"Capitol"-- when in caps refers to our National Capitol in Washington DC--as I quickly move towards the wall to stand corrected...
October 19th, 2016 at 2:07 PM ^
Thought it refered to Jupiters private parts...

Close. "Capitol" refers to the actual building where representatives meet and perform government business. The capitol (building) resides in the location that is the capital (state or nation). So whether you are referring to the Capitol in Lansing or in D.C., it is spelled the same.

Hasn't been much to cheer about for them this year. Pride something something something fall.
October 18th, 2016 at 4:41 PM ^
Calling it a "curse" implies that things are currently out of the ordinary. I'd say MSU has returned to normal.
OTOH, our own curse began with Bo's death in November 2006 and appears to have finally been lifted.

The Sparty Fluke.
And when they are down 48-17 with 10 seconds left this time around, their Sparty Fluke won't be able to save them.
October 18th, 2016 at 5:44 PM ^
LOL that you think MSU will score 17 points
October 18th, 2016 at 7:26 PM ^
three quarters.
Beat Sparty - Beat Northwesterns Record. (TM)

I think, when it's 99 to nothing with time running out and we have a first down at their 15, we should line up for a punt, snap the ball and nobody move, just stand there and invite them to grab the ball and have this years gift, happily given this time.
October 18th, 2016 at 6:20 PM ^
This is true. I think the Sparty Fluke was more of a last gasp of otherworldy luck before they inevitably started their regression to the mean.

May blue skies, B1G Championships, College football playoff spots, and National Championships return to the Big House forever!

In either case it is great to see MSU go back to the shallow end of the pool, where little brother belongs.

Dantonio sold his soul to the devil years ago and has been the benefactor of the luckiest games I've ever seen (except for maybe Auburn).
The devil had to renege on the deal when the Spartans played Satan himself in the playoff.

I think they paid for their luck against Bama last week. Similar to our Jerryworld game washing us clean of a lucky 2011 - sometimes it functions as justice.
October 18th, 2016 at 4:44 PM ^
The gods told Dantonio not to use his ill-gotten powers to win that game. He couldn't help himself, though. At the last minute, Dantonio put a curse upon Blake's hands, forcing him to bobble the ball. Now, the gods will punish him for 10 years - the number of seconds left on the clock.

And ten (10) of his assistant coaches shall also attempted to reap the burned and salted earth. Nardoozi, for example. And ten (10) of his assistant's assistant's shall also suck the biggest suck that ever sucked...

Or maybe....just maybe it might be the loss of 10 starters including their All B1G 10 QB from last year's team.
Take your pick.

It is clearly Voldemort.

I believe science sez it's the curse of the fluke + 3 uncalled glaring penalties on that play alone, after a whole game of bad calls and non calls keeping the game close. Just ask Dr. Science.

No soul-eating; the magic just ran out for them. That was the first time in a LONG time they actually got the result they deserved for where they were at. Everyone who was paying attention saw it coming a mile away. Actually more like we saw it coming for miles and miles and miles and it just wouldn't happen between the refs handing them the Michigan game, Ohio State going all SLUDGEFART because weird wet stuff falling from the sky, Iowa going through their own Cinderella season (finally exposed by Stanford) to play in the B1G championship. . . just a whole mess of lucky breaks.
It was EXTREMELY annoying that it took so long. They were legit before, which was annoying in its own way but when they obliterated Borges I couldn't argue with the result. But to see them coast for well over half of last season on reputation and extraordinary luck all while sauntering around like they earned it all, eeugh. The Play That Shall Not Be Named was by far the worst part of it.
They've been a hollow shell for pretty much all last season. Probably by far the worst team that will ever qualify for the CFP.

I don't think you understand what "gate" means when used as a suffix.
