A nearly perfect game by our team. 49-0. Beautiful. 477 yards vs. 182 yards. Imagine if we were still allowed to steal signs!
October 21st, 2023 at 11:55 PM ^
The funniest part was MSU having their QB run to the sidelines so that the coaches could whisper the play in his ear and then run back to the huddle.

High school teams do this all game….Wonder if state could beat a high school team
October 21st, 2023 at 10:49 PM ^
Man imagine if we knew their signs. Coulda been 70-0
October 21st, 2023 at 10:49 PM ^
Just imagine with Connor Stalions out there it would've been our first 70 point game.
October 21st, 2023 at 10:49 PM ^
Where'd all those Spartans go?
October 21st, 2023 at 11:08 PM ^
Mark D - have you jumped onto the bandwagon?
October 21st, 2023 at 11:22 PM ^
They're all in the portal...
October 21st, 2023 at 11:53 PM ^
Winner.
October 21st, 2023 at 10:50 PM ^
For the whole team, it felt like remembering the tunnel incident and now this sign stealing whatever galvanized them. I don't think I've ever seen Michigan come out and just dominate from the drop. Michigan used to start slow and grind you down. JJ just obliterated them. It was over by the 2nd quarter
October 21st, 2023 at 11:07 PM ^
POSHANG ME if you also wanted us to go for 2 to make it 50....
October 21st, 2023 at 11:55 PM ^
You goddamn right I did. An endzone Orji with 8 seconds left was frosting on the cake.
October 22nd, 2023 at 10:25 AM ^
I was so happy when he scored. Then about 5 minutes after the game I got a text from a friend that the TD won me a square in a fundraiser that I had forgotten about. Icing on icing.
October 22nd, 2023 at 1:04 PM ^
Definitely thought about it - I'll bet it crossed JH's mind too
October 21st, 2023 at 10:50 PM ^
Nothing to say but I hope Miami loses.
October 22nd, 2023 at 7:25 AM ^
You'll be sad to find out the Miami won it in 2OT. But the silver lining in this is that Clemson lost...again lol.
October 21st, 2023 at 10:50 PM ^
Can't believe they didn't go for 2
:-)
October 21st, 2023 at 10:50 PM ^
I saw the sign, and it opened up my eyes, I saw the sign.
Life is demanding without understanding.
October 21st, 2023 at 10:50 PM ^
I guess we had the right signs.
October 21st, 2023 at 11:10 PM ^
Only on MGoBlog will you get a gif starring Aleksandr Lukashenko.
October 22nd, 2023 at 1:37 PM ^
This blog definitely has a strong gif game. One of the many reasons to visit.
October 21st, 2023 at 10:50 PM ^
F for coaching. Somehow, we were the only team in the nation this week w/o a sign stealing guru on our sideline.
October 21st, 2023 at 10:50 PM ^
That was a good old fashioned dick kicking. Perfect in nearly every way.
October 21st, 2023 at 10:51 PM ^
Great damn job staff!!!!!!!!!!!!
October 21st, 2023 at 10:52 PM ^
Get Jim Harbaugh's lifetime contract done tomorrow, please.
That is all.
October 21st, 2023 at 10:53 PM ^
Ain’t no got-dang way any cheating was going on, I’LL TELL YOU HWHWAT!!!!!!!
October 21st, 2023 at 10:53 PM ^
One way to show that a sign sealing scandal isn't the reason that you dominate, is to go absolutely murder a rival on the road with the supposed sign stealer suspended.
October 21st, 2023 at 10:54 PM ^
LOVED the apparent aggression from the coaches tonight.
really set the tone for the players and I think it's one of the reasons they started so strong.
October 21st, 2023 at 10:54 PM ^
Glad we got out with no injuries. Typical sparty cheap shots and we are no worse for the wear. Can't say the same for their egos though.
Go Blue
October 21st, 2023 at 11:08 PM ^
In fairness I thought it wasn't typical Sparty cheapshots. Respect for coach Barnett here.
October 21st, 2023 at 11:51 PM ^
Mostly agree, old school, but the helmet dive into the back of MacGregor’s head was straight out of Gholston’s playbook. League had better suspend that kid some games (probably won’t), because that was clear intent to injure
October 22nd, 2023 at 12:02 AM ^
Yes the helmet dive in particular was the one that sticks out most to me when I made this comment. Throwing your big body weight as a defensive lineman towards the back of someone's neck while they are laying down is as dirty as it gets. Nothing screams undisciplined and dirty more to me than attacking someone who isn't expecting it or facing you after the play. No room for that in sports.
While Tatum wrapping up Corum and throwing him while they were well out of bounds didn't look as bad, I would have been so mad if Corum got hurt because any of those types of plays near the bench area are just asking for injuries.

Faith can move mountains--but you're going to have to actually block our D-line.
Try again next year.
October 21st, 2023 at 10:54 PM ^
Laser focused.
October 21st, 2023 at 10:54 PM ^
They went for the TD.
Right decision.
I thought maybe we could wait until hopefully winning a national title for the country to hate us. Well, they hate us already.
Michigan answered the tunnel attack and the cheap shots on the field.
Win with cruelty.
October 21st, 2023 at 10:55 PM ^
I was disappointed they didn't go for 2 though.

Sparty got an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty with 30 seconds left. I have no problem continuing to play the game if that is how they are going to act.
October 21st, 2023 at 11:06 PM ^
Right. I think Michigan probably runs a fourth down draw, rather than kicking a pointless field goal, if not for the personal foul penalty. But with the first down, enough time on the clock that a snap was required, and the sheer number of MSU late / cheap hits?
Jim Harbaugh didn’t embarrass Michigan State today. Sparty did that all by themselves.

Now it's Tweet-ready

I worked at Meijer one summer before college. They can’t be too happy about that image. “Spartan football, brought to you by Meijer and Hitler!”
October 21st, 2023 at 10:55 PM ^
I'm often hard of the officials, but, though they took a TD from Michigan and made some bad personal foul calls to even things up at the end, they did do a good job keeping Sparty from playing overly dirty, as hard as they tried.
October 21st, 2023 at 10:55 PM ^
It felt like MSU way overthrought the sign stealing thing. Seems like having your QB jog to the sideline every play just cripples your offense. It gases your QB for no reason. It kills clock, doesn't let you audible. Felt like a major self-own by the temporary MSU staff
October 21st, 2023 at 11:35 PM ^
I think they were thinking it would amplify "Michigan cheaters" and didn't they eventually stop the QB coming in from the sideline?
October 21st, 2023 at 10:56 PM ^
Credit to UM. They're obviously a very good team. Tonight they didn't really have to be. State doesn't have the horses.
October 21st, 2023 at 10:57 PM ^
The coaches had the team ready to play a night game on the road against our instate rival. Shut them out 49-0. Hats off to the entire staff.
October 21st, 2023 at 10:58 PM ^
Concerned about our conditioning with the first-stringers spending the last quarter and a half of every game laughing on the sidelines ;)
