Best play? Oh my...perhaps it was the 37 yard completion by Illinois on 4th and 17...Sparty PI on 4th and goal in the last minute...the final touchdown with 5 seconds left...Sparty tosses pick six to get Illinois within 1...man, it was a cornucopia of schadenfreude.

Have you tried Express VPN? Usually helps me to get to any site I want in China. Even sites showing sparty tears.

The best part is that Sparty was winning 28-3 at one point.
November 9th, 2019 at 7:31 PM ^
They blew a 25 point lead!!!
November 9th, 2019 at 7:31 PM ^
Biggest comeback in Illinois history... down 28-3 to conquer mork dantonio and the puke green uniforms... have to think this breaks any chance of hope for next weeks game. SHARTY NOOOOOO
November 9th, 2019 at 7:34 PM ^
Yeah a win could have them galvanized because they curb stomped a decent Illinois team and put up some good offensive numbers. But this should sink their battleship. Punch them in the mouth quick next week and put them out of their misery
November 9th, 2019 at 7:31 PM ^
Im glad that they have said they wont be firing Mork. This off season he can just swap the d coordinators to offense and vice versa . Because moving them within didnt work .
November 9th, 2019 at 7:33 PM ^
My goodness that was glorious!
November 9th, 2019 at 7:33 PM ^
Nice. Dantonio inherited a SPARTY NOOO program, and he's leaving a SPARTY NOOO program.
November 9th, 2019 at 7:35 PM ^
I didn't see the end, was it an actual correct defensive PI call at the end?
November 9th, 2019 at 7:39 PM ^
Yes. The defender yanked his shoulder pad and then hit him in the face.
I’m not sure it was entirely necessary, but dude’s gotta play how’s he’s coached....

I remember seeing a few MSU fans on /r/cfb bemoaning that Michigan CBs were all over the Iowa WRs and the DPI wasn't getting called. The irony was palpable
November 9th, 2019 at 9:33 PM ^
Was face guarding too, smacked wr across the face mask before ball even arrived and wasn’t looking back for ball. Not sure why state fans r complaining about it. Was totally obvious pi on defense
November 9th, 2019 at 10:25 PM ^
100%.
Contested fade, DB prevented the WR from even being able to jump for it.
November 9th, 2019 at 7:35 PM ^
How do you like beards now, Mork??!
November 9th, 2019 at 7:36 PM ^
Fuck them. Kill them by 50 next week
November 9th, 2019 at 7:37 PM ^
Sparty just sparted the spartiest spart ever sparted. That was fun.
November 9th, 2019 at 9:15 PM ^
Spart rhymes with shart. How apropos!
November 9th, 2019 at 7:38 PM ^
I was going to post this thread first but I was laughing so hard I couldn’t find words.

Go Blue.
November 9th, 2019 at 7:39 PM ^
The Mork post game interview is going to be must watch TV. Who’s he gonna blame this one on?
November 9th, 2019 at 7:41 PM ^
That's BS!
November 9th, 2019 at 7:53 PM ^
Harbaugh, everything is his fault.
November 9th, 2019 at 9:12 PM ^
"Next question."
-Mork
November 9th, 2019 at 11:05 PM ^
Even rcmb is calling him out for being a scummy asshole - it just took them 10 to figure it out.
November 9th, 2019 at 7:41 PM ^
Lovie - you freaking did it. Awesome!
November 9th, 2019 at 7:43 PM ^
November 16.
Finish them.
November 9th, 2019 at 8:13 PM ^
Sweep the leg?
November 9th, 2019 at 8:19 PM ^
It's over......Get them a Body Bag!!
November 9th, 2019 at 8:36 PM ^
No mercy.
November 9th, 2019 at 9:13 PM ^
I can't upvote this enough. I just want to avenge the 2015 game. I know we've beaten them since then but I won't feel good until we humiliate Mike Dantoni into retirement.
November 9th, 2019 at 11:43 PM ^
The Digiornio family has a long history of fighting dirty. We need to be ready next week.
November 10th, 2019 at 5:09 PM ^
You got a problem with that??
November 9th, 2019 at 7:44 PM ^
Please let them lose to Maryland or Rutgers and miss a bowl, then retain Mork
November 9th, 2019 at 8:04 PM ^
i would wager he will have a negotiated retirement before any possible bowl game. the bowl game, if it happens, will be his swan song.
November 9th, 2019 at 7:45 PM ^
Totally looking forward to the replay of this on YouTube
November 9th, 2019 at 7:45 PM ^
goes to show ya, in today's game just throw the damn ball up for grabs!! two key 4th down plays by illini in the final minute or so by doing that. one 40 yd gain; one PI.
November 9th, 2019 at 7:56 PM ^
4-5 Sparty. Deflated. Playing for a coach who is on his way to “retirement”. Get up early and score often on Saturday!!
November 9th, 2019 at 8:01 PM ^
Don't even let their bus cool off next Saturday.
November 9th, 2019 at 8:20 PM ^
Mork haveth pride, and Mork loseth pride. UM needs to pound Sparty.
Hope they keep Mork for 5 more years.
November 9th, 2019 at 8:35 PM ^
Was (and still am) running through the night routine with the boy and feeding him his bottle and missed the entire 4th quarter
What the hell happened?!
November 9th, 2019 at 9:23 PM ^
Let's see.
- 31-10 Sparty, they look pretty good, thinking maybe they give us a game next week
- 83 yard TD Illinois 31-17
- Another TD by Illinois 31-24
- MSU fumbles on their 8 yard line
- Brandon Peters awful throw, interception in the end zone
- Sparty nice drive for about 50 yards until...
- Lewerke throws hideous pick 6. 31-30
- "You meant 31-31, right? Typo." No, Illinois missed the extra point
- Sparty drives for about 50 yards, FG. 34-10
- Illinois hits some plays, but gets into 4th and 17 at about midfield
- Peters pass complete for 37 yards
- Couple of nice plays gets 1st and goal at the Sparty 2 yard line
- Fumble, awful play calls, 4th and goal from MSU 4
- Incomplete pass. ... until PI called on Sparty
- 1st and goal. They lose 3 yards on first down, clock is running and they take forever
- Peters calmly rolls out, looks like the play is dead, hits a guy in the back of the end zone with 5 seconds left
- 37-34 Illinois, beard gets a shoulder ride
This was fun to type. I am available for more questions.
November 9th, 2019 at 10:19 PM ^
unzips
November 9th, 2019 at 8:45 PM ^
I’m worried Dantonio tells his team he’s done this week to fire them up for the UM game as a last hurrah. And the graciously steps aside and one of several good candidates steps in after the season. I want him to hang on for a bit longer to really erode the base.
November 9th, 2019 at 9:08 PM ^
If the Spartans were a good team, they would've shown it by now.
November 9th, 2019 at 10:37 PM ^
Yep. Can't coach up ineptness. If you can't beat Illinois at home, you're not beating a superior team away.
November 9th, 2019 at 9:05 PM ^
Lovie Smith's beard is going to a bowl game and this might be the most important thing that people should take away from today's games.
