    Dileo and Finchess have both started this year. Here's your link.

    Both started 2/13 games this year..

    Wouldn't exactly call them starters coming back

    Saw Johnny Cash play at an MSU summer fest thing - there was a full moon out that night and he was howling at it.

    God bless him.

    you've seen some great concerts my friend. I saw Iggy with Santana and the Stones back in 82 at the Silverdome. I try to take the kids to as many as i can, the 16 year old is really digging some blues bars lately. (she doesn't get to drink either, only her drunk dad does)

    Michigan failed again today against a top 10 team, MSU can definitely beat you guys next year.

    Hoke's 1-4 on the road against teams with winning records..

    That statement's absolutely true

    And Sparty has a bottom half of the B10 football program and a basketball team that might not finish in the top half of the league this year. This is fun.

    You don't think the O is going to look completely different?

    I've never seen so many gimmicks, misdirections, etc. to try to get Denard the ball as I did today.

    Why would Borges attempt to do the same thing in 2013?

    Would imagine he'll go straight pro style and get away from the spread/gimmicks that went on towards the end of this season..

    I do think the offense will be better next year. It will look a lot like it did in the last games when Gardner was starting. I think the defense will be similar but better.

    No matter what you say brother, it was agreat game I watched today. Two top twenty teams. Fun watching, it was great college football.

    Oh, and if we suck in basketball this year, so be it. Every great program does have it's down years. Hopefully it's only one or two.

  • The refs are blind! No really – Outback Bowl officials make a terrible call on a first down measurement | Dr. Saturday - Yahoo! Sports

    From the blog Dr. Saturday: Fans argue all the time that a referee missed a call, but those arguments are usually subjective. The holding call that killed the drive might have been ticky-tack, but it wasn't black and white that it was a missed call. … Continue reading →

    Delany giving directives to BE officials now?

    I never bought into the Delaney conspiracy, but that is the worst and strangest call I've ever seen. My guess is the guy had money on Michigan.

    Also, I didn't agree with the decision to fake it. I think Michigan should of punted the ball, that was a bad decision.

    Why wouldn't that guy just take a step up, and then look down. WTF? It was nuts. I would have got a 15 as a coach on that one.

    Who's going to replace Denard's 1200+ rushing yards?

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

    Hopefully a combo of DG passing the ball and rawls needs to step up in a big way next year, assuming we go full time pro style

    I think you're splitting hairs here, they both had a ton of playing time. Sidenote- im psyched about funchess' future, kid will be a beast

    Now I'm hearing the same guy gave Michigan the call on the coin flip? WTF? What's up with that?

    Just curious. Not feeling great about the MSU run-game without Bell.

    I missed that so I can't comment, but it sounds like Nader should step in and call for investigation.

    Gardner is going to make up for it in passing yards.

    Hopefully we can actually have a good OL next year, that might make a world of a difference.

    I never worry about these things. How messed up was Iowa? There will be someone to step up. You recruit guys because you believe they can compete on this level. They have 9 months to get better. I'll worry when I see the first game.

    Agree...I feel like our OL will be better, our QB situation will be better and our D will still be good.

    Bell will be missed but it isn't the end of the world.

    They could be, but they're going to have to show it on the field before I believe it. Both lines need to step up a notch or 5.

    I'm pretty worried about the OL development.
