I don't care if it was a Lucas Oil Stadium janitor handing him the award....that's messed up.
Not to mention who the hell wins a game MVP award with this statline?
16/32; 191 yds, 0 TD, 1 INT; 33.3 QBR

+1 this.
And why in the hell is Cook a lock for the first round of the NFL draft? 57% completion rating, and decent-not-great passing yards despite being surrounded by excellent coaching and teammates (not talking character here) - how is this special?

and Archie Griffin's name is on that trophy for a reason and that is disrespectful...and that's coming from a UM board.

proves that God doesn't exist and that those who told you when you were growing up that class and dignity and all that matter most were full of crap.
I'm not saying that douchebags always win, because MSU were douchebags when they were losers, too, but that it's irrelevant. MSU didn't have to discover class or sophistication to become winners, they could continue in their troglodyte Sparty ways. In order to find success all they had to do was hire a competent coach and then wait for Michigan to go on a decade-long nosedive.

Well if you're more than 8 years old, it's about time.

The media in Michigan has furthered the narrative.
Instead of pushing a shut the fuck up douche, your team has won a bunch of games, act like it narrative, they further the little engine that could bullshit.
Hell even the national media (Herbstreit and them) were saying, they feel disrespected etc. Meanwhile their coach runs his mouth at every chance possible.

Funny… I seem to remember a while ago, some whining blowhard misquoting Bible verses (shockingly, considering the multitude of scholars he’s surrounded by in EL) to the tune of, “Pride comes before the fall.”

Completely understand why as a fifth year senior and starting qb on your way to the league, he's not a captain.

Plus his hand offs late in the game were the key to victory.

That both he and Sparty are absolutely humiliated by whomever they play. I cannot stand them so much that I find myself cheering for Ohio State over them, which is pathetic enough.
They have replaced Notre Dame as my most hated team.
December 6th, 2015 at 2:10 AM ^
I give Sparty all the credit in the world for playin a great game. However, no matter the issues you have with other teams, you treat cfb royalty as such. I think this filters down from the head man and his seeming hatred for everything not MSU. I believe the players pick up on the bad habits of their leader as well as the good he instills in them. The good is all fb related though, and this, to me, is rather disturbing. I realize as a boomer I'm older than most here. I got over the fact that he won his second Heisman although finishng second in rushing to Gordie Bell. Treat whoever is handing you that hardware with a modicum of respect. The man would not be in a position to hand it to Cook if he had not earned his status.

Might want to look into that a bit more. Cousins was anything but class.
After he lost, he was whining about Michigan. Both he and his coach. After their own game, the first thing on his mind is a team that he doesn't even play for and had nothing to do with their game.

Just saw Cook on BTN apolgizing for that, said he had no idea it came off like that and he was caught up in the moment.
December 6th, 2015 at 2:41 AM ^
Given the media in this state, I am sure they won't even report on it. Sunshine and rainbows....
December 6th, 2015 at 2:42 AM ^
I've never understood that excuse. What does it mean to be "caught up in the moment"? Does achieving a goal automatically turn you into an asshole?
December 6th, 2015 at 2:57 AM ^
Do you actually expect the media in Michigan to even mention it.
Yeah the whole thing is stupid, but probably should be pointed out.
I mean Jon Jansen for AD was worthy of a paper article....

Part of the moment is being handed a trophy by someone who's a legend in your field.
The Oscars. [Okay, they're actors. So maybe they've studied human nature enough to know how they should be reacting in the role of young and up-and-coming honoree.] But if you are a young actor who only dreams of this moment, and as a kid have watched that legend earn his/her status, and is now honoring you... That's a big moment.
And you hope your family is in their seats sneaking out the cellphone to capture your blushing acceptance.

I don't care if Cook knew who Archie is not. That was a real dick move. Brushing off a man wearing a sport coat on national tv. Dick move. No two ways about it. Cook is a Dbag. Plaxico is at least genuine. Cook isn't. Not welcome at my party.
December 6th, 2015 at 6:35 AM ^
Heat of the moment and he apologized. We've all heard enough about the kind of guy he is. He'll grow out of it or he won't. What would have been really interesting is if ND had held on last week at Stanford. I am not sold after this type of low scoring brawl type game, that MSU would have went over a one loss ND.
