The Fates have already spoken. This is MSU's year. No way NWU scores. Shit.
October 23rd, 2010 at 3:07 PM ^
I hate agreeing with you :(
October 23rd, 2010 at 3:07 PM ^
I hate saying it
October 23rd, 2010 at 3:06 PM ^
I guess this is just their year - luck just seems to be with them on all of the close plays/games. Ugh.
October 23rd, 2010 at 3:15 PM ^
This concept about luck this and luck that. When you are down 17 on the road, you don't win by luck. I know UM fans hate to admit it, but MSU is actually talented and pretty well coached.
October 23rd, 2010 at 3:28 PM ^
And this is the first place you go?
October 23rd, 2010 at 3:36 PM ^
I went to the RCMB, but it sounds like we won the national championship from the way people are reacting over there.
October 23rd, 2010 at 3:45 PM ^
Give you a chance to play for it, it's not that crazy. And that must have been a quick look and reading of this thread since the game just ended.
<br>
<br>I'd have had more respect if you had been around when they were down big, too...
October 23rd, 2010 at 3:38 PM ^
God your logic is so irrefutable. Is this what it's like over there?
Debate:
A: *emphatic statement with no evidence*
B: *statement backed up by unrelated evidence and something resembling but not actually logic*
The Masses: "A IS WINNARRRR, LET'S GO RIOT"
On a side note: I know you were digging deep into your vocabulary, but the posts here about how lucky Sparty was in that game are not concepts, for the love of God. How do you function in society?
October 23rd, 2010 at 3:41 PM ^
Compared to the logical and unbiased discussion on these boards. How many Heismans have we won in the past three years?
October 23rd, 2010 at 3:07 PM ^
Pers needs to run OB on the NW sidelines so he gets a ticky tack late hit.
October 23rd, 2010 at 3:09 PM ^
Don't like that play call.
2nd call was what shoulda been the 1st down.
October 23rd, 2010 at 3:08 PM ^
This MSU team is 01 Illini, 00 Purdue and 07 Illini all rolled into one.....have no business doing what they are doing right now. An average to above average team who is gonna get curb stomped when they face an elite team.
October 23rd, 2010 at 3:11 PM ^
I'm so there with you. My Sparty friends call it sour grapes, but I can see the fear of the inevitable bowl beat down their eyes.
October 23rd, 2010 at 3:42 PM ^
This is sour grapes, yes.
October 24th, 2010 at 12:33 AM ^
I don't know if you can call any four-and-long call (fake or not) completed a bad call. This is the big ten and if michigan's 0-2 record doesn't hint at it this is a pretty good conference... truth is any road game is a tough test. Msu executed at the right time and were just unpredictable enough to be successfull at the right time as an offenses --> and that is a large part of college football. As far as any "impending bowl losses"... I personally don't believe MSU is consistently a top 5 team, however, given recent years' parody in college football, I believe that MSU has the talent, organization, leadership to make a run (as does about 25 other teams really). They have used what they have to go 8-0 while beating some pretty damn good opponents along the way. Overall, if a better team bets 'em, so what? I know that state has been playing their ass off! But the haters will always be there
October 24th, 2010 at 1:26 PM ^
given recent years' parody in college football
While some might argue that the BCS is indeed comical, I'm not quite sure what that has to do with this.
October 23rd, 2010 at 3:08 PM ^
We'll all need hugs from Lloyd Brady if Sparty doesn't implode on this last drive. Frankly, I'm not in a hugging mood.....FYS
October 23rd, 2010 at 3:10 PM ^
Too much grit on that one.
October 23rd, 2010 at 3:10 PM ^
all 4th quarter
October 23rd, 2010 at 3:11 PM ^
We don't have to crown Pat Fitzgerald king of anything.
October 23rd, 2010 at 3:11 PM ^
Great success!
October 23rd, 2010 at 3:11 PM ^
Lots of open receivers on that last drive, and Persa wasn't close to any of them
October 23rd, 2010 at 3:12 PM ^
Wow. Ok I'm done.
This is what happens when you're stuck rooting for another team...
October 23rd, 2010 at 3:13 PM ^
I've found rooting for NW much more comforting than Michigan. You have the comfort knowing that the secondary doesn't completely explode all game. I hate MSU tho. I would give us a loss to MSU if they lost every other game.
October 23rd, 2010 at 3:13 PM ^
02 Ohio State = 10 Spartans? Winning games by close margins, but nonetheless winning.
October 23rd, 2010 at 3:13 PM ^
Well, in other news, I'm sure West Virginia is glad they're not stuck with RichRod's terrible coaching anymore.
October 23rd, 2010 at 3:14 PM ^
So MSU is officially the luckiest team this year? Awful fake punt call completed, NW fumbles at the 1 on 1st n goal, NW QB can't hit wide open receievers. Pathetic hearing the accolades given to this team.
October 23rd, 2010 at 3:14 PM ^
That give NW a chance to win.
October 23rd, 2010 at 3:14 PM ^
I'm actually ok with that score.
October 23rd, 2010 at 3:16 PM ^
On the game? ;-)
October 23rd, 2010 at 3:14 PM ^
1 minute, 8 points.
October 23rd, 2010 at 3:14 PM ^
Epic fail. Shockingly, still a chance.
October 23rd, 2010 at 3:16 PM ^
this games not over, and northwestern has a ton of time left.
that is potentially a huge mistake by baker.
October 23rd, 2010 at 3:15 PM ^
The irony here is that the only way MSU could lose was to score there. Now NW has a slim chance.
October 23rd, 2010 at 3:17 PM ^
Maurice Jones Drew there
October 23rd, 2010 at 3:15 PM ^
1 min left down 1 score?
October 23rd, 2010 at 3:17 PM ^
implode again! He must be hurt or something.
October 23rd, 2010 at 3:18 PM ^
called that shit
October 23rd, 2010 at 3:18 PM ^
There's always Iowa.
October 23rd, 2010 at 3:18 PM ^
Persa got his chance and blew it twice. Jeez....
October 23rd, 2010 at 3:18 PM ^
The most epic, of epically epic fails.
October 23rd, 2010 at 3:19 PM ^
Another awful pass. Trying to overcompensate for the previous overthrows? MSU gets another gave given to them.
October 23rd, 2010 at 3:21 PM ^
from the Lloyd Carr sideline interview playbook?
October 23rd, 2010 at 3:26 PM ^
His cutesy names for his fakes.
<br>
<br>And that they work.
October 23rd, 2010 at 3:21 PM ^
Crap. I gotta get stuff done, and now here comes Iowa v. WI. Decisions, decisions....
October 23rd, 2010 at 3:22 PM ^
MSU should be having a good season. They have tons of veterans, many seniors, 4th year of the current program and a soft schedule.
Give them credit for taking care of business coming from down 17 against a good team.
Still like Michigan's future way way more.
October 23rd, 2010 at 3:24 PM ^
Well, true, I guess. Michigan will be Michigan, but the only future for Sparty is that they will still be stinky, icky Sparty.
