Mark Dantonio is a moron - MSU vs. AirForce
MSU up 35-14 on Air Force and he keeps all of his starters in with 6:00 mins left in the game. Lawrence Thomas just went down with a bad knee injury.
EDIT: Some will comment that we had our starters in, however, as a poster noted I think it's different because our starters are unproven, while Michigan State is clearly a proven side.
UPDATE: 2 mins left and Bullough just got kicked out of the game.
September 19th, 2015 at 3:07 PM ^
We had our starters still playing in to the 4th.
September 19th, 2015 at 3:09 PM ^
Keep your facts out of this!
September 19th, 2015 at 3:11 PM ^
It's one thing when you've got a good first string and you can put them away for the rest of the game. Our first string offense is very suspect. They need as many reps as they can get - and it may still not be enough.
September 19th, 2015 at 3:13 PM ^
You seem to be very concerned...
September 19th, 2015 at 3:17 PM ^
Okay... I will try it with my Google Translator set to "coach speak."
"I'm really happy that we got the win. We have a few things to clean up. Still making a few too many mistakes, especially on offense."
September 19th, 2015 at 4:52 PM ^
he needed to stay in today. . .get more reps.
September 19th, 2015 at 3:09 PM ^
he went for the kill...kinda the opposite of what we did. Sometimes their are downsides to that
September 19th, 2015 at 3:10 PM ^
It's an unnecessary risk. Let's keep our players safe
September 19th, 2015 at 3:16 PM ^
I agree...but judging by all the annoying posts at the end of the game, most on this board would have tried to shave UNLV unnecesarily into dust when you are beating them by 21 with 10 minutes to go
September 20th, 2015 at 11:16 AM ^
Pull all the players? Someone can always get hurt. You just don't want the Best players to get hurt.
September 19th, 2015 at 3:25 PM ^
what is are downsides
September 19th, 2015 at 3:41 PM ^

There are plenty of pejoratives that fit, but moron isn't one of them.
It's as if the OP thinks he could have turned a Sparty No! program into what it is today.

Nothing wrong with keeping the starters in there. But MSU has also looked underwhelming today, getting outgained by Air Force.
September 19th, 2015 at 4:51 PM ^
What does Mark say about pride before the fall. Long way to go but this is not a NC football team.
September 19th, 2015 at 3:12 PM ^
Did I just watch the Swedish Chef talking to Frank Caliendo pretending he was Chris Berman?
September 19th, 2015 at 3:12 PM ^
How are we supposed to answer that?
September 19th, 2015 at 3:45 PM ^
"Yes" would work
September 19th, 2015 at 3:14 PM ^
You did. Those bastards killed The Muppets.
September 19th, 2015 at 3:12 PM ^
We did the same for the most part. People get hurt playing football. We don't need to try to pile on every chance possible.
September 19th, 2015 at 3:14 PM ^
So am you!
September 19th, 2015 at 3:16 PM ^
I love how some smart ass poster has to start a thread about hiw dumb dantonio is every fucking week while they keep winning and we still look like we have a long way to go...
September 19th, 2015 at 3:18 PM ^
They also had another special teams mishap. MSU has a ways to go as well.
September 19th, 2015 at 3:34 PM ^
Cook is also very inconsistent when they play decent teams. I don't know who's going to win but I have a feeling the final score when we play them will be 8-4.
September 19th, 2015 at 3:19 PM ^
The only this worse than these threads is the overreaction to them.
September 19th, 2015 at 4:34 PM ^
Everything they do is so dramatic and flamboyant. It just makes me want to set myself on fire.
September 19th, 2015 at 4:45 PM ^
Are you a couch?
September 19th, 2015 at 3:15 PM ^
This season must be trying for Spartan fans, knowing their alma maters, WMU and CMU, are both on the schedule.
September 19th, 2015 at 3:16 PM ^
Several games where he kept his foot on a gas the whole time.
September 19th, 2015 at 3:16 PM ^
Lol Bullough just got ejected for targeting
September 19th, 2015 at 3:16 PM ^
Out one half next game!
September 19th, 2015 at 3:18 PM ^
Dantonio must have had a Benjamin on the game, Now he's down 2 scores.
September 19th, 2015 at 3:23 PM ^
MSU had 77 yards on 42 carries. Woof.
September 19th, 2015 at 3:28 PM ^
Kind if reminds me of when UM played AF last time...

Air Forces run D was actually really good for most of the game, they were really overwhelming MSU at the point of attack, that said Burbridge is the real deal and they couldn't cover him.
September 19th, 2015 at 3:21 PM ^
When style points count, you will see more of this.

it's a 2-3 score game. Not like it's 63-0 or something. As soon as you accept that our program is behind MSU right now, the better off you will be.
September 19th, 2015 at 6:14 PM ^
Somehow the homers here will rationalize our underwhelming win over another terrible team puts us in contention with msu and osu.

You mean Riley Bullough?
September 19th, 2015 at 3:23 PM ^
Didn't we keep our starting defense in until the final whistle?
September 19th, 2015 at 3:27 PM ^
Nope. Some starters but not the whole team.

No, was mostly all back ups the last third of the fourth quarter. Wilson was only starter I really saw.
