*crickets*






MSU is up 10-3, so I suppose this is okay to discuss now.

MSU has showed up today.

this would be a really nice win for sparty. we'll see if they hold on or if its more of the same.

this is sparty's last best chance at a bowl game, so they better win.

This is the biggest possession of the game so far. Iowa scores, lil bro needs to come back here.

uh oh, look who just made an appearance in the game...

L-k-2I0Wczw

just when you thought sparty might actually show up on the message board this week.

MSU's corners are fast, or maybe I'm seeing the same corner over and over but one of those guys is quick and has top end speed.

Ouch. Iowa ties it up.

It looks like Caulcrick has vultured a couple of Ringer's TDs today.

Not to worry, though, the Ringer Heisman candidacy is still strong.

horrible drive by iowa, leaving the door open. of course sparty thinks its a good idea to field a ball on the ten. hmm... special olympics themed 4 minute drill? how captivating.

btw, just another huge game by the big ten's best running back. 4 yrds a carry is definitly the bounce back game after complete no show vs the buckeyes.

the refs just bailed out sparty big time.

Okay, you are Dantonio and you are down 3 with the game on the line, less than 5 minutes to go, but still plenty of time. You have the best RB in the Big Ten, and you do this?


1st-10, MISt18 J. Ringer rushed to the right for 1 yard gain
2nd-9, MISt19 B. Hoyer incomplete pass to the right
3rd-9, MISt19 B. Hoyer passed to K. Davis down the middle for 17 yard gain
1st-10, MISt36 B. Hoyer passed to K. Davis down the middle for 21 yard gain
1st-10, Iowa43 B. Hoyer incomplete pass to the left
2nd-10, Iowa43 B. Hoyer incomplete pass to the left
3rd-10, Iowa43 B. Hoyer incomplete pass to the right
4th-10, Iowa43 A. Bates punt, touchback

Where is the criticism for Dantonio?

unbeleivable.

OT
Michigan St.
1st-10, Iowa25 J. Caulcrick rushed up the middle for 4 yard gain
2nd-6, Iowa21 J. Ringer rushed up the middle for 18 yard gain
1st-3, Iowa3 J. Caulcrick rushed up the middle for no gain
2nd-3, Iowa3 J. Caulcrick rushed to the left for 3 yard touchdown

Looks like somebody got in his ear.

backbreaker. this one pretty much ends sparty's season. michigan runs wild on this team next week, id think. and my prediction way back when of a 17 point spread ("your talking shit? unbelievable!") looks spot on.

LOL 4th and 13 and you throw a 5 yard in route...your a genius Dantonio...


Michigan will open a can of whoop ass on the shitty Spartans next week

Cogent Glenn.

Good B10 football game, though. Fall, Saturdays and the B10.

Nov 3, East Lansing, MI

Michigan 38
Michigan State 14

Can't recall seeing a 2OT game where one team only had 53 yards passing, and won.

I'd be surprised if next week's game isn't close.

Usually when you think they won't be, they are and vice versa.

Next weeks game is NO gimmie.

i disagree. its curtains for sparty's season. they are going to be ultra psyched for this game, but as is the way of the sparty, when things go wrong itll get ugly quickly.

4th and 15 and he throws a 5 yard pass? Looks like Mike DeBord snuck in there and called a play for Sparty.

Ringer and Caulcrick will run for 150+ combined next week vs UM, but Hoyer will turn the ball over 2+ times and one of the RB will drop one. Of the 150 yards 60+ will come on one play.

UM knocks out Hoyer. UMs front 4 is just that damn good that doesnt include Crable in it.

If Mallett starts, I will need a Xanax before the game.

You want mine?

I'd feel confident with Mallett. He is improving, and if they KNOW he's going to start, they'll be able to work with him like the great coaches they are. CouGh..HaCk...

I don't understand this team at all. No matter who the coach is, it's the same result. It's like this team has it in their mind that they're losers.

Bobby Williams: Start off the season well, die in the end.
JLS: Start of the season well, get ranked, tailspin to miss a bowl.
Dantonio: Start of the season well, get ranked, tailspin and in danger of missing a bowl.

Wow, how far Iowa's football program has fallen when the Iowa fans storm the field for beating MSU.
I stole this from another board, cuz its funny

I hate how ppl like Valenti go on the air and preach how good the Spartans "front four" are...

Note to Valenti: the Pitt. game was 6 weeks ago, Jonal Saint-Dic's inflated numbers to start the season have balanced out now...and he will not be an All-American...

Only Mikey V can make Ogemdi Nwagbuo and Oren Wilson Jr. sound like Pat Williams and Kevin Williams...

your not fooling anybody...

I am scared with Mallett running the team because he will be starting a road game against a rival. I thought he played great in the 2nd half and throws a great long ball, but I am just not convinced he is ready yet.

3-0 as a starter though.

Where is the Sparty contingent?????????

They're over on the Detroit News Boards talking shit about UM losing to Apple St and having some players arrested.
There's one big difference between thse boards and the News Big Ten board: The guys here are quitters (jethro, Tre, etc). Over there they just continue on with their bullshit.
It's acttually a little bit more fun.

Budkow was arrested for assaulting Wal-Mart Wolverines through the night.

He's not going to start the MSU game...Henne will

Where is the Sparty contingent?????????

buckdow and tre decided to exlore other interests... since they gave up on sparty football. but dont worry, they havent forgotten you all. in fact, they just asked me to say hello to you all from them

http://www.deviantimages.com/gallery/folsom2001/the_couples/IMG_1696.jpg

...but I'll show up to get poked with the stick. I was in a fucking hideous, disgusting 20x20 booth at a trade show Thursday thru Sunday. Four days of my fucking life I'll never get back. I was able to get to see the 2nd Spartan drive where they drove down the field with a nice mix of run and pass for a 7-0 lead. Off I go feeling almost smug that when I reviewed the tape when I got home this would be an easy win (note I didn't bid a nickel on it). SURPRISE!!!! A 17-3 halftime lead turns into another loss. It's become nearly laughable. As I said after the NW game I'm near certain its' in the water. This is like being handcuffed to a theater seat and made to watch "Saw 5." Different writer, different director, different actors, and different sets combining for the same bad movie.

All of a sudden Zip G. is rising from the dead in the C. Hitchens book sweepstakes. I still like my chances but its' gotta' be Purdon't & Penn State. Another week of MSU flailing at ballcarriers has convinced me U of Mum could make Mallett a RB and he'd get 150 yards if he can keep one size 19 off the other. So now I'm all set to go up to the game in East Lansing and my beloved Sun Devils are playing Oregon at the same time. I'm bummed but more bummed at the probability of taking the "donut" for both games. I don't see the Devils beating Quack-Quack in Eugene but beware disparagers Erickson is doing this with Koetters guys. The fucking guy can coach and the WOTS from my Tempe boys is that he can consume some Grey Goose too.

U-M 35 MSU 20

OK that said assume the position. It's almost hoop season.

I was just thinking about which book I'd like to add to my collection. I am almost out of coloring books that have pages left, and my "Pop Up GI Joe Action War Book" is getting kind of tattered.

Nice to see a Sparty standing up, but you have always been that kind of poster. It's certainly not out of character.

I thought that the last four games were going to be tough for Dantonio to grind out that 6th (or 7th) bowl win. They needed (duh!) to get that win at Iowa not just for bowling purposes, but to build on their solid showing against Tressel. I still think that Sparty can feel pretty good, because now it's down to that old bugaboo: Talent and depth.

One thing I really don't understand is the lack of use for Ringer. Is there a secret health issue? He's got to be as good as Young, who tore you guys up real bad. I can't figure not getting the ball to Ringer (running plays) 30 times or more.

I am not dodging at all. Believe it or not, but people that actually have lives are sometimes to busy to monitor a message board 24/7.

Yep, the loss to Iowa was pretty bad. MSU had it rolling in the first half, but then just got out-willed by Iowa.

Some may ask, "Where is the progress?". Well, I`ll say this, MSU hasn`t been blown out of a single game this season. I know that sounds a little Pollyannish, but its a sign that the team isn`t quitting.

I think this teams sees a big bandage in the form of a victory over UM. Obviously, MSU is going to have to stop Hart and get pressure on Henne. I think MSU is going to be very motivated for the game. Therefore, I stick by my original prediction of an MSU victory. MSU 31 UM 28.

You can keep hoping, Joel, but it isn't going to happen.

You can keep hoping, Joel, but it isn't going to happen.
well, we will have to wait and see. If MSU does win, I can`t wait to see how you overly-attached losers react.

It would definately suck to lose to an inferior team, but we've already done that once this year.

I'd rather be more talented and take my chances with an upset here and there, than have a shitty program, go 1-4 in the Big10 and my only real hope for making an impact on anything is by upsetting someone.

You are a gravy training bootlick.

MSU 28-24 if their defense shows up.

Fuck a bunch of morale boosts. When does that shit wear off? Northwestern, Cheezitz and Iowa were very winnable games. Very winnable. OSU? Get a crash course in reality. They kicked MSU's ass up and down the field. A couple of gifts made it look respectable when it was anything but. These guys have now lost 4 games by 24 points. There is something to "learning to win is a process." You will NEVER convince me that Iowa or Northwestern has better personnel than MSU yet they gas. Cheezitz maybe has a teensy bit better and more of the same. When do these guys surprise everyone and mostly themselves by winning a game that no one gives them a shot of doing? It's been a long time coming. Losing to Iowa was atrocious. Just because the margins are closer doesn't mean these guys have shed the vision of the "L" in their thought bubble 3 hours from kickoff. That's a tough thing. I was a sophmore starter on a hoops team that went 1-16. Man you talk about "stinkin' thinkin'." After about 1-6 I WAS GOING TO GET MINE and I didn't give two shits about anything or anybody else. Our new coach who just happened to be "The Big Buck" himself cured me of that my junior year. It's ugly and these guys need to kill it dead. Easier said than done.

well, we will have to wait and see. If MSU does win, I can`t wait to see how you overly-attached losers react.

Dude, we're Michigan fans. Losing these kinds of games is a trademark of UM football. I don't think there is a Michigan fan in the world who would be shocked to see MSU win this game.

And it would bring Tre out of the foxhole he and Jethro are hiding in.

If Henne and Hart are both not at least 90%, I give MSU a better than 1:1 to win the game.

If MSU cannot get up and put in a full game against UM than they never will and might as well forget about it for another year of not making a bowl.

I can see Purdue and PSU both beating MSU.

Oh God, not only can I "see it", those are pretty much locks...

I never realized how BAD Brian Hoyer really was until Saturday...he's the 2nd worst QB in the Big Ten (Eddie McGee and Adam Weber tie for 1st worst)

Is he garbage?

I know why Tre has been a no-show, but why has Jethro been laying low?

For the same exact reason that Tre has, just switch the posters' allegiances.

Tre thinks the Michigan fans are too obnoxious to deal with, Jethro thinks the State fans are too obnoxious to deal with.

Well, its very difficult to discuss MSU/UM, regardless of your alliegiance. MSU is a decent, upstanding university that is exceptional while being inclusive. Whereas UM is an elitest institution that fancies itself located about 150 miles east of Boston and has a bunch of troglodyte bandwagon fans that are losers in real-life.

I can't be the only one laughing right now.

I really think bukdow is a Michigan fan, it's evident he's not accustomed to losing like MSU has been doing as of late.

...at least they didn't lose to Appy State though.

Is he garbage?


pretty much...he was on the mini-list i posted yesterday...

Brian Hoyer is indeed, GARBAGE

I really think bukdow is a Michigan fan, it's evident he's not accustomed to losing like MSU has been doing as of late.

...at least they didn't lose to Appy State though.


I'm sure he'd rather have lost to Appy State and be #12 in the BCS, than not lose to them and be pretty much irrelavant...

I can't be alone on that one...could I?

I can't be the only one laughing right now.

Actually I was cracking up. That's one of the quotes of the year. I personally love Bucky's sense of humor. I hope I'm not the only one.

I assure you you're not the only one. I LOVE bukdow.

hold on...wait a minute...


bukdow...bucky...HOLY SHIT! MAYBE BUKDOW IS JIM TRESSEL.

p.s. New word for Michigan fans to work with: troglodyte.

He couldn't go with "primitive" or "cave-dwelling" or even "Neanderthal"... he had to go with "troglodyte." That, my friends, is rhetorical genious.

Dude, I can't even pronounce that, let alone spell it consistently. That's what TWO degrees from THE MSU gets you: uncanning intellect.


...Ok, maybe I can pronounce it, but that's not the point.

I am glad I am able to educate you ninnyhammers. It is oh so typical, "I am a UM fan that goes to WCCC and am transferring to UM-Dearborn. I is eeleet." Yeah, real elite. As I have said a thousand times before, if MSU was the dominant footbal team for the last 30 years, you schlameels would be Spartan fans.

BINGO!
He's a UM grad, man, who has been pissed off for years at us troglodytes because we symbolize capitalism. We didn't go to UM, but gleen MILLIONSES of dollars of indirect ego boost from UM's perrennial winning ways!
Plus, we don;t like basketball.

As I have said a thousand times before, if MSU was the dominant footbal team for the last 30 years, you schlameels would be Spartan fans.


That's not true, I don't like their uniforms/helmets.

If Henne and Hart are both not at least 90%, I give MSU a better than 1:1 to win the game.

If MSU cannot get up and put in a full game against UM than they never will and might as well forget about it for another year of not making a bowl.

Art, you are either retarded or a silent MSU bootlicking troglodyte. MSU can't be even money to beat their way out of a paper bag right now.

As I have said a thousand times before, if MSU was the dominant footbal team for the last 30 years, you schlameels would be Spartan fans. I mean, look at all of you who are bandwagon Michigan State basketball fans.

Since I don't follow college basketball and I am a Michigan football fan, things are looking bad for me in my attempt to make a case for me not being a bootlicking schlameel.

Shlameel? Did this fucktard write the lyrics for the theme song to Laverne and Shirley?

Zippy, I will agree with you, a bandwagon MSU basketball fan is as bad as a bandwagon UM football fan. Probably the worst person in the world would have "allegiances" to UM football, MSU basketball, the New York Yankees (wait, I mean the Boston Red Sox) and the New England Patriots.

Shlameel? Did this fucktard write the lyrics for the theme song to Laverne and Shirley?
Schlameel is a well known Yiddish word. Stupid goyim.

bukdow, who's Josef El?

bukdow, who's Josef El?
He is my basketball player.

We need an "ask bukdow for advice" thread.

bukdow, what should I do about this killer headache?

I think we need an "Ask bukdow to cimmitt suicide" thread.

Zip wins, thread over, see you next season.

I know why Tre has been a no-show,

me too

This is not only incredibly stupid, but mis-spelled to boot. If you think this tripe is funny, I don`t know what to tell ya except have fun buying the blue and yellow down at the Wal-Marts with the money you made working at Fords.

I just wanted to thank you, bukdow. We haven't had one of these back and forth threads in a couple of weeks. I was beginning to think you'd lost it.

Welcome back.

I am not dodging at all. Believe it or not, but people that actually have lives are sometimes to busy to monitor a message board 24/7.



its funny that these sudden emergences of social lives seem to coincide with the shit hitting the fan for sparty's season, i'll atleast give you a pass since i dont think you called anyone out for avoiding the board when UM was down...

and honestly, i guess we should be easier on tre, i hear he's going through a hard time right now:

http://crystaltips.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/gimp.jpg

Good point.

He didn't have any problem finding time to get here when we lost to Apple St and the week after or Oregon and the week after that. LOL

Don't knock it until you try it. (suicide that is)

Zip you do realize that every week since the spring MSU has targeted this game. They spend a little time every week game planning or talking about the UM game.

If you think UM can win this game without Hart and Henne, you are sadly mistaken. They have to be close to 100% to give UM a chance at MSU.

If Mallett has to play more than a quarter, we are in serious trouble.

How long have you been a UM fan. When was the last time UM blew anybody out other than ND in a rivalry game? If Carr lets Debord throw the ball on 1st down and we can get rolling it will be a good day for UM, but with Hart back, I can see a lot of runs to the left.

I expect MSU to be extremely focused in trying to win. :)

If Iowa can beat MSU with Christenson, UM should be just fine with Mallett. If Iowa's D can hold MSU to three points in the second half (prior to overtime), then UM's D should be able to do just fine.

I don't give a shit about MSU's extreme focus in trying to win this game. UM should be just as extremely focused in trying to win, and I think Mallett has gained some good game experience.
Right now, the UM staff knows who is going to play QB, and who is going to play RB. I think those players are being coached in how to be extremely focused in trying to win this game.

UM's receivers are also now displaying a great ability to stay extremely focused on the ball, and are capable of catching everything thrown their way. In other words, they can bail Mallett out if his throws are a little off.

I also think that MSU has lost a little bit of their extreme focus, and their ability to stay in this game.Their four losses show that it has always been tenuous, at best.

If this was 50 years ago we would all be State fans picking Sparty to win, I guarantee you.

You know, you are right. But I'd still be at WalMart looking for a Michigan shirt. Actually, I'd be at Woolworth's.

Yeah, looks like I'm going to be out looking for food before I rest up in my cozy little cave here for the game.

You know what? I'm tired of my old woman ruining everything for me so I may just watch the game with my boys

http://www.fiftiesweb.com/tv/flinstones-fb.gif

2 things....the energy level behind MSU at EL will be amazing.

If that Iowa game had been at EL, MSU wins by 30.

Please tell me the last time Michigan blew out MSU out in EL?

Somebody is just a little too scared of Sparty!

I have to go into the lab Saturday morning for a little while and then my wife is giving a talk to the local arty-farties about Dia de Los Muertos. So, my 9 month old son and I will be watching the entire stinking game, win or lose.

But you said Michigan State would win.

BTW bukdow, since your son never attended State, I take it he is not allowed to root for Sparty?

There is obviously a huge difference between a 9 month old baby and a bunch of grown men attempting to vicariously achieve success through a college football team. Therefore, there is no problem with my son rooting for MSU.

Also, yes, I do believe MSU will win, 31-28. However, if they don`t they are still my team because they represent my school. By the by, my wife is also an MSU graduate.

Is she hot?

I'll be here to cheer you up just in case your Wolverines lose. :)

Yes, I think so, she is Puerto Rican. If the Wolverines lose I think I will be able to go on. Thanks though.

Latinas strike your fancy? Same here. And anytime.

So, uhm...now that we've broken the ice here, I hope you don't mind me asking: what's a bukdow? I didn't go to MSU (WCCC, thinking about transferring to U of M Dearborn).

Zippy, you seem to really have a thing for men. No that there is anything wrong with that, I just hope you have embraced that part of yourself and are not trying to deny what seems to be a pretty obvious attraction to men and perceived "manly" things, like UM football.

Nevermind.

Actually, I kind of got the feeling you would agree. There is nothing wrong with being gay. I have gay friends. It just seems like Zippy has a lot of vitriol and maybe the Master lock he has on his closet might be contributing to it. The same goes for you, b-diddy.
