Sparty No!!!

"60 Minutes of Unnecessary Roughness" . . . Oops!

Wasn't that last punt a perfect analogy for this Michigan State team? They score a TD, or come close to it, and they get a penalty which makes them lose the game.
I thought he was some what pushed into the kicker, but still.

Stay away from the Rose Bowl another 20 years by it....

"I don't know if he hit him," Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio said. -- from USAToday today. Guess he didn't see the replay.
December 4th, 2011 at 12:15 AM ^
You are my hero.
+ Eleventy bazillion.
December 4th, 2011 at 12:49 AM ^
Perfect

The only way it could've been better was if Gholston had been the one to get the penalty.
That derp was the most enjoyable derp in the history of derps.
December 4th, 2011 at 12:29 AM ^
Gholson. Tom Gholson, thank you very much.

My wife says MSU plays football like their solar car races. And, she was at the Formula Sun Grand Prix, at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and saw MSU's solar car in person. I lol'd loudly at her great analogy.

If you were a State fan you would be pissed, however, it was the right call, and probably could have been a 15-yarder. Course, I'm sure you're not a State fan, so we're all good!
December 4th, 2011 at 12:30 AM ^
He ran into the kicking leg, right?
December 4th, 2011 at 12:18 AM ^
Pissed because you don't think it was a legitimate call or pissed because it was soooo stupid?
December 4th, 2011 at 12:22 AM ^
I think he means pissed in the sense of "completely fucking wasted on Natty Ice since 2 this afternoon" but I don't wanna put words in his mouth.
December 4th, 2011 at 12:40 AM ^
"...completely fucking wasted on the four Natty Ices he's had since 2 this afternoon."
Fixed that for you.

The inferiority complex is so bad up there that anything that happens to Sparty, whether it is good or bad, is always compared Michigan.
It's not that they had a shot to go to the Rose Bowl and lost legitamately, but that Michigan sucks because they may have a shot at a BCS bowl and boo hoo.
Makes me smile.

If you were a State fan, I'd be laughing at you now. Good think you're not. It's an evil laugh.
December 4th, 2011 at 12:08 AM ^
So what are the odds they'll be ranked ahead of us BCS wise. That would be dumb because I don't think any bowl wants them as at large.
December 4th, 2011 at 12:16 AM ^
I'm kind of hoping we finish 14th and MSU finishes 13th. Then we get picked for a BCS bowl and they don't. That would be perfect.
December 4th, 2011 at 12:19 AM ^
That would make me go ape if I was a State fan, but seeing as how I am the opposite of that, it is a dream scenario!
December 4th, 2011 at 12:22 AM ^
There is precedent for this, back in 1999. A repeat would be nice as a reminder to State about who matters nationally.
December 4th, 2011 at 12:53 AM ^
They are recruiting nationally, remember? They matter nationally...
December 4th, 2011 at 1:15 AM ^
jMSU?
December 4th, 2011 at 12:29 AM ^
Teams that should fall below us: Houston, UGA, Oklahoma. That puts us at 13th or so. MSU can't move up by common voting precedence, so that means we should pass them and go to 12th. The only way we don't pass MSU is if Baylor passes both of us, MSU stays at 13 and Michigan goes to 14.
I think we are ranked in the 11-13 range tomorrow. What's good about this, though, is that it probably keeps MSU ahead of TCU, potentially leaving them out of the bowl if Georgia and Houston don't both fall past them. If OSU gets into the NCG, then that means that there are 3 true non-AQ picks in the BCS because Houston is no longer an AQ and Bama would eat the #3/#4 non-champ AQ, leaving Stanford as an at-large team. That opens up potential teams for us to play. Stanford, Baylor, KSU, BSU, VaTech, and WVU are all possibilities at this point.

Moo U always seems to do some stupid $hit to get themselves out of a game. History repeats itself over and over again. Mike Clark (WRIF) is having a meltdown as I type this.
December 4th, 2011 at 12:08 AM ^
Michigan probably just lost it's BCS game due to MSU's roughing the kicker. Since the MSU/UW game was close, voters will keep MSU ahead of UM. Arghhh!!!
December 4th, 2011 at 12:13 AM ^
lost so UM still has a good shot at a BCS bowl. OU and UGA losing big help Michigan a lot.
December 4th, 2011 at 12:14 AM ^
They're already way behind in the computers, so falling even a couple of spots in the polls will be enough for us to pass them.
December 4th, 2011 at 12:14 AM ^
it's ok people oklahoma lost bad, houston lost, and georgia lost. We'll be in the top 14
December 4th, 2011 at 12:16 AM ^
Probably not. OU, Georgia, probably Houston will all drop below us.
December 4th, 2011 at 12:08 AM ^
Tough way to lose, but he ref had no choice but to throw the flag. This was a very entertaining game to watch. It's bittersweet that it's a virtual lock that Michigan will be BCS Bowling and sparty will not.
December 4th, 2011 at 12:17 AM ^
I think it tastes delicious, not bitter at all.
December 4th, 2011 at 12:22 AM ^
Bitter like a sweet, sweet jar of Sugar!!!!!
December 4th, 2011 at 12:40 AM ^
Like a big bowl of Krusty Flakes.
December 4th, 2011 at 12:23 AM ^
could someone enlighten me on the bitter half of this..? I understand the sweet!
December 4th, 2011 at 12:24 AM ^
It's bittersweet that it's a virtual lock that Michigan will be BCS Bowling and sparty will not.
Bittersweet would imply that there was something bad about that.
December 4th, 2011 at 12:38 AM ^
I posted once, and it's all over ... sorry - lol.
I feel, with Michigan and Ohio State down, this was MSU's biggest chance to do something -- go to the ROSE BOWL, while we were down, and it didn't happen... Thing is, Ohio State won't be down for long, nor will Michigan. When will MSU play in the Big Ten Championship again ..... I am betting it'll be awhile.
December 4th, 2011 at 10:07 AM ^
how is that "down"? Except for losing to an MSU team that, per Brady, manhandled us, and to an Iowa team we should've at least had the chance to tie at the end of regulation, how were we down this season?
December 4th, 2011 at 12:13 AM ^
Sorry - my bad.
But you can't feel bad for Sparty here .. you can't.
December 4th, 2011 at 12:22 AM ^
December 4th, 2011 at 12:09 AM ^
As I remember either they lost big or win. A competitive game won't drop them much.
December 4th, 2011 at 12:16 AM ^
That helped:)
December 4th, 2011 at 12:10 AM ^
Apparently over on rcmb that was a "bullshit call" and the punter is a "fucking flopper"
December 4th, 2011 at 12:10 AM ^
Don't run into the punter -- EVER!
December 4th, 2011 at 12:10 AM ^
One rose bowl in over 40 years
