Or just post here. I just can't believe the original one is about to be page 3 on MGoBoard with all these posts on a non-game Saturday, with these weak games today. And there's still on hour till kickoff! Guess you can post things too early, but then we had bowl game threads, Rose Bowl threads, and Sugar Bowl threads yesterday, so, whatever.

Been a busy day for MGoBlog...

Hate to say it, but with 14 players down (likely because of it) Dantonio is calling an innovative game. I'm sure he will become vanilla again, next year, but this is solid for State.

Given the weapons they have on offense and the way they are opening up their offense tonight they could be dangerous if Dantonio is willing to be this creative. Cousins is not "fast" but he can scramble, they have 2 good running backs, and Dell, Cunningham, and Keyshawn back.

One of the announcers mentioned that Blair White was about all that MSU loses to graduation/departure. I hope junior LB Greg Jones goes pro. Here's a 2nd round projectin for him.

Looks like Leach's absence has hurt Tech more than the missing Sparty players. It hasn't hurt Sparty that the refs seem to be making up for all the bad calls against Michigan many years ago.

MSU is using its timeouts too early. They may pay for it if TT scores a touchdown.

EDIT: ugh, another lucky break for Sparty - the TT receiver just plain muffs it.

Ballsy. This is fantastic.

Edit: Insult to injury. Completely demoralized on that last play, can't stop a run up the gut. Cya Sparty.

Looks like Couch Burning 305: Advanced Methods is going to pay off for some sparty alums tonight. Hope they don't burn down the Advanced Institute for Brahsearch.

If MSU had won after OSU had won to start 2010, I'd start wondering what was going to go wrong next with Michigan Football.

What my prediction was going to be? Scurvy.
