Three times in BCS history an at-large bid has gone to a conference championship game loser. Two of those three were 2008 Alabama and 2009 Florida, which means Sparty should have known what was up before they agreed to play the BTCG.

In all honesty, I think MSU is getting screwed because you shouldnt penalize a team for going to a big ten championship. If Michigan have gotten screwed like MSU, I know we would be all pissed off. I think it is hilarious that MSU got screwed. I drive bus for MSU and take the kids to class. I cant wait to laugh at everyone of those students that gets on my bus.

If MSU hadn't gotten creamed by ND and Nebraska we wouldn't be having this discussion. They got a shot at the B1G championship and a Rose Bowl but they didn't win. I don't feel sorry for them. Brady Hoke would have traded places with them in a second to be on that field, even if losing means you might not get a BCS bowl.

I sure love the schadenfreude, but I would happily trade our current position to have had a shot at the championship. And I'm actually feeling a lot of empathy for State today, having been the relatively recent victim of a 42-39 loss in a very important game, decided in part by a flag the ref really had no choice but to throw....

It feels like they wanted to lose this game so they can complain about how the world is unfair to them. Seriously guys, you have a chance to win the B10, just shut up and play for a chance in the Rose Bowl. More time watching film, less time complaining about life.

I found it quite appropriate that a team whose players lack discipline in their personal lives was done in by an obvious penalty for running into the kicker.  You can enable criminal behavior all you want as a coach, but it eventually comes back to bite you in the bleep.  Just a tad more discipline in EL and all of the schadenfreude is directed toward Madison.

This is a quote from The Only Colors thread that just made me laugh - and for the record, I'm an MSU alum (grad school).

 

We're one of the best traveling fanbases in the country With alums everywhere. Ohio State beats us out in bowl selections when possible, but beyond that, no other team has real legitimacy to based solely on +$.

 

When you can't sell out your rinky-dink stadium for home games, and had trouble filling whatever allotment the Cap One bowl gave you for last year's game in Florida, you have NO claim to being a national fanbase that travels well.  Driving from EL to A2 for a Juggalo's convention does not a mobile fanbase make.

I'm shocked that MSU fans are crying about the penalty, claiming that it was a bad call or that the MSU player was blocked into the kicker.

1. Don't call a punt block with the kind of field position you can get with plenty of time on the clock and an offense that had been moving the ball really well. It was almost guaranteed to at least go into OT.
2. The blocker barely touched the guy rushing and certainly didn't block him into the kicker. The angle was overly aggressive and he put himself in a bad position.
3. Flop or not (and it was a bit of a flop) - that penalty will get called 99% of the time in at any point of any game. I've seen the penalty called on much less contact than that before, so even if he "grazed a hamsting" he still ran into the kicker. And punters/kickers are coached to go down like that if there's contact - any smart player on any team would've done the exact same thing.

The penalty wasn't even remotely close to "borderline" as some Sparties are saying. Quit making excuses and own up to your team's mistakes.

Not to mention that the Sparty player's foot whacked the kicker on the way through anyway. Even if he'd missed him with the body, the foot hit the punter. I laughed so hard when I saw it happen. The punter getting up and celebrating made it even better!

The punter was absolutely roughed. Yeah he acted, but it just made it an easier call for the ref. Whining about that call is really digging for something to complain about

Also, and maybe because there were no replays it wasn't that big a deal, but on the return I thought there was a block in the back that would have negated return anyway.

It was a tough way to lose a game, but so was allowing a 40+-yard bomb on 4th down.

Brady Hoke, after losing to Wisc in the first ever B1G Championship game: "I made a mistake calling for Lewis to block that punt.  He played aggressive football, just like we coach him..my bad."

Mark Dantonio in the same situation:

“I don’t know if he hit him,” Dantonio said. “You probably have seen all the replays, but he threw the flag. I thought he flopped a little bit.”

If it weren't for low class they would have no class at all.

He can't be sure whether he hit him or not because he hasn't seen the replays.  Okay, fair enough.  But, how is he then sure that he flopped?

Again, for all the "Dantonio is a hard-nosed coach who loves his team" crap we hear, he sure does whine a whole lot.  He's an average coach who had a senior-laden team and a down rival for a couple of years - I'd be amazed if they won more than 8 games next year considering they have only a couple of playmakers returning on offense, are breaking in a new QB, and have holes on the defensive side that probably won't be filled easily.  Heck, getting bowl eligible may be tough considering they also have to go on the road for a bunch of games.

That the hail Mary Td pass over wiscy didn't guaranty a victory since the game was going to OT, no penalty on the punt doesn't guaranty a victory as MSU likely scores and leaves about a minute on the clock for wiscy, which is a lot of time.
