Desmond on the Gholston incident(s):
I was actually embarrassed for Michigan State's football team, that program, and the school because there is no place for that. He is not representing that university well when he goes out there...you don't have to mar your performance by doing something so stupid! That was a punk move and he didn't need to do that.
They also all agreed that this and like incidents reflect poorly on the coach. They discussed how the coaches are more like friends than coaches to the players, that discipline is lacking, and that player's don't respect the coaches authority.

I love that sparty spends more time booing Desmond and yelling "Little Sister" then focusing on this week.  Insert comment that proves Little Brother status.

I agree, I feel like MSU is setting themselves up for a blowout because of the concern for the Gholston junk, and I realize this is the fans we are talking about, but Im sure the team has the same sense.

Not really sure why State fans like the "little sister" moniker so much.. It doesn't even make any sense.  We beat them 67% of the times we've played, people actually care about who we are, and we're a better school (for good measure).  After all, there's a reason they were so up in arms about the "little brother" comment - it hit so close to home.  And the cheering at having felons for players? Much like their head coach, State fans manage to screw up one of their few chances at national attention. 

Speaking of, how happy do you think he is that Russell Wilson wears 16? Him and Narduzzi could simply say "stick to the gameplan from last week guys, go for 16's head!"

it is completely moronic and makes absolutely zero sense..."BIG sister" might make more sense (it would still be completely lame but at least you can make an argument there).... I love it when they try to argue with you and they say "oh at Michigan you're just paying for the name"... and Idk how many msu friends you all have, but I swear to god every single one of mine tells me they were in "the best program in the nation" for their major. I would like to call a huge internet 'bullshit'. if msu had as many "top notch programs" as my friends claim they do, maybe everyone there wouldn't be at a sixth-grade reading level.

When has MSU ever handled national exposure well?  Last year they followed up nice wins against Wiscy and UM with a gack job to a mediocre Iowa team, and then were curb-stomped by Alabama in the bowl game after grousing about being passed over by OSU and Wiscy for BCS games.  This year, they were stomped by ND, then beat UM.  Now they have Wiscy coming to town, and I fully expect Wilson, Ball, etc. to just destroy them, probably ending the game by the 1st half.  They'll then run through the rest of their schedule (which breaks down super-easy after Nebraska), and claim they should be playing in a better bowl game when they get passed over by PSU or UM.  And then the cycle will continue.

At the game, Sparty fans were actively yelling for someone to hurt Denard. Then, whenever he went down, multiple people would scream "Yeah! Stay down!" or "Yup, he's not coming back, that's what he gets," or similar.

I can understand rivalry and passion, but I could never hate a school/team so much that I'd want a player to get injured. These are college student athletes...

Denard runs by him all day. Navy & Air Force run the fullback right by him. He's just average. They act like he's a top 10 draft pick, especially on NBC. Teo is definitely on the forefront of Mike Mayock's yank bank.
