Re: laptop controversy...they were just meeting university requirements, k.
Sims was just meeting his educational requirements (+/- $158 000)
Computer Requirement at Michigan State University
Overview
All undergraduate students at Michigan State are required to have a computer that can connect to the Internet using a high speed connection.

Not sure if the laptop thing gives us moral superiority given the Frank Clark thing. Glass houses and all.
January 3rd, 2013 at 2:06 PM ^
Yeah but the MSU Ski Mask Incident does!

read your posts as the Ultimate Warrior yelling at me.

Not to be a Debbie Downer, but James Brian Hellwig, aka the Ultimate Warrior, spews a lot of bigotry in his post-wrestling career.
Here's an example that I find inexplicable, considering how I used to root for him as a lad (WWF came to Bedrock aeons ago).

Goodbye, Tom! Keep that helmet strapped up for the postgame interview.
January 3rd, 2013 at 1:02 PM ^
Say it ain't so, Tommy!
January 3rd, 2013 at 1:02 PM ^
Michigan will not be facing him again, both because he IS a fine player, and because--to often--he crossed the line into unsportsmanlike conduct.
January 3rd, 2013 at 1:07 PM ^
TOO OFTEN. TOO.
January 3rd, 2013 at 1:22 PM ^
On the MGoBlog you better get your to/too's correct. See earlier Dion Sims thread

There are three (twos?, too's?, to's?) in the english language.

I think this will be my entire response to the misuse of to / too / two from now on.

You forgot about Tiw, Norse god of war.

I think it means constantly being a dick

You could say that...

Your e-singing voice is beautiful. You should try out for TheVoice.com or something (not that I know what that is).
January 3rd, 2013 at 1:03 PM ^
don't think it will affect their defense much, I mean the guy was much more bark than bite

Avon? I always thought you two had a mutual respect.
January 3rd, 2013 at 2:19 PM ^
+1 for referencing the wire.
January 3rd, 2013 at 2:11 PM ^
I had thought they used Denzel Drone quite a bit as Gholston's backup, but I could be wrong. The point remains that this might be the easiet component to replace of the three who have left in the last 18 hours or so. Supposedly, they have a RS freshman - Shilique Calhoun - that they claim to see as the logical replacement as well, but obviously, a lot of unknowns there in terms of ceiling for him. If the Spartans feel this anywhere next year, it might be in the areas of TFL and sacks, where Gholston still contributed about 20% of each for for them. In combination with other losses, Narduzzi may have to design a secret blitz that requires no pass rushing, of course.
January 3rd, 2013 at 1:03 PM ^
Gibbons likes Pirates.
January 3rd, 2013 at 1:04 PM ^
Including early departures, who is MSU losing this year? How many seniors?
January 3rd, 2013 at 1:28 PM ^
Johnny Adams at CB, Norman at LB, Hoover and White at DT, Gholston
McDonald and Fonoti on the OL
Sims at TE and Bell at RB
Dan Conroy at kicker
O should be very poor, worse than this year. They still have the core of a good D with Rush, Bullough, Denicos Allen, I.Lewis and Dennard. But not as good as this year
January 3rd, 2013 at 1:41 PM ^
To be fair, we are losing a lot in the trenches too. Next year's offensive line is probably going to be brutal, at times. Could be as many as three redshirt freshmen starting.
January 3rd, 2013 at 1:44 PM ^
It could be bad, but guys like Kalis might be an upgrade after another offseason of coaching and camps.
January 3rd, 2013 at 2:03 PM ^
January 3rd, 2013 at 1:06 PM ^
He'll be a combine warrior and be drafted way too high like Vernon.
January 3rd, 2013 at 4:02 PM ^
Vernon was actually productive in college, and only flopped once his pharmaceutical tendencies started to be scrutinized in the NFL.
Tom was never productive. Even if you're a physical freak, you won't do much in college if you loaf around on the majority of plays. NFL scouts watch for that kind of thing.
January 3rd, 2013 at 1:05 PM ^
January 3rd, 2013 at 1:07 PM ^
Where's the threat in EL? All gone to the NFL, LOL.
January 3rd, 2013 at 1:07 PM ^
January 3rd, 2013 at 2:04 PM ^
He has also mastered the art of just leaning on the OL.
January 3rd, 2013 at 1:07 PM ^
With Sims, Bell, and Gholston gone, what impact does that have on Bullough & Dennard? MSU is really lucky that they seem to have held on to Narduzzi, because if he left too it could be completely back breaking to this team.
January 3rd, 2013 at 1:22 PM ^
Bullough's an MSU legacy guy, so I think he's staying no matter what. Dennard's said he's leaning towards staying, but wasn't 100% sure. The departure of three teammates might sway him.
January 3rd, 2013 at 1:07 PM ^
Should have boxed the Sparty exodus trifecta rather than playing it straight. My losing ticket had Bell announcing 1st, Ghoston 2nd, and Sims 3rd.
January 3rd, 2013 at 1:09 PM ^
January 3rd, 2013 at 1:09 PM ^
No need to worry. I'm sure Dantonio to will shape a new Gholtson like player who plays tough, acts like a thug and makes unsportsmanlike conduct a work of art.
January 3rd, 2013 at 1:10 PM ^
It's honestly a good idea for him to leave this year. He'll be drafted in the mid rounds on potential. If he stayed another year and had another lackluster performance, he may not be drafted at all.
January 3rd, 2013 at 1:40 PM ^
the exact same thing. Better to be a 4th/5th round guy now, than a FA next year. On the other hand, staying and finishing a degree so you can actually contribute to society at some point in your life isn't a bad idea either. But of course, that concept is lost on a lot of good college athletes.
