so much for that
It's about the way you win.
I have been outspoken about having zero expectations this game in a season that has already exceeded them. The fact there will be zero focus or attention on the WAY that State won this game is a disappointment to the sport. I'd love for the comments to include the number of personal fouls and taunting carried out by a team who for all intents should have expected to win should be an embarrassment to their base. Instead it will be a Wallpaper.
I didn't mind losing. I minded losing to a team who carried itself this way while no one cared.

My favorite part was how
My favorite part was how
My favorite part was how right after that, the ESPN guys said Dantonio was a coach of "clean, hard-hitting football." I said immediately afterwards, "Gholston will be in on the next play, no question, and then we'll see how clean of a coach he is."
Gholston could have shot someone at halftime and he would be put back in. He might get a suspension, even from Dantonio, because their most important game is over. If it happened last week, you bet your ass he wouldn't be suspended until next week at least. Fucking disgraceful.

In reality though, it
In reality though, it
In reality though, it shouldn't be up to Dantonio. They should adopt USA Hockey rules: if a player is injured on a penalty, it's an automatic ejection, no questions asked. What's the point in a fifteen yard penalty if 44 could come out on the first drive and make a blatantly dirty hit to try and decapitate Denard? That affects the outcome of the game much more significantly than fifteen yards does, so it's a smart play. That shouldn't be the case.

We didn't want to win?
I don't know, the effort was there. We played hard. It was frustrating to spend so much time on their half of the field and get TOs and not capitilize on it. I don't think it had anything to do with effort or lack of will to win the game. Borges didn't particularly adjust well to the blitzes, but some of that is on personal for not picking it up, Denard for not reading it and getting the ball to open recievers. And, give their defense credit. They beat us at the point of attack, on both sides of the ball for that matter. We got beat by a better team, plain and simple.

I don't know if they were awful, but, the 4th and inches call was not good. First big mistake that I've seen from Borges all year. Too bad, that would've been interesting to have them pick up that 1st down and then tie the game. Additionally, felt like that game was over-coached. I hate this cliche, but, Denard never seemed to get into a "rhythm."
Overall, that game was uber-annoying. Everything from the uniforms, to the play on the field, to the final score. Looked like Delaware vs. S. Florida out there.
Ick. I'm going to go shower now and wash the stank of that off me.

Numerous drives into MSU territory. We lost to a pretty mediocre team today and that is what hurts. I'm not calling us great but they aren't either.

Dantonio sat him one play. Punishment served. Of course the first play back he nearly horse collared Denard
It certainly felt like every bit of good luck we had all season was paid back today. Call it karma. The only thing I really felt would have changed the play was the no call on MSUs fumbled backwards pass. The rest werebad but probably not game changing
pS my Spartan friends and family think Gholston should've been ejected and they are embarrassed. Not all sparties are irrational.

I wish they would have reviewed the spot on the 3rd and 11 catch right before the ill-fated 4th and inches. Looking live, I thought he was right at the marker. But at the same time, our offense has to be able to get that yard on the next play.

But, I suppose MSU is going to continue beating UM with all those great players they are bringing in. Oh wait that is right, UM is kicking MSU's ass in the Midwest and nationally again, in terms of recruiting. MSU fans are foolish if they think MSU will continue to beat UM when they have inferior talent.
Oh and you can talk shit all you want, it still doesn't change the fact that MSU behaved like thugs(not shocking) today.

But, as you noted, the butt kicking.
No hot routes on all the blitzing. Teams shouldn't be able to that all game and Sparty has done it their last two games without penalty. Teams have to make blitzing teams pay and that was disappointing to see no adjustments AND going empty at the end, which just screams, "Blitz me!"

Yes This
Yes This
We obviously need this in the face of what will now be the standard type of defensive scheme we face the rest of the year with blitzes out of the ass. Denard had 3 guys wide fucking open on that pick six to choose from he just went to the wrong side.
Sadly, Denard had open guys ALL day, ALL over the field and just never saw them or overthrew them by 5 yards.

I never was comfortable with the term "little bro" and cringed when I heard it..but that behavior, and the Sparty coaches acceptance of it, is exactly why it is absolutely the right term for them. That was punk. If they could behave with one ounce of class, when they kick our ass, our when they lose, they wouldn't be called little brother.

No hand shakes
Did you notice we all ran off the field to the tunnel and didn't shake anyone's hand on Sparty? Gholston is lame...multiple cheap shots including a punch thrown. Multiple late hits on D-Rob, one that took him out of the game. Taunting that was never called on the pick 6. I hope we remember this and I hope Hoke calls them out. Can't get disrespected much more than that.
