Sparty's nightmare February

Submitted by Real and Spectacular on

I'm not one usually to pile on, but holy crap, if I were an MSU fan I would bury my gear in the back yard in shame. Quick recap.

1. Awful finish to recruiting class, with a bunch of embarrassing misses.

 

2. Defense best player Reschke rumored to be voted off team after racist texts revealed following teammate boinking his girlfriend.

 

3. Get pounded in bball by UM. Izzo cries about it.

 

4. Starting DL spits in officers face, story breaks.

 

5. Ongoing investigation about team doctor and sexual abuse.

 

6. 3 players and a staff member suspended for sexual assault.

 

7. Starting OL quits team because it's not fun.

 

8. Band director accused of sexual harassment.

 

9. Massive on campus fight with a beating and robbery that may have involved football players.

 

Wow! On second thought, they shouldn't bury the gear, they should burn it. And it's only February 9! I've never seen anything like this. Mark Hollis can't be sleeping much at night.

[Ed-Ace: Locked the thread. The OP is fine. The sexual assault allegations are not a joking matter, however, and much of what was in the comments crossed that line. That is not rivalry trolling material. The basketball team gave you all more than enough of that on Tuesday.]

not that she necessarily saw or in anyway predicted all of this but I think she sensed the athletic culture at MSU and her warning flashers triggered.

They're Bayloring. MSU and Ole Miss would still be in headlines if Baylor wasn't in the midst of chasing Sandusky for the worst scandal in NCAA history. Anyway...we have FAR too much MSU crap on this board. Look at the front page. But this recap is much appreciated. Wish we had more of this and less of the stupid point and laugh threads every time some negative thing which affects all college campuses happens in EL. RCMB and MLive should be your sources for that crap. This here is good stuff though. Thanks for putting it together, OP. +1 Informative.

I'm not sure I'd lump in things like losing to Michigan in hoops and having a bad recruiting class with the sexual abuse scandal involving the doctor or the recent allegations against the players. I'm happy to revel in some of these, but others--not so much.
