The Michigan State Beavers
Yeah, they're screwed

The big shock here is that MSU had two 4-star quarterbacks in the first place.
November 27th, 2023 at 7:23 PM ^
Yeah, not a good start for a new coach even if he thinks he can do a bit better at the position. Yes he built Oregon St. into a solid Pac-12 team but I think it's telling that as the league improved this year Oregon St. lost some games. He'll raise th ceiling for MSU but he's going to need to recruit at a higher level to be able to compete in this league.

Houser saw how crazy the fans were. He was ready to bounce. Good luck kid.
November 27th, 2023 at 7:35 PM ^
Why would anyone with a bit of talent even consider staying at staee? The sparties are such a mess that it's going to take Smith at least 2 seasons, maybe more, to get them back to fleabag bowl-level via the portal.
Can't blame the 2 QBs for wanting out while still young enough to find an opportunity at a more stable program.
November 27th, 2023 at 7:55 PM ^
Neither of those guys have any talent. Lucky if get picked up by a MAC school
November 27th, 2023 at 7:48 PM ^
Didn't think it was possible for their program to take another step back.
November 27th, 2023 at 8:06 PM ^
It's hilarious to me that 3 message board links down we all praise Harbaugh for his level headed thought about how competition turning to hatred is unhealthy and not good for the soul, and then I come here and it's pure joy at the misery of a school and team that is struggling immensely.
That said, msu can go f itself.
November 27th, 2023 at 8:14 PM ^
Harbaugh was talking about the Ohio State-Michigan rivalry and how it's not really hateful
Sparty, on the other hand, can get fucked
November 27th, 2023 at 8:23 PM ^
I would say that difference is significant. Media hype has largely contrived any actual Michigan OSU "hatred," while sparties is organic, and largely comes from their coach, within their program, and the fans themselves.
November 27th, 2023 at 8:46 PM ^
In other words, they deserve it because they are horrible people! Sold!
November 27th, 2023 at 8:29 PM ^
Leavitt is from Oregon, but according to 247 he was not offered by Oregon State. Hope Oregon State's current quarterback doesn't follow Smith to MSU, but even if he does he will play U-M one year and that's in The Big House.
November 27th, 2023 at 8:38 PM ^
How the hell did they get 4 star QBs in the first place.
November 27th, 2023 at 9:28 PM ^
They were all calling Sam the next sure thing
November 27th, 2023 at 9:42 PM ^
DJU's dad criticized John Smith's departure from OSU (although he was polite about it), so I'm not so sure he will follow Smith to MSU.
November 27th, 2023 at 10:07 PM ^
Tuck and run?
November 27th, 2023 at 10:22 PM ^
I'm glad Sam isn't our QB. Anyone who puts himself (4 games but no thanks, I'm redshirting from now on) above THE TEAM, THE TEAM, THE TEAM doesn't deserve to play for a real school. Even if he had lost his RS, if he's even a decent QB, he'd have three more years to play. I fully understand a coach talking with a player about trying to save his RS for the next year, but this guy went public about wanting to save "HIS" RS.
Houser had one good game vs. Rutgers and was good against a very bad IU D. Not saying they sucked because of him, but PSU game was a disaster for his confidence.
November 28th, 2023 at 12:24 AM ^
Wow. They spent a lot of time fretting over their development this year, too.
November 28th, 2023 at 10:24 AM ^
I heard Sparty fans are blaming the tunnel
