The Official Michigan, MSU, and 1 Random Guy from Arky Thread

    Another screw job. Wow. That is just odd. Combine that with OSU and... yeah. Two storied programs. Two huge, huge blown calls. Makes you wonder.

    There's more to these games than just the plays. Too much money at large. You wonder just how deep the rabbit hole goes...

    Just have to get to where you can overcome calls that don't go your way. Tough loss. You can see the improvement. But MSU needs to learn from it and grow. The best part about college athletics is learning from adversity. These kids seem to be getting better let's see what happens with them. The conference is still horrible. We aren't that far away

    And this is why MSU will never be a top tier program. They don't have any idea how to handle a loss.

    Seems logical. Internet fans determine success, not coaches or players. It's fans on the internet.

    When team loses close game, blame the refs.

    I'm sorry, that must have gone over your head. What I was implying was that you are simply a microcosm of the entire MSU Football program.

    Harry, let it go. You have two huge trolls you're dealing with. I've blocked them and this thread is much better. Why quote them? Funny thing is, neither are students or alums. Just block and move on.

    roflmao I can only assume based on this thread that I'm one of the trolls you are referring to. I've been here a while, I'm most certainly not a troll, at least I don't blame everything on the refs.

    Putting someone on ignore can help this thread at times. But at other times, you have those same guys that go on rants that are too good to pass up. Just take their post with a grain of salt. There are several on here that I do that with.

    Or 28, not sure how he came up with 15. That's not even close to correct.

    The defense just gives up plays when they can't give up plays. Disappointed in thre man pressure to start the last drive and putting a third string corner on an island to end it. I know narduzzi and Dantonio are thinking a sack with 11 seconds left probably ends the game, but damn.

  • Sparty got phucked last night and not in the good way. That late PI call was garbage (B10 PI calls have been garbage all year). And that MSU pick 6 that was called back was unvelievable. How can any official make that call?

    4th and 10 less then a minute and we give up a 38 yard play. We screwed ourselves. The worst part of that is we could be sitting here today and saying we overcame bad calls, now we're the typical loser fan base blaming the refs. Get to the point where bad calls don't matter. We were yesterday and then blew it.

    This team is miles away. We need to be better in every aspect. Now people are saying call the big ten office. That's embarrassing as hell.

    I'm not jumping on the conspiracy theory bandwagon ... Delany is not out to get you ... but those were bad calls in a close game. The B10 needs to spend some time in the offseason working on PI calls and all these "targeting a defenseless player" calls. They have been very inconsistent all season and are affecting the outcomes of important games. There was a PI call against UNL much earlier in the game that was similarly awful IMO. That's all I'm saying.

    Spot on Dwags.

    I realize it sounds differently when a Michigan fan says it compared to when a MSU fan says it, but don't put yourself in a position where the refs can decide the outcome. Allowing Nebraska to run for over 300 yds, having Nebraska WRs running free... Hell, some MSU fans were harping on Minnesota not blitzing when had a 3rd and forever, MSU should have done the same thing when they were in a similar position.

    As you said, MSU just isn't good enough right now. If this team takes the steps it should in the offseason, they will be challenging for the division and league title next year.

    The conspiracy theory stuff is garbage that fans like Harry throw out there. There are bad calls, and the bad calls are going both ways over the course of the season.

    Hopefully adjustments are made, but not to the point where defenders are mugging receivers.

  • What's the word on Denard?
    I'd like to see how Gardner performs against a decent team, if he is in fact replacing Bellomy next year.

  • I don't know man, the PI was just bad. I get Wags point, but that's just a BS call

    The personal foul on Adams sucked too but son a bitch man, State had TWO of those stupid penalties well behind the play. That's just ignorant on the players AND coaches. You wanna preach 60minutes of necessary roughness, you live with the consequences.
