Tyler O'Connor plays the toughness card, but with a twist
He said it was a Michigan player who admitted to him MSU was tougher. Or something.
Guy is better story teller than passer. Which isn't saying much. This was linked on social media and not paywalled content on Rivals, so I assume it's OK to post.

They wouldn't keep score. They wouldn't even use a football. They'd just hit, hit, hit!!!!

that means we're undefeated when supposedly getting out-toughed....lucky us!

I just saw that sports-reference logged 0 tackles/TFLs/sacks for Peppers, that can't be right, is it?
Edit: nvm, cfbstats.com has 7 tackles, 2 TFLs, 1 sack!!!
October 30th, 2016 at 5:32 PM ^
He had the 4th and 1 tackle on MSU's 2nd drive - so no.
October 30th, 2016 at 5:37 PM ^
And a sack on 4th down in the 4th when they were attempting to drive for the tie. I kind of blanked out that part.

If Spartan Bob can manipulate the clock, why can't they manipulate the scoreboard?

My bad---brain fart
October 30th, 2016 at 5:55 PM ^
Disregard; I had a brain fart and got their last two drives mixed up. No wonder it seemed wrong to me. I knew I would have remembered that!
October 30th, 2016 at 6:00 PM ^
They were never driving for the tie. They were down 13 both times.

MSU students are used to making up stories. After all they all got in to Michigan and CHOSE state.

The fall scenery while driving past the plant, bovine, pig, and inland lake research areas of MSU's campus, so they've got that going for them.

I'll give him this, at least he kept the tweet up and took the heat from Michigan fans unlike his fellow LB Reschke.

MSU is no cheaper than Michigan for residents.

I could see someone saying that they played hard or they were tough, but there's not a football player on earth worth a damn who would say that. No way in hell.

MSU fans change the truth to fit whatever narrative they want. Bring up this year and it's all about 7 of 8 or "it's only one season!" Last year all I heard was how Harbaugh would take time to turn the program around or how he wasn't as good as Mork anyway. They are literally like the little brother who can talk trash while getting his ass beat in whatever competition is going on. Meanwhile my lifelong Michigan fan father treated yesterday like a loss because Michigan didn't utterly dominate. Michigan fans know exellence and won't settle for less, while Spartan fans find the boundaries of sportsmanship and shit all over them.
October 30th, 2016 at 6:46 PM ^
My favorite that I heard a lot was;
Before Harbaugh came back to Michigan: "Harbaugh is a great coach, but there's ZERO CHANCE he would leave the NFL to go to Michigan! LOL @ delusional Michigan fans!"
After Harbaugh came back: "Big deal, Harbaugh isn't really that good anyhow! No way that guy is a top 10 college coach! He'll be lucky to turn Michigan back into an 8-4 team! LOL stupid Michigan fans!"
After winning a lot of games: "OK, Harbaugh is a great coach, but there's no way he'll stay at Michigan more than a year or two, tops! LOL Michigan fans are morons if they'll think he's not gone soon"
