Exactly How Prideful Was Dantonio and MSU?
October 24th, 2020 at 3:35 PM ^
LOLz Staee looked horrible.
October 24th, 2020 at 3:39 PM ^
I assume MSU loses it's S to Rutger and it's now Rutgers and Michigan taee?
October 24th, 2020 at 4:03 PM ^
counter proposal, Michigan State looses it's 'M' so we have Rutgerm and Ichigan State?

Or is Rutgers and M_U. Sound it out kids.
MMMMMMoooooooooooooooooooooooo.
October 24th, 2020 at 3:36 PM ^
Ah sparty karma really is a bitch ain’t it? Nothing makes me happier I hope they go 0-8 this year
October 24th, 2020 at 3:57 PM ^
Amen to that. I'm all in for an 0-8 Sparty season. No Green-No White!
October 25th, 2020 at 10:36 AM ^
Thats a funny one...I see what you did there!
October 24th, 2020 at 4:17 PM ^
No need to sell them short, don't forget the 7v7 B1G game! They could lose to 0-8 Illinois and end up at 0-9!
October 24th, 2020 at 3:37 PM ^
It's a real shame Mork didn't stick around for what he deserved.
October 24th, 2020 at 3:42 PM ^
he knew this was coming. he wanted to preserve his record against UM.
October 24th, 2020 at 3:51 PM ^
Beating RichRod and Hoke is like beating John L Smith:
You can count the wins, you can be happy...but it's not much of an accomplishment.
[Lest we forget, John L Smith used Drew Stanton the way Hoke used Devin Gardner...infuriatingly, criminally set up for failure.]
October 24th, 2020 at 4:37 PM ^
John L Smith, talk about a slap in the face....
October 24th, 2020 at 3:52 PM ^
He had a losing record against harbaugh. His only real success came against the two worst coaches in our program’s entire history.
October 24th, 2020 at 3:50 PM ^
Shit hit the fan ever since the playoff game against alabama
October 25th, 2020 at 12:15 PM ^
He was lucky to even make the playoffs. It required the most unlikely gift in history.
Making the playoffs helped them bring in their highest ranked class in Dantonio’s tenure. That class also happened to bring on his downfall.
its funny how life can turn. #the spot.
October 24th, 2020 at 5:11 PM ^
Well he was on the sideline to witness it today.
October 24th, 2020 at 3:39 PM ^
Haven't seen an MSU QB look that bad since the good ole days of....Jeff Smoker? Todd Schulz?
October 24th, 2020 at 3:45 PM ^
He looked really bad to me too. But he was 31/44 with 319 yards. State’s problem was the 7 turnovers and 1.6 yards per carry on 38 attempts.
EDIT: I bet Lombardi got half his passing yards in the last 10 minutes when Rutgers went to the prevent defense.
October 24th, 2020 at 3:59 PM ^
Following the Kirk Cousins garbage time stat padding I see. He'll get an $80+ million NFL contract at this rate.
October 24th, 2020 at 4:58 PM ^
You'd be wrong with that bet. His numbers were decent throughout the game and came pretty much uniformly. I think he had almost half of his yards at halftime. He did have about 75 yards in the last two drives but that's still proportional. He was like 20-26 with 240 yards 2 TD, 1 INT in the third quarter which is solid.
MSU had 7 turnovers. 7!!!!! That was the story of the game. And as much as I want to dance on their grave, it was mostly of the unlucky variety as opposed to strip sacks because of a porous OL - of which there was only one. Two WR lost fumbles after catches, one RB fumble lost and a muffed punt. That's very unlucky. Even if you're fumbling that often, to lose 5 is crazy. Like early Michigan 2019 unlucky. That won't last.
They outgained Rutgers by 100 yards despite ending 7 drives with TOs. So, I don't think it's as bad for them as it looks (but still probably as bad as everyone expected, just maybe not worse though). They are a bad team but not fail-to-cover-against-Rutgers-by-21 bad.
October 24th, 2020 at 5:07 PM ^
I don't think MSU is a dumpster fire. I also don't think Rutgers is good. They're just not a completely incompetent group of guys that has 1 legitimate Big Ten football player anymore. Rutgers is still bad and MSU out gaining them isn't a sign that they're much better.
October 25th, 2020 at 10:44 AM ^
Maybe all of this is a setup for a big comeback against us next week?
/s
October 24th, 2020 at 5:12 PM ^
Totally agree with you True. I didn't think Lombardi was the issue today. He was ok. The Oline however was horrible. That's not going to get any better this year. No, they won't turn it over 7 times a week, but they're not gonna be very good either. Gonna be a tough rebuild for Tucker up there.
October 24th, 2020 at 8:03 PM ^
Those 7 turnovers don't include 2 turnovers on downs as well. Rocky was decent today. He missed a couple deep throws and had 2 miscommunications with WRs, one of which resulted in a pick. He fumbled on our own 1 yard line, but that was because the RB completely whiffed on a blitz pickup and the guy hit Rocky as he went to throw - not exactly Rocky's fault. There was another strip sack that MSU recovered where Rocky waited in the pocket too long and didn't have the ball secured, so I guess that evens out the fumble that wasn't his fault. I don't expect the rest of the team to have 3 fumbles and a muffed punt every game, but it's definitely concerning. The real problem is the O-line. They couldn't get a push at all against Rutgers which is pretty scary, and pass protection wasn't much better. Opposing fronts are only going to get better, so it's going to be a looooong year.
October 24th, 2020 at 4:28 PM ^
I'd go Andrew Maxwell, even though that was more recent.
All of his flaws included, I think I'd take Jeff Smoker before Maxwell or Lombardi from what I remember of them all. Lombardi really has nothing to offer, and Tucker did nothing to help him out at all. Keep calling those option routes Mel, your guys really have that concept nailed down.
October 24th, 2020 at 5:12 PM ^
Smoker was very talented; if he had just stuck with smoking and foregone the snorting!
October 24th, 2020 at 9:31 PM ^
Yeah, I didn't follow every game or anything but I figure Smoker was NFL talent if it he could have kept himself straight.
October 24th, 2020 at 3:39 PM ^
Dantonio was everything MSU fans complain Harbaugh is.
Smug, condescending, holier than thou, curmudgeon who doesn't feel as though he needs to answer to anyone. Put Dantonio in a Michigan shirt and every MSU fan calls him the ultimate Michigan stereotype. He was their ass hole and they're ok with that because they don't want a good guy who coaches football well. They want someone to take on Michigan no matter his personality. Being an ass hole is a bonus.
In other news, FSU just go their doors blown off by Louisville. Come on Cooper!
October 24th, 2020 at 5:46 PM ^
Afar... perfect response to the OP. You win the day. Well, Rutgers does, but you’re a close second.

7 turnovers is a legitimate accomplishment. Have to give props where props are due.

What’s the mich state coach making a year? Somewhere around 6 million. Crazy... he doesn’t create any jobs. He just fills a position.
October 24th, 2020 at 4:35 PM ^
It was such a dumb hire. Because the timing was bad they threw crazy money after their 3rd/4th choice after he turned them down.
October 24th, 2020 at 5:40 PM ^
It sucks that multiple MSU sports teams were just sacrificed so that they could overpay a coach with a 5-7 career record.
October 24th, 2020 at 3:53 PM ^
It’s fun to listen to Blaha spin why it wasn’t such a bad loss. 7 more 1st downs and 100+ yds better total offense. “They shot themselves in the foot”.
It was Rutgers and a double digit loss. Nothing positive about it.

Did I do that right?
October 24th, 2020 at 4:20 PM ^
He did, though. Isn’t that a shame?
October 24th, 2020 at 3:53 PM ^
They sold their soul to the devil while Dick-tonio was there, they played dirty and were generally assholes the whole time.
They deserve pain for many years to come!
