Sparty's Cupcake Conference Schedule

Submitted by Mike Damone on

Sparty may have a good team, but I can't let their regular season BIG championship go without mentioning that they got a HUGE break with their schedule.  Perhaps the most advantageous I have seen.  Consider their schedule against what I consider the top 5 other teams in the BIG:

Michigan - Only played once at home, did not have to play on the road.  Lost at home.

Ohio State - Only played once on the road, and lost.

Purdue, Nebraska and Penn State - Only played once at home and did not have to play on the road.  Won at home.  All three are absolute bears to beat on the road.  Michigan had to play all three on the road, and went 1-2.

Don't want this to be sour grapes, and I know they cant control their schedule.  But man...

Bring on the tourneys, and let the best team prevail!  Go Blue!

Hope you're having a good day trolling.

 

Post those "facts" about how the OTL reporter was lying when you get around to it. Otherwise you're just blowing a bunch of smoke.

 

And I'm not talking about that horrible Sean Campbell "analysis" what reads like it was written by a 2L, cherry picks facts, ignores how investigative reporting works on the most fundamental level, and uses the fact that a journalist is not going to name sources against it. Talk about throwing shit against the wall.

...But it's not like the MSUPD, the Ingham County DA office, and the independant Title IX investoigators didn't see this video.  They all saw this video and still decided that there wasn't enough evidence to press charges or recommend any punishments.  The DA went so far as to say that "no crime occured".  That leaves 2 possibilies...

A.  No crime occured or one did occur but due to unreliability of the accuser and/or lack of evidence it was too difficult to proceed with charges.  Either way our criminal justice system fullfilled it's repsonsibilities and the case is closed.

B.  The MSUPD, the Ingham County DA office, and Title iX investigators are all corrupt and instigated a cover up to protect an MSU athlete.

Option A happens all the time and is a fairly routine outcome in our criminal justice system.  If you really believe it's Option B you should present all of your evidence of this massive conspiracy to the State AG.

As luck would have it he is currently in the middle of a a pretty big investigation related to this alleged conspiracy and would surely welcome all of your evidence.

One has little to do with the other.  Unless of course you believe there was an impossily massive conspiracy involving MSU, Oekmos PD, USA Gymnastics, The US Olympic Team, the FBI, the parents of the victims, etc, etc etc. to knowingly cover-up Nassar's crimes.

An extraordinary claim to say the least.

And really demonstrates Harbaugh’s effect. Per Bubba’s post, Michigan averaged 3.5 arrests per year under Hoke and 1 arrest per year under Harbaugh.

Another reason I’m proud Harbaugh is our coach. Thanks to Bubba for pointing out.

It certainly helps when you have the campus police, the EL police and the city prosecutor in the bag.

After watching Paynes interview you cant tell me that this isnt true and that Appling and Payne didnt deserve to do prison time for that incident.

I mean come on. He could buy and sell you right now if he was about the money. I mean if your mom was accused of something wouldn't that shake you? Besides, he did sink some high leverage free throws to help put down Wisconsin on the road (who has been playing very well at home lately).

But for years I respected Izzo.    With all that has happened, and really the "I hope they got the right guy" comment, I love watching him now.    He looks like a total mess!     I do feel bad for some at MSU that are not involved tho.    I think so much more is going to come out and maybe this conference title is all they can hold on to?   I still don't understand why more is not done for the victims tho?    

But I do hope we play them in the BTT and in the Tourney.    Go blue!

So because your brother is full of shit, that means that I am as well?  Sound logic.

How much money was proven to be paid out to the fab 5?  

How much money was proven to be paid out to any MSU player?

I’m saying simply that as a fan not Alum or family member you seem to be really oblivious as to how much crap we have taken from your fanbase. The Fab 5 jab is something that you all have obviously repeated and rubbed in. The difference between us both is the power of attorney that your coach has in Ingham county and the ability to shovel crap into to river of Agricultural Oblivion.
