Sparty NO!

Did you post one of these for each MSU 3 and out?
Because if so, you probably should post at least 2 or 3 more...
December 29th, 2012 at 11:16 PM ^
Nah I guess my phone freaked out
December 29th, 2012 at 11:00 PM ^
Ever thus to spartan dbs
December 29th, 2012 at 11:00 PM ^
an overrated stat. That said, what were Denard's?
December 29th, 2012 at 11:00 PM ^
This game might be over quickly if TCU scores again. MSU is not going to score many points.

Can we go back to the 90's and early 2000's when the Big Ten could actually win bowl games? That's what I want.
December 29th, 2012 at 11:06 PM ^
After tonight?
December 29th, 2012 at 11:16 PM ^
The hell with everyone else, I hope Michigan is the only B1G team that wins their bowl.
Why should I want other teams to do well when their fans want Michigan to lose? Screw them.
December 30th, 2012 at 12:12 AM ^
Amen, brother.
December 30th, 2012 at 12:15 AM ^
I am not my (little) brother's keeper. It's enough for my team to win If other conference teams win, I don't care. If blood rivals win, it sucks.
December 29th, 2012 at 11:04 PM ^
Confused by the hate on MSU's defense in this thread. Damn solid defense IMO and the numbers show just that.
December 29th, 2012 at 11:06 PM ^
Maybe because their defense has shit the bed in almost every important game this year?
December 29th, 2012 at 11:09 PM ^
I'd say the problem was more their absolutely pathetic offense and not the defense...but that's just me.
December 29th, 2012 at 11:14 PM ^
Their offense sucked yes, but against osu, michigan, iowa, nebraska, and northwestern they had the chance to stop the other team at the end and failed.
December 29th, 2012 at 11:16 PM ^
We won without scoring a single touchdown. The defense was not the problem.
December 29th, 2012 at 11:17 PM ^
They didn't fail agains Nebraska...They got screwed.
December 29th, 2012 at 11:51 PM ^
Actually, their D did give up a 4th and 10 to allow NU into field goal range before the terrible pass interference call.
December 30th, 2012 at 3:16 AM ^
Eh, I see the other side on this one because iirc those were all one score games. Their D did hold us without a TD. Statistically they are good and I was happy to beat them but I wasn't exactly beating my chest after this year's win either. It was just a win I was happy to come away with.
December 30th, 2012 at 12:00 AM ^
Michigan was kept out of the end zone completely in three games this year. One of those games was against Michigan State. It is a credit to Michigan's defense (and Gibbons) that the State game was the one Michigan won despite not scoring a TD.
From a statistical POV, MSU's defense did a better job than Ohio's in The Game.
That said, Sparty's not winning this game. They have NOTHING on offense tonight.
December 29th, 2012 at 11:06 PM ^
TCU says what defense ??
December 29th, 2012 at 11:04 PM ^
FACK you gotta catch that!
December 29th, 2012 at 11:07 PM ^
Nice to see MD really taking advantage of bowl prep.
December 29th, 2012 at 11:07 PM ^
Way to highlight Gholston falling on his butt while Allen and the rest of the defense actually gets to the QB.
December 29th, 2012 at 11:07 PM ^
Gholston says: mmmm Pancakes...
December 29th, 2012 at 11:07 PM ^
Gholston got owned by one dude on that play then got pancaked in pass-pro. Man that guy is good.
December 29th, 2012 at 11:11 PM ^
Hahaha maxwell got yanked hahahahahahahaha
December 29th, 2012 at 11:12 PM ^
Look out!
December 29th, 2012 at 11:14 PM ^
Love how the announcers said that putting him in wasn't maxwells fault. The coaches really wanted this to happen.
December 29th, 2012 at 11:24 PM ^
Yup. Mork loved the fact that his season long starting QB had to be pulled for a drive because he couldn't get anything going. This game is falling right into Dantonio's plans.
December 29th, 2012 at 11:12 PM ^
I'd like to see Sims have a big game and then go pro. That guy is a load.
December 29th, 2012 at 11:15 PM ^
My guess he's gone either way. McShay's #2 or #3 TE, I believe
December 29th, 2012 at 11:12 PM ^
Man that pass was close to players atleast.
December 29th, 2012 at 11:13 PM ^
Cook is in, hilarious. I saw him in their spring game and he looked terrible.
Odds of him looking decent for stretch and then throwing it directly to a TCU defender: 60-40.
December 29th, 2012 at 11:17 PM ^
The future looks bright in Spartyville.
Anyone listen to J Rome? Have you heard wen the Skylar Brothers are on with that caller "it's Coner not Conner" "Coner, lol
December 29th, 2012 at 11:14 PM ^
You always put your backup in when you've got a starting qb who's coming back.
December 29th, 2012 at 11:16 PM ^
Bellomy will get some reps. Hahaha Sparty
December 29th, 2012 at 11:17 PM ^
Let's prepare for next year!
December 29th, 2012 at 11:16 PM ^
Regular fan take: "Sparty offense is terrible, Cook sub was stupid"
Sparty fan take: "Coach D has turned the field around...he's playing for field position"
December 29th, 2012 at 11:16 PM ^
Dantonio tries a fake punt? Guy is a genius. Genius.
December 29th, 2012 at 11:19 PM ^
He kind of killed us on with that one.
December 29th, 2012 at 11:16 PM ^
Too early for LOL Sparty
December 29th, 2012 at 11:25 PM ^
I was thinking that msu had a chance to make a play or receive a gift w TCU on its own four.
I blink, and A Sparty No! later and its 13-0.
December 29th, 2012 at 11:18 PM ^
I love the announcers errr state said they were gonna do this.. Lol@lil bro
December 29th, 2012 at 11:20 PM ^
Their secondary is turrible.
December 29th, 2012 at 11:20 PM ^
...use of a high low zone.
