fire bielema
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:29 PM ^
I think they said td to avoid couch fires
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:29 PM ^
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:30 PM ^
Outrageous!
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:30 PM ^
That's an insane finish. Thought he crossed the line on first call, so a good one. MSU is catching a hell of a lot of breaks this year; they might actually do something this season.
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:30 PM ^
No God.
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:33 PM ^
Totally agreed. Fuck man
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:30 PM ^
Holy freakin crap man. A flippin hail mary and it worked
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:30 PM ^
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:30 PM ^
Just lost an assload of money - I was betting on a plague of locusts to carry off Bielema and Douchetonio.
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:30 PM ^
worst. ending. ever.
and p.s., B1G officials? I will dispute that call, if you like.
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:30 PM ^
I think we have just seen the two teams who are going to be playing in Indy, which is too bad because Sparty still sucks.
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:30 PM ^
What a game, what an ending. Hat's off to Sparty. I imagine there'll be a rematch in Indianapolis. Michigan's chances at the B1G West are on life support now.
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:30 PM ^
DERPiest game by Wisconsin. That timeout on 3rd and 7 at the MSU 35 or so was super dumb. And then Abromitis mistimes his jump despite being in perfect position to knock it down. Aieeeeee.
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:36 PM ^
Unless you block the punt or get a great return, Bielema's looking at getting the ball back at his own ~25 w/ ~15 seconds left. That's kneel down and go into OT terrirory.
Had it been 3rd & 21 from the Sparty 22, then getting the ball at your ~40 w/ 15 seconds left might have some value. (As we just saw from Sparty.)
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:43 PM ^
If he doesn't, he gets his hands on it, and though I highly doubt he would have had the athletic ability to make that type of twisting catch, it wouldn't have been an easy INT for MSU.
Who knows, maybe Wiscy scores another time if that doesn't happen.
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:30 PM ^
Well fuck
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:30 PM ^
This is Wisconsin's Colorado game, it's going to haunt them forever
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:30 PM ^
Musberger.
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:34 PM ^
Musberger is a Pervert.
I will hate MSU forever. And now Badger fans will join the brigade.
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:36 PM ^
Was that you who said that during the 2010 Fiesta Bowl, when he said something to the effect of "For all the Tostitos?" I wanted to use that as my sig, but I wanted to give credit to the poster.
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:30 PM ^
Pretty sure it crossed the plane, but man, how do you allow Cousins that much time on that play? Clearly, having a bunch of backs deep couldn't save the TD.
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:31 PM ^
Asplode
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:31 PM ^
The real loser in this matchup are the couches.
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:31 PM ^
Gag. Fine, whatever. Let MSU have one more season of magic and miracles. Their time is running out quickly.
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:31 PM ^
Teams aside, that was one hell of a game
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:31 PM ^
If nothing else, the B1G has the two most exciting endings so far this season, although nothing will top our win over ND.
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:31 PM ^
This just plain sucks.
I hate Dantonio.
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:32 PM ^
Wisco started out 14-0 in the first 10 min and was driving down the field before Wilson threw an INT. Give credit to Sparty they rode that pick the whole game.
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:32 PM ^
Didn't Bielema do this shit against them a couple of years ago as well? Turrible...just turrible.
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:32 PM ^
So I guess MSU is just Thug U against us? 0 penalties for the game
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:32 PM ^
I don't understand why defenses don't just start the play with like five guys in the endzone, so they can quickly converge.
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:36 PM ^
My best guess is that they want to prevent a Hook and Lateral situation. If they get the ball untouched in around the 15 yard line who knows what could happen
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:45 PM ^
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:32 PM ^
Eddie Brown and Spartan Bob are smiling.
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:32 PM ^
Gotta admit, Kirk Cousins was amazing. MSU won without a penalty. Go figure.
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:33 PM ^
Epic clock managment fail by Bielema.
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:33 PM ^
Thanks for getting out coached Hoke!!! FUCK THIS SUCKS
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:33 PM ^
couldn't watch the whole game, but they just said no penalties on MSU???
BULLSHIT
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:34 PM ^
Hmmm...Boise is happy.
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:34 PM ^
How were there zero penalties on MSU? No classless late hits?
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:35 PM ^
but pretty amazing that the last 3 games have gone their way. Easily could've gone 0-3 there (with our game probably the biggest stretch there)
Scored 10 on Ohio State and won
Committed a zillion personal fouls and several terrible turnovers and were lucky we couldn't convert
Entered twilight zone against Wisconsin and blocked a punt for a TD, caught Bielema getting excited with timeouts and caught a freakin hail mary
I hope they don't like football there, because their program is using their next 40 years of positive karma in like 2 seasons
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:35 PM ^
Where's the Oklahoma game on?
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:36 PM ^
Some ABC / ESPN network
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:38 PM ^
Thanks they were on ABC but i guess it got moved over after the delay?
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:37 PM ^
ESPN2 if not on your ABC affiliate.
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:35 PM ^
Great timeout, Brent.
October 22nd, 2011 at 11:35 PM ^
I'll tell you one thing.. It's a good night to go to school with the sluttiest girls in the Big10. Big recruiting selling point for the Spartans.
Let's go Nebraska.
