Outback Bowl Open Thread
January 2nd, 2012 at 2:28 PM ^
Georgia's Williams took a knee to the side of the head. I hope he doesn't have a concussion, that would suck.
January 2nd, 2012 at 2:29 PM ^
Could any QB be more overrated than Kirk Cousins? It's all because of that "special" (read: pandering, after-school-specialish) speech he gave.
January 2nd, 2012 at 2:32 PM ^
Hoyer and Stanton come to mind...
January 2nd, 2012 at 2:29 PM ^
And they just sparted again.
January 2nd, 2012 at 2:31 PM ^
is not looking good this bowl season.
Regardless....i still wont pull for MSU or Ohio St..
If i did that i would never be able to sleep at night.
And i could never take enough showers to get that ICK off of me...
January 2nd, 2012 at 2:45 PM ^
Agreed. Hope they both lose.
January 2nd, 2012 at 2:33 PM ^
First time in forever that I've seen Dantonio visibly flustered.
January 2nd, 2012 at 2:33 PM ^
its a shame Millen isn't around to draft Cousins in the second round, would be the only chance he has at getting drafted
January 2nd, 2012 at 2:33 PM ^
Dude needs t
January 2nd, 2012 at 2:34 PM ^
Got this game on the other screen.
The Georiga D is going 'Portal' on MSU receivers. The Spartans' best drive ends in two points for Georgia. The B1G is not looking good right now.
January 2nd, 2012 at 2:35 PM ^
liked that speech by Cousins.
But yea....he is not nearly as good as we let him appear in the games against us.
I do think he is better than average though.
January 2nd, 2012 at 2:36 PM ^
If this game ends up a blowout, it could cause a bit of unrest in EL, and might make a difference in one or two recruits.
Also, if Sparty does get blown out and Michigan beats VT, it is going to be tough for even the most braggadocious of Sparty fans to pound the pulpit about about being "better than Michigan."
January 2nd, 2012 at 5:45 PM ^
here?
In case you missed it, MSU beat Michigan this year. What more is there to say?
January 2nd, 2012 at 2:37 PM ^
MSU is not an elite program.
January 2nd, 2012 at 2:41 PM ^
They are just rolling over. Plus look at all the empty seats? Tampa not that bad of a drive and it's a good bowl matchup.
January 2nd, 2012 at 2:46 PM ^
You have to recruit nationally to be elite, don't you?
January 2nd, 2012 at 2:41 PM ^
Sparty just plain sucks in bowl games. Even Nick Saban got blown out all the time in bowls when he was there. The party mentality of MSU may be too ingrained for the players to resist temptation.
January 2nd, 2012 at 2:42 PM ^
Lovin it.
Giddy for another Sparty blowout to start 2012 too... Boise > UGA >>>>>>>>>>> Moo U.
January 2nd, 2012 at 2:53 PM ^
BSU does not have the athletes that UGA does on defense. I expect MSU to win that game.
January 2nd, 2012 at 3:00 PM ^
BSU beat UGA in Atlanta fergodsakes. As far as "athletes" go, I guess you didn't see the final score.
January 2nd, 2012 at 2:42 PM ^
go to rcmb right now it's gold
January 2nd, 2012 at 2:56 PM ^
January 2nd, 2012 at 5:47 PM ^
Almost 500 posts here about MSU's bowl game.
Oh, and be thankful that UM is not playing an SEC team. Denard would just be another guy on the field.
January 2nd, 2012 at 2:43 PM ^
How bout them dogs mark richt the Carr if the SEC
January 2nd, 2012 at 2:44 PM ^
Georgia is good, but DAMN Sparty. Where was the feeble, unimaginative offense back in October?
January 2nd, 2012 at 2:47 PM ^
It is because it is their super bowl when they play us.
January 2nd, 2012 at 2:45 PM ^
Say that this game is meaningless.
Don't they know recruits watch these games?
January 2nd, 2012 at 3:21 PM ^
Dantonio to recruits: "Sure, my teams are 0-5 in games I have a month to prepare for, but they're just exhibition games. That doesn't mean I'm not the greatest coach in the universe. Speaking of Michigan, did you hear they have skeletons underneath their turf?"
January 2nd, 2012 at 2:47 PM ^
I hate OSU and MSU with PSU not being too far behind but I hope a rout of the Big Ten Teams will not hurt the conference.
January 2nd, 2012 at 2:49 PM ^
tempted to start a days since MSU last won a bowl game clock but that would be too sparty of a thing to do
January 2nd, 2012 at 2:52 PM ^
Needs no clock.
January 2nd, 2012 at 3:33 PM ^
Should that not be PLAXidentally?
January 2nd, 2012 at 5:10 PM ^
BOOM. SEC Education'd
January 2nd, 2012 at 2:56 PM ^
Still a lot of football left to be played. I hope the Georgia D can keep this up but I have a feeling Sparty will make a second half run.
January 2nd, 2012 at 3:00 PM ^
Love me some 3 yard passes on 3rd and 4. Good playcalling and execution.
January 2nd, 2012 at 3:01 PM ^
I am impressed that punt went beyond the 30. It seems relatively laidback as punts go.
January 2nd, 2012 at 3:02 PM ^
Wow, that's funny.
Has Michigan sold all of their tickets to the Sugar Bowl?
January 2nd, 2012 at 3:06 PM ^
Sparty should run that one play where they complete a pass one yard short of the first down, it can't NOT work every time... right?
Between that and calling a bubble screen from your own endzone, I think the Sparty OC might be the dumbest man alive.
January 2nd, 2012 at 3:06 PM ^
Did anyone else see Eisengard on that close-up of Sparty's eye?
January 2nd, 2012 at 3:08 PM ^
Georgia is a talented squad, but this game kind of reaffirms how over-prepared MSU tends to be for a couple of games every year in the Big 10, and how they apparently cannot remain that level of pereparedness in the bowl season.
The only caveat I'll give them is that last year's Alabama team, and this year's Georgia team, may be quite a bit better than their ranking. Especially next year, Georgia should be a top-10 outfit with a chance to compete for an MNC. That's tough for a team like MSU, which can keep up with teams they see every year but don't have the playmakers to match up against an NFL factory like UGa.
January 2nd, 2012 at 3:13 PM ^
LeVeon Bell said Boykin can "have some"
EDIT: Then gave him seconds
January 2nd, 2012 at 3:11 PM ^
January 2nd, 2012 at 3:14 PM ^
...and the 2-point conversion makes it 16-8 Georgia.
Dare I say it is a game now, or is there another safety on fate's road?
January 2nd, 2012 at 3:19 PM ^
Come on Georgia! WTF!
January 2nd, 2012 at 3:20 PM ^
typical MSU trying to start a fight
January 2nd, 2012 at 3:24 PM ^
How is someone of Linthicum's size hiding in plain sight out in the Georgia backfield?
January 2nd, 2012 at 3:24 PM ^
Why do they insist on putting Baker in?
January 2nd, 2012 at 3:28 PM ^
That's why you don't take out Worthy.
January 2nd, 2012 at 3:29 PM ^
Haha. Way to give up a 3rd and 8 inside the 3.
