So This Puts Us in the Citrus Bowl vs. Florida?
MSU has a lot of experience losing in the Final Four, so it'll be nice to see the football team take their turn. So as I see it, this means:
- MSU in the National Semifinal vs. Clemson or Alabama (once again - you've got one job, Saban)
- OSU in the Rose Bowl vs. Stanford
- Iowa in some other New Year's Six bowl
- Michigan vs. Florida (or maybe LSU) in the Citrus Bowl
Am I right?

Good call on cook grabbing that trophy. What a douchebag he is.

He thought it was a captain's band... and got all excited.

Iowa was also saddled with Greg Davis at OC. So many passes in front of the sticks.

Amazing that we beat a playoff team in year 1 of Harbaugh.

You can't have a weak secondary and expect to win the national championship, and Sparty's secondory certainly isn't strong. They won't be able to run on Alabama and their secondary will get lit up by Clemson and Oklahoma. Not saying Sparty has zero chance, just saying it doesn't look good for them.

Much rather get the Citrus Bowl. Don't care who we play. Just win. Send out the seniors with a bowl win. We have had precious few of those in the last 15 years or so.

The program momentum would have been lower that's for sure. People talk shit about their classes but they stole LJ Scott from Urban. Malik from us. They have 3 wrs in the top 250 coming in next class and will most likely add Corley as the 4th. Their DL class of 14/15 are among the best. They are getting real high * talent at top of their classes now because results lead to players wanting to be part of it.
Our lame ass dip (thanks Ed Martin) stoked the seeds of this nearly a decade ago.
Now its going to be a much more difficult process to stop them as they have the coaching acumen and are now going to get more NFL type athletes right out of HS. The Big 10E is going to be a war until Dantonio exits in 5-6 years. None of these 3 programs is going away and every year is going to be determined by these head to head matchups among the 3.

Iowa should be ranked ahead of Ohio State and go to the Rose Bowl, but they probably won't.

-A losing Big Ten record (30-34 or .469)
-The single worst season in the history of Michigan football (my first year)
-Three seasons with 5 wins or less
-One win against OSU (1-7)
-One win against State (1-7)
-One single bowl victory (chance for two)
-One single 10+ win season (chance for two)
-No conference championships
-No division titles
-Three coaches
-We haven't won an outright conference championship since I was in middle school.
-We have beat OSU one time since I was in middle school.
Maybe when I get the fuck out of here, y'all can have nice things.

I wonder if this means that, if I go back and become a student again, we can get the success of the 1990s back since I was a student during that decade. Actually, to further test the theory, is there anyone else who was a student during the 1990s that would care to help me out? I think together we might even be able to bring back the hockey dominance too.

To return to the derail: it's going to be hilarious when Clemson or Bama just sets fire to a mediocre Sparty by 3-4 touchdowns.

Either OSU or MSU has had a share of the Big Ten title or won outright in 6 of my 8 years here. Fucking fuck this.

Dantonio is a good coach but has been given a decade to build a team.
They also turn 3 starts into NFL talent by feeding them horse hormones, its no secret.
Harbuagh had them beat in his first year with a team just learning what it takes to win. Just wait until we have an O-line and a running game. Their time is done, they lose Cook, their line, and the tide is about to turn.

Has never been a coach in the NFL. It's hard to compare them since Jim spent his prime coaching years(Up to this point) in an entirely different level of football. I think they are pretty even because Jim and Mark have both taken bad programs and made them relevant.

During State's down years he'd never watch the game w/me, and now that we're down its all smack, even tho I'm in the habit of sending him other Sparty relatives a short "nice win Sparty" text when they beat us or other important games. And offering to watch games w/him, even expecting a drubbing. (I was at M stadium for M/MSU this year...)
Expecting Sparty to stay classy is like expecting Trump to say something intelligent.
Sparty has a great coach, great program, but no class. None. I've long since given up hope of expecting more.

It's very possible this uptick in performance goes by without anything significant to show for it.
