Of Hoke, Dantonio, and Meyer, who wins a natty...

    Ok, gotcha. Misunderstanding then.

    BTW, the retort from Woodson was the first funny thing I've read from him. About the "look for a good clip" he said "No, that would be Narduzi"

    This is interesting: Two guys are on a golf course in the rain. One guy who has been hit by lightening, is walking in on one side of the fairway, while the other guy, who has never been hit by lightning, is walking in on the other side of the fair way.

    So, who is more likely to get struck by lightning? The guy who has been hit before, because he has, defying astronomical odds and getting hit twice in one lifetime. Or the guy who has never been hit before, because he hasn't.

    I say Hoke and Meyer would get hit by lightning, because it would not dare hit Dantonio. Dantonio would hit lightning first. Then, Hoke and Meyer would need a couple years to recooperate, and Dantonio would win two championships.

    That's my prediction.

    Gambler's fallacy there. The chances of getting struck by lightning are the same in those conditions; lightning doesn't think to itself, "Hey, you know, we got Jerry 3 years ago. Let's go zap the other guy". lol

    Michigan State does not and will not run the 3-4 defense.

    I think that he was just pointing out the logical inaccuracy of the other guys argument.

    Damn it!! Are you saying I shouldn't bet on red if black has come up the last 4 times? lol

    So true, you see so many guys do that because they figure what are the odds of 5 times in a row. Then, depending how drunk and desperate you are, it' usually comes up black again.

  • I see both teams undefeated coming into the game next year. Michigan's schedule is like the opposite of this year where it will be a lot lighter. I don't see either team getting past back to back games against each other. That was the stupidest idea to put them in different divisions.

    Stealing Sparty's recruits and owning them on the field since 1898

    um has always out recruited MSU, but it's been 4 years in a row

    Excuses

    RR only finished in the top 20, and Hoke is at 1 right now. Besides, Dantonio won 7 games in his first year where as Hoke won 11 games in his first year.

    Are you saying a pro SET and a zone READ are different? really? O.K., I'm good with that. However, that's like saying a DIVE play is different than an OPTION play. I'm going back where I said the two offenses are similar. I did say I believe you will see Urban Meyer taking his spread which uses an H back often, and adding the extra asset of the qb as a running back. That's your difference. I'm not sold on running the qb so often anyway. How many Tebows are there? Cam Newtons? I think Oregon gets away with it because they're in the pac ten. Drew Stanton sure got the crap beat out of him. I think Denard has been hurt in a couple of seasons. If you got the guy that can take that heat, god bless you, but if Denard has to come out of key games at key times just because he's shaken, you can take all of his stats and run with them, because if we're 3rd and three and he's on the bench it sucks. Lose a key game here or there due to three or four crucial plays he's out and your season sucks. That said, I'd run that sob till he dies if he was on my team. Weird thought process huh?

    A. I have no idea what Urbie's gonna run at OSU. My guess is it will be slightly different than what he did at Utah or Florida. He has probably learned and evolved over the years just like DCs have learned and evolved to stop the spread. But we will all just have to wait and see what he rolls out this fall.

    B. I was not arguing the merits of the spread or claiming it was better than a more traditional offense. Michigan is moving away from the spread to a much more pro style (West Coast-ish) offense for a reason (and I couldn't be happier). I was just pointing out that OL blocking in the RR zone-read spread differs from the blocking in a traditional power I or pro set. A spread relies far less on power blocking from the OL and TE and much more on deception and spreading the field to create one-on-one matchups for the offense's playmakers. And the QB's ability to make decisions or "reads" after the snap is a fundamental part of it.
