Little Man Mel takes a job at Harbaugh “Complaining about bad call makes your program soft”

He’s just mad the Little Sisters got destroyed by Purdue.

I like that Mel Tucker makes those sort of needled jabs.  Harbaugh does and has done it to various degrees so having a rival coach doing it too will only add fire to the rivalry.  Tucker and Harbaugh could be a pretty fun back and forth going forward.  I don't like MSU, but even still, I'm not sure how someone could come away from what Mel Tucker has done and not be somewhat impressed.

While I don't agree with Mel, the only way to shut them up is to beat them more consistently, but JH's been unable to do that so he can't really say anything, nor should he.

Yeah, but one directly caused the other.  In an evenly officiated game, we would have won with room to spare.  So Tucker's ability to chirp is directly tied to the favoritism that he received in that game.  That is, in fact, the point.  You can point to the scoreboard all you want, but just admit the zebra's gave them the very thing that they are hanging their hat on.

For all of the Tucker love, he is inches away from having 3 losses already, and soon to have another, since their pass defense is atrocious.  If he is smart, he will bail while his record is inflated and his stock is high.  If not, the regression to the mean will be lovely to watch.

We've had a whole year of very questionable targeting calls nationwide. Nothing you can do there. Complaining isn't going to change that.

I don't recall a single game-changing call that was missed or incorrectly overturned vs. Mel this year. Maybe if it happens later this year then we'll see if little man keeps his motto.

He and Dicktonio got lucky with the portal for Walker and earlier Reed. We could use both of them now.

It’s easy for this phony Mothertucker to take the high road on the M vs MSU game. He was awarded the biggest win of his career by horseshit officiating, while having his biggest rival screwed at the same time. Screw him. That is all.

A tangent regarding Harbaugh’s presser.  He seemed intense and focused.  Short answers so he could get out of there and do some more work for the game.  He’ll get his team to ball out the best they can on Saturday.
