2010-2011 Michigan State Spartan Football Thread

I'm with you, Nemo!

It doesn't really concern me that the Spartans football team isn't filled with choir boys.

Nice move I think... not sold on them being a long term power but could be interesting. and better then yet another game against app state.... opps wrong mich school :P

Michigan State announces three-game series with Boise State, including 2012 season opener | MLive.com


edited to add... Was referring to Boise as not being the long term power

I was just going to post the news! I can't wait!!!!! I'm telling everyone at work.

Problem that I see is that the first game is 2012. The second game isn't until 2022.

wow nice...i think that's good for both schools. MSU gets additional exposure, BSU tries to prove it can play a tougher non-conference schedule. but wtf, the other 2 games 12 and 13 years from now? lol

Huge game at Iowa today. But to me, the biggest game has already been played.

We beat Michigan and that would have been my first choice (that's not a knock in the least on Michigan but the rivalry game IS a BIG deal).

Next, I'd like to see us win whatever bowl we play in after losing about 28 in a row.

Next, I'd like to see us just getin a top bowl.

Next I'd like to see us take at least 2 of the next 4 games (which I would certainly think we can do).

Next, I'd like to beat Iowa.

I realize that a couple of the higher ones happening are contingent upon the lower ones happening, but I'm just sayin'.

You're just ramblin...not yet babbling.

I usually don't post before games are over but...It's 17-0 Iowa...still in the 1st quarter. I posted earlier that if we fell behind early by two TDs, that our chances would end. I am now going to pursue other endeavours...:(

Well it's 17-0 Iowa.
If State loses, it's still a good story. And strong program.
And you whooped M so it all good.

17 on the board...the ghost of Cl Rucker...boooooooooooooo!!!

If Sparty wins this one, it will be the comeback of the decade.

I'm just hoping to hold them under 50!

How far do we drop? Lower than 18? 22? Out of the top 25?

Iowa bigger and faster. Just much much better. Poor calls too, I guess.

No excuses. Sparty looking like rag dolls/clowns.

Very disappointing but not that surprising. Turned it off at halftime.

:(:(:(

Spartans will finish 9-3....guaranteed!

I don't see them dropping that far. But the pollsters like the freshest win.
State 15
Iowa 10
[rating]

Sparty had a nice run, but they were seriously over-rated at #5. Let's hope they can bounce back after this beatdown.

Dropping 5 to 13 sounds about right....only one defeat

Sparty WAS overrated. I think they belong 13-20 but not in the class of the top 12.

Probably drop to about 18. That's where they belong. Should beat a couple of scrub teams.Then move up to 12 if we beat Penn. Hopefully don't get a bowl over our heads. I'm tired of losing bowl games to future pro quarterbacks.

Big ten is just a meat grinder. So many good teams without a clear standout.

As far as the Spartans go, I think Caputo sums it up pretty well.

No way am I blaming the 31 point loss on karma...but...karma is a b....

CAPUTO: It may have been a bad week, but the Spartans still have plenty to play for in 2010 - macombdaily.com

What was worse than the Karma thing for me is continuing to have to listen to Matt Millen do commentary. Having him talk about football Knowledge is like having the guy at Taco Bell explain a wine list.

The Spartans should bounce back. I'm still figuring on an 11-1 season. They should continue winning just to prove to Michigan fans that their team doesn't need to have mid season meltdowns anymore. By the way, UM lost to Penn State 41-31. Talk about meltdowns...that bunch in A2 is falling faster in the Polls than Darth's popularity at PF.

Teams lose...I just hope that the coach learned a lesson from this loss. I don't know what that lesson should be, but I think he does. A team is measured mostly on how they respond after a loss.
