4 weeks 6 days ago Well, in more practical

Well, in more practical classes (read: using the material after college), this kind of thing matters.  I went to grad school for engineering at top 50 school (better than MSU) and TA'd classes that I took as an undergrad at a top 20 school (almost as good as Michigan).  

There was a shocking difference in difficulty and hand-holding.  In the top 20 school, you were required to figure things out on your own with very little help.  If you couldn't figure it out during a lab, then you fail, so you better understand what you are doing prior to showing up for the lab and be prepared to do what you had to do.  As a TA, at the top 50 school, I was 'required' to answer any question that students had, so labs became a long series of 'what do I do next' requiring no preparation or thought by the students.

Let's just say that one place teaches you to think for yourself and the other teaches you how to do what other people tell you to do and leave it at that.

Nice to see my undergrad alma mater get some love.  RPI games were fun in the early 90's...
9 weeks 5 days ago Those guys are not exactly

Those guys are not exactly subjective.  Some of them think our game next year at Minny is a toss-up.  Sure, we could lose, but there is no way that is a 50-50 game.

Sad and it will definitely hurt us next year, but probably time to move on.

Additionally, part of that is on the defender who gambled when he went for the ball rather than playing the man and trying to knock the ball loose.  That happens a lot.  When it does, it usually means the receiver is running free past the DB.
20 weeks 1 day ago Seriously.  How about the no

Seriously.  How about the no call block in the face on our DB on that 4th and 11 play that Logan ran for?  He almost knocked our guy's helmet off.  That would have saved the TD.
20 weeks 1 day ago Wow, who would have thought

Wow, who would have thought going into this year that we would win a BCS game in OT on a FG.  Amazing!

Ugh, that was Georgia-esque.  Not cool.
