Notre Dame flare pass was backward and SC recovers on the 18.  I think the structure of that play runs that risk given that the tail back was going horizontal starting from behind the QB.

But never football.

<br>Even after we beat them the last time Lloyd all but said this rivalry was getting real, yo. He knew they finally didn't have a nincompoop running their program. It has more to do with them than us.
<br>
<br>But yeah, we could have a contest to pick the first "instate recruiting rabble rabble" post.

Welcome back Fraudgers*. Wisconsin's a bunch of front runners. Hey Bret, waiting for you to run up the score...

Part of me thinks I shouldn't even respond to that it's so stupid.  But let's see.  Calvin Johnson is arguably the best wide receiver in the NFL.  BJ Cunningham will be an average NFL receiver.  Matthew Stafford was the number one overall draft pick.  Kork Coupons is destined for the same fate as every other Sparty NFL QB - career backup.

tearing his QB another one. 

P.S. New MSU was gonna score as soon as Herbie said that if they were smart they would move it to the middle of the field.

hey...give Marky D credit, the big 10 is down and he is the guy that is running with it right now.

However dirty they are, if they dont get called for it and they win games no sense of changing things.

Huge drop right there. He makes that catch, there's plenty of time to force a Sparty 3 and out.

And then they drop a 3rd down conversion....Wisky is killing themselves more than anything else

about last weekend...not much, but a little. I do not feel good about the fact that if Wisconsin had covered I would've hit a 5 team parlay at 24-1...sigh (Also had Clemson, OK St, Oregon, and LSU)

Guys, relax. MSU is just setting themselves up for the biggest "SPARTY NOOOOOO" ever. They are going to win this game and then in the re-match against Wisco for the first ever Big Ten Championship game they are going to lose in epic fashion, watching their hopes and dreams of B10 titles and the Rose Bowl flounder.

if it wasn't already obvious to them, Dantonio should be the #1 pick for HC at OSU -- the ties to the program, the lovefest with the Vest,  the hatred of Michigan, it all fits.

I would not look forward to facing Dantonio at OSU but would project (and enjoy) the "return to mediocrity" that it would mean for MSU.

I like MSU being a challenge in the Paul Bunyan game but not for the Legends Division B1GC spot.  Since I've paid attention to college football they've gotten up for the game against Michigan, but this year andlast?  Not used to them competing in the conference, much less nationally.
