Sparty's nightmare February
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.]

How the hell do you vote someone off the team. It's not a fuckin demcracy. Everyone is their on a free ride sports scholarship and to listen to the coach, follow rules and maybe mature. Oh ya and get a free education if you so choose to go to class after all your mini protests about this or that. Where is my trophy. I yelled at the television louder than anyone this year. LOL. Sorry about the rant, but we as a society have gone to far. Maybe I am to old school, but I just can't see myself telling my wrestling coach or drill instructor that someone wrote a mean text and it hurt my feelings. Also word of advise if someone is cheating on you........BYE.

Playing tough guy doesn't work in this situation no matter how "old school" you are. If there is a guy on the team who said what Reschke did, then there's good reason for other players to speak up and have input and if a coach (who is a state employee, not a dictator) doesn't addtess the problem as an employee of the university he not only could end up with a mutiny on his hands, but could find himself in quite a bad position if later found to have suppressed that type of thing.
So play tough guy, back in my day we didn't question authority guy, or whatever. But that isn't the world you're living in now.

MSU lacks depth damn near every position besides RB. They can't afford too many suspensions.
February 9th, 2017 at 11:20 PM ^
They could be a lot worse if they lose Corley, Vance, and King if those are the three players plus Reschke. I'd assume Cooper is back with a suspension. I don't know who is left that is actually good. Lewerke possibly?
February 9th, 2017 at 11:22 PM ^
Losing Corley would be the nail in the coffin for that offense.
February 9th, 2017 at 11:24 PM ^
Vance is also supposedly pretty good and they have no one in the secondary besides him. Copeland is iffy and he's the best one.

I know Justin Layne got converted from WR to CB last season. He did a decent job. But if Corley is one of the 3 they have very little experience at WR. Wonder if they would move him back to WR.

If I was a mother of a 2018 recruit and just had Dantonio in my living room, I'd be thinking W.T.F. !

It turns out the BigTen schedulers have actually given us a break by having us play MSU away on years where we have to play Ohio State away.
We don't have to play two tough teams on the road in the same year.

I hadn't read about that Nassar guy. I didn't even know he worked at my old highschool starting a few years after I graduated. I might know some of the Jane Doe's and not even know it.

Yes, February has been a rough month for MSU. However, in just a few days the month known as "Izzo" will be here. The icing on the cake is that Middle Tennessee State looks like they will make the tournament and MSU might avoid any chance for an embarassing rematch when they make the NIT.

How fitting would it be if the accused/charges come to light on March 9th

"Starting OL quits team because it's not fun."
I mean, 30 seconds of exposure to Dantonio would alert anyone just how mirthless and unfun this dude and his program is. He's the last coach in sports I'd sit down to have a beer with.

but isn't 4 MSU posts on the front page a little much?
