Rose Bowl Open Thread
The Granddaddy of them all! The 100th Rose Bowl. Number 4 Michigan State vs. Number 5 Stanford. Who are you guys taking in this game and why? I like Stanford so I wouldn't mind to see them win. I do think the perception of the Big Ten is somewhat important, but I also don't think the Big Ten being that great matters a whole lot. I'm cheering for neither team though. I am just hoping for a good quality game.
The line favors Stanford by 5.5 points. Michigan State has the best defense in the country. Stanford has one of the best ground and pound teams in the country.
F/+ Projection: Stanford 20, Michigan State 11
Win Probability: Stanford 73%

Remember when Dorsey was supposed to come and we were going to have a ''No Fly Zone''?

Stanford is getting punched in the face a lot.
January 1st, 2014 at 7:17 PM ^
Stanford just doesn't have the offensive skill to beat MSU' s defense.
January 1st, 2014 at 7:18 PM ^
number 3 from stanford has now dropped 3 huge passes in this game. Including that one that he had taken away from him.

Jabrill Peppers will start from day 1 and its not even close.
January 1st, 2014 at 7:24 PM ^
And when he doesn't your excuse will be that he was young and not ready

Obviously, Jabrill is a notch up in hype but saying a true freshman will come in and start is not a certainly proposition by any means

Waynes is a 2 star from Wisconsin. When he got to MSU he was immediately put on PEDs and now he is playing at level almost as good as Dennard. It's all the PEDs...

I trust the other programs in the Big Ten have reported this.
January 1st, 2014 at 7:20 PM ^
I can't watch this. The more I watch the more I get depressed about where Michigan is.
Couldn't even win the stupid chicken wings bowl. The worst part wasn't even being there. It was the hopeless feeling going into the game.

makes me a bit sad.
MSU is clearly the best B1G team this year. Great play by Sparty so far even with the pick six.
January 1st, 2014 at 7:23 PM ^
He was looking where he was running before he caught that one.
Could be 3 INTs today if Stanford could catch the ball.

This dude makes mistakes under pressure.

MSU bailed out again, on 3rd down as usual. Unreal.
January 1st, 2014 at 7:25 PM ^
That was a good call...homers
January 1st, 2014 at 7:27 PM ^
I really hope Dantonio gets the fuck out of East Lansing. My hatred for him is slowly getting to the level of my hatred for Tressel, which sucks because that just means he is owning us like Tressel did.

Stanford needs to throw more.

Stanford held twice all year...just doubled it on that play

Stanford needs to keep passing because their run game is not working.

Although as a Michigan fan I am used to a punt off the 36 on 4th and 4
January 1st, 2014 at 7:36 PM ^
How does MSU's middle linebacker always seem to call the right play? It's like they know all the play calls and audibles. I never see our linebackers do that.
January 1st, 2014 at 7:38 PM ^
January 1st, 2014 at 7:40 PM ^
There's perhaps a teensy chance it has something to do with good coaching by MSU's assistants, but I suppose that's silly emo.
January 1st, 2014 at 7:42 PM ^
This is their backup middle LB - their starter for 3 years was suspended.
January 1st, 2014 at 7:48 PM ^
Sorry, backup MILB. It's like they don't miss a beat without Bullough.
