins. I have to think that helped inspire him as well. Happy for him and the program.

Two weeks - MSU O vs SCum D

Does anyone really know how good the SCum defense really is? Seems similar to 2015 in who have they really played to judge. Here is the list of qb’s they have faced this year:

Colorado State. Clay Millen
Hawaii. Joey Yellen
U Conn. Zion Turner
Maryland. Taulua Tagovailoa
Iowa. Spencer Petras
Indiana. Connor Bazelak
Penn State. Sean Clifford

The only good wb they have faced is Taulua and he gave them problems. I think msu can give their d problems and score if they are aggressive and utilize their best weapons. I realize they will be facing future Jim Thorpe award winner Mike Sanistril in the secondary but so be it. Not saying msu can shut down their offense but I think they can play a shootout with them. Thoughts?

Players overcome Grose and poor coaching

I am rooting for CMT, clearly he is passionate but just is clearly is all of the coaching miscues . For all the younger posters this is what poor coaching looks like. Penalties and mind boggling calls on both sides of the ball. Credit the players for their effort, but In my mind we are unlikely to win many games we we are over matched where as the previous regime routinely won games when matched against superior talent. Coaching counts and I do not see that as a strength of the current team.we don’t have a player problem.

OFF TOPIC: MSU women alone in first in BIG soccer

Have defeated three ranked teams, including No. 5 NW today on road.

Player of the Game?

You could make an argument for a few guys on offense. Payton Thorne, very efficient, no turnovers, and excellent game management to call the nail in the coffin deep shot to Reed. Reed had an excellent game, tons of catches and a touchdown throw to boot. Coleman was excellent as well with two touchdowns.

However, my MVP was Windmon. I landed there on account of the two turnovers he was responsible for. But the decision was cemented, listening to Paul, highlight the importance of his instincts at linebacker.

Welcome the board’s thoughts.
