the just released schedules were a flat-out statement that the B10 doesn't believe SOS will matter in playoff selection
Copper Bowl Open Thread, MSU vs. TCU
MSU is fucking stupid
1. Hand off up the middle on 3rd is PREDICTABLE
2. TCU has timeouts left! Why wouldn't you wait to snap that?! You left too much time.

This is setting up pretty damn well for SPARTY NO
"Ohio is like a giant turd that Michigan just can't pinch off"
Still plenty of time. TCU just needs a FG and that kicker got a 53 yarder.

This mouse is dreadful. I need a new one.

There is no such effing thing as a go-ahead field goal and you should be ashamed of perpetuating such nonsense, announcer.
Abort, Retry, Fail?
Why is that? Isn't it a FG to go ahead? Do I not know what that term means?
"go-ahead" has been forced away from its natural relationship with the word "touchdown", where it means the blocking has opened up a gaping hole, or Koger fools everybody in the northeast corner. A FG is always difficult to make and cannot be considered a sure thing under any circumstances.
I guess we were thinking about different meanings of the phrase. Sorry about the confusion.
Abort, Retry, Fail?
So then what is a "go-ahead" HR in baseball or a "go-ahead" three in basketball? I think you just don't know what the term means. It's any score that puts the team ahead when they were not before the play. You could have a go ahead safety.
My question was rhetorical, I know what those things are. My point is that just because you've made up your own meaning for a phrase doesn't mean a "go ahead FG" doesn't exist and you probably shouldn't get upset when the announcers correctly refer to one as such.
Announcers gloss on Dantonio going back to his 2nd stringer
Sparty fan is wetting himself right now.

Offsetting penalties!
"Ohio is like a giant turd that Michigan just can't pinch off"

Sparty Nooooooo!
That was definitely Pass Interference.

Yup, that TCU return guy blew the game. He did the one thing that could save MSU's putrid offense: make them only have to go 6 yards.
Hail to the college whose colors we wear,
Hurrah for the Yellow and Blue!
That Boykin kid sucks something awful
"All I've had today is, like, six gummy bears and some scotch"
I think that's the game ladies and gentleman
BIG TEENNNN ftw finally
"Ohio is like a giant turd that Michigan just can't pinch off"
to start winning some of these games, even tho it's Sparty
Conference prestige and bowl payout monies for everybody! Have a cigar.

MSU should be thanking their punter.

Oh, yeah, forget about that...

TCU is a disgrace. That return guy sucks. Let the ball go into the end zone!!
"But in the tire fire that was last year's secondary he showed a little spark." - Brian Cook
but that was a good win for the B1G
But I thought Michigan was their bowl game?

It looks like the Michigans are going to save the Big Ten in bowl season.
2013 will be the year.
Oh well. Win for the B1G, and I think Sparty will again be mediocre next year.
But going with Cook is hardly a genius move when Maxwell was sucking as badly as he did (and really has all year).
Maxwell wasn't really as bad as everybody made him out to be. His receivers dropped so many passes throughout the season and ran such lazy 6 yard routes, so it was really the receivers that made him look pathetic.
2013 will be the year.
I don't really agree with that. Sure early in the year they were terrible, but they survived that for the most part. After that it became a magnification of that being the thing. Every team drops balls. They came to be average to slightly below average once Burbridge emerged. And Sims is an elite TE as a receiving option. There weren't many (any?) B1G teams with more than one elite receiving option, and many/most teams had below average WR's.
And any team with Bell as the RB should have play-action wide-openness of WR's built in. Not necessarily because he's great, but because he's a load and you want to meet guys like that near the line (pulling LBs into the play action early).
But you don't really need me to argue that he was bad. His own coach benched him for a freshman on the last drive of their bowl game.
He's pretty bad. His lack of the slightest movement is his main problem.
All in for some manball.



47 yarder...but Dan Conroy has been historically solid.
