The Blue Board

Yeah it does, another quality win vs an opponent that is likely to be ranked soon. Their losses have been to Michigan and Gonzaga.

They need to take a OL or a RB in the first round. I'd take Chance Warmack as my first pick.

I don't know, i think a game changing LB could be beneficial.

To sparty, thank you for Zach Randolph.

(I'm a Grizzlies fan)

They need LBs and DBs more than OL. Warmack is a beast, but an OG with a top 5 pick?

Halftime

Idk. Maybe a little of both.

TBH it was a weird day. Syracuse, OSU, Illinois, New Mexico and Florida - all very good teams - all played like crap today. I've watched nearly all of OSU's, UF's and Illinois' games this season and today was by far the worst I've seen them play. And Syracuse missed 15 free throws today. That's insane. But I also watched your game against KU earlier this year and you played extremely well in that game. So MSU remains somewhat of a mystery. The MSU team I watched manhandle KU was a much better team than the one I watched struggle with UT today.

Wrong. I questioned MrW's basketball IQ because he stated that MSU will "be nowhere near in the hunt for the B10 title this year." This is flat out stupid statement to make of any ranked team at this point in the season. MSU very well may finish 3-5 games behind the conference champion, I'm not arguing that at all, it is simply very uninformed to suggest that they won't be close at this point in the season.

Then, it get's plain confusing. MrW said: "You will be lucky to finish in the top half of the league." This would imply that MSU would be lucky to finish 6th or better, therefore implying that they must be more likely to get 7th/8th or worse. Yet he has also stated, "You will almost certainly finish behind IU, OSU, UM, Illinois and Minny. And both Wisky and Iowa will give you a run for the sixth spot." This would imply to me that he believes MSU is, at the very least, in a 3-way tie for 6th with 2 other teams. Yet, he said we'd be lucky to get 6th? How does this make sense?

Furthermore, please, please explain to me how it is justifiable at this point that MSU will not compete with those ranked higher than them, yet Wisconsin and Iowa (two teams that received ZERO VOTES) will be equal to a top 20 ranked MSU?

This is why what he was saying was completely uninformed and unintelligent, regardless of whether it was about UM or not.

Which team is the Grizzlies? I need to try to get tickets for when they come to Miami.

Go Canes!

Miami beat us I believe, correct?

I don't get this MSU team. Beat Kansas, struggle against Tuskeegee. Beat Texas, look like shit against Bowling Green for long stretches. I've only watched a handful, but I can see this is going to be a frustrating team to watch unless we get more consistent. What say you basketball experts? What do we need to be the team that beat Kansas and Texas and not be the team that played Tuskegee and Miami?

This is exactly what we saw in football. Losing Cousins and Day Day of course hurt because of the talent loss, but the leadership can't be overlooked while out on the field or court. It goes to show how important recruiting character is besides talent.
