Mark Dantonio is a moron - MSU vs. AirForce
MSU up 35-14 on Air Force and he keeps all of his starters in with 6:00 mins left in the game. Lawrence Thomas just went down with a bad knee injury.
EDIT: Some will comment that we had our starters in, however, as a poster noted I think it's different because our starters are unproven, while Michigan State is clearly a proven side.
UPDATE: 2 mins left and Bullough just got kicked out of the game.

Max Bullough graduated two years ago.

"Poor Oregon team". "Luckily".
How do you guys collectively manage to rebuild your mass delusion after having it brutally crushed every year?

Alternatively, you could say Oregon got lucky to be in that situation, as we were missing our starting LB, CB, and OT. Indeed, you can play this game all day, with any game. Football turns on plays you could call "lucky". I believe Oregon State snapped a ball ten feet over their punter's head, did they not? Are you marking that down to Harbaugh's amazing coaching, or luck?
It just makes your fanbase look incredibly insecure when you desperately try to denigrate everything MSU has accomplished over the past decade or so. Why is acknowledging reality so difficult? There's only so much you can chalk up to luck before it begins to stretch the bounds of credibility. MSU is, what, 6-1 against the top 10 in the past couple years? Yet you've managed to create a world for yourself in which those 6 were dreadfully overrated, MSU is just lucky, and soon everything will return to 1974, because your fragile psyche won't allow for a good instate program to compete with UM.

insecure fans.

Why is offering an alternate viewpoint considered trolling? I admit calling it "delusion" may be considered offensive, but other than that, I've said precious little that would be considered trolling. But what else could I really term it, when you consistently rationalize another top 10 victory by saying they weren't really that good, MSU is flawed, UM is going to roll Sparty, etc. I mean, there were actually people opining about how Utah is better than Oregon. That, to me, is a sign of insecurity.
But why would viewing another team's blog be considered insecure? I look at EDSBS, OTE, BHGP, TOC, and 11W, among other college sports blogs. So far, mgoblog is the only one so insular, so beset by rampant groupthink, that it claims an alternative viewpoint - one supported by facts and statistics rather than hope, no less - is trolling.
September 19th, 2015 at 8:36 PM ^
sure invented a few opposing viewpoints that were never espoused just now.
Hence trolling.
Plenty of rival fans post here without getting negged to oblivion. It's not a surprise that you aren't one of them.

Trolling requires decieving; any trolling that doesn't involve decieving someone isn't trolling at all; it's just stupid. As such, your victim must not know that you are trolling; if he does, you are an unsuccesful troll.
Signs that your trolling is succesful:
*Your victim screaming in all-caps at you.
*Being an Internet Tough Guy.
*Making a crude remark, before quickly logging off before you can retort.
Signs that your trolling is unsuccesful:
*Your victim identifying you as a troll.

And you're the guy who when he's shown that he's wrong by not just a little, but a whole fucking lot, will then try to turn and say "oh yeah, well your mom's a whore". Not a good look, that.

Not sure I know what the hell you're trying to say, but the only way I'm ever going to be happy at a funeral is if I'm inheriting a pile of cash. Sadly, that's never going to happen.

Do NOT get snarky with Don, even if it's something that is intended to be ironic humor. You are guaranteed at least one downvote...

and Maryland and Rutgers, which were also before the OSU game. And screw Busch Lite, make it a Two Hearted or Gulo Gulo.
You're right that MSU's defense is not exactly dominant yet this year.
September 19th, 2015 at 3:30 PM ^
Mike D'Antoni is playing to the playoff committee. He wants a way in after they lose to Ohio. He's hoping they won't notice AFA outgined them by 100 yards.
September 19th, 2015 at 6:02 PM ^
Mike D'Antoni teams never play any defense, they just want to run and gun (can't do that with Kobe). I am not sure what Steve Nash, Carmello Anthony, and Amare Stoudemire looked like against Air Force's option, but all of them are sub-par defensively.

He sure turned things around at MSU.
How many 11 wins seasons in a row?

That's what happens when you play multiple MAC opponents each season.

Their CB, Vayante Copeland is out for the season with a neck injury. Their backup to him has been terrible.
