The Blue Board

I don't have a link (? maybe somebody does?) but I believe that the Big Ten officials reviewed it and the ball hit the ground before the time ran out.

Instant replay didnt start in college football until like '04 or '05. Nice try tho

Like I said: the rule was changed during the very next off season. Without any kind of vote I may add. That only happens when something was F'd up big time.

I gave MSU credit for outplaying Michigan for most of that game. That's all they'll ever get from me, when I talk about that game

No debate needed. Cuz my opinion will never change. I've said all i'll ever say about it. Same thing every time.

I thought he was talking instant replay- my bad if not. But yes- of course the ball hit the ground before the clock ran out. Thats cuz 0:01 stayed on the clock forever. That was thanks to the MSU time keeper. Maybe officials did review it after the game, like you say. But it's not like they were just gonna change the outcome of the game or something. BUT- Next thing you know- no school is allowed to use their own scoreboard operators anymore. A official has to be in change of it starting the following season. It was because of that game.

Like I said: the past is the past. Nuff said!

Michigan is the best and MSU sucks.

That about sums it up.

I got your back.

Pages 1-4: Good discussion

Pages 4-6: Flame war

And it continues on at about that ratio; 2:1 solid discussion to flames.

Actually, it's pretty good, all things considered.

FWIW, analyst at SMSB said Spartan target Jamal Lyles may end up being the best LB in MI by the end of the year.

Yea, I don't bring up '04 or '05, the "if Stanton wasn't hurt" or "if MSU had a K" games. Ls are Ls; winning teams make their own "luck", which tends to just be superior talent and coaching. Luck would be a low pass bouncing off someone's foot, into the air and to an open WR 6 yards ahead of the nearest defender or into the arms of a DB with a clear path to the endzone. The rest is preparation, skill and execution.

PASS INTERFERENCE!

I'm sorry there is no way that Lyles ends up being better than Ross or Jenkins-Stone. Not a chance.

Lyles is a low BCS prospect.

Well, the analyst did say that, but I doubt it ends up happening. He is getting a ton of interest, so it wouldn't surprise me if he moved to a high 3-star or low 4-star. His recruitment seems almost identical to Ed Davis a year ago (they're even the same size, 6'4 215). Strong SMSB performance. Offer from MSU and some other B1G schools (Iowa, Wisky, etc.). Commit to MSU (hopefully) in a week or so.

The last 9 games

2001: Clock Game

2002: Bobby William's response to whether he lost the team : "I don't know". UM win, 49-3 (I won't feel like the rivalry is evening out until we administer a similar beatdown)

2003: Chris Perry 51 carry game for 204 yards. A sack of Navaare and subsequent 60+ yard fumble return makes it 27-20 UM in the 4th, but MSU couldn't convert a last second TD drive. UM wins 27-20

2004: Stanton goes down injured after MSU is up 17-7 in the 2nd Q. To that point he had nearly 200 yards of total O. 3OT game that UM wins 45-37

2005: Battle of the Terrible Kickers. Both Ks miss a chance to give their team the lead, tied 31, late in the 4th. MSU's K misses a 30-something FG in OT. Rivas redeems himself with a similar chip-shot, UM wins 34-31 OT.

2006: UM's rush D is the best the NCAA has seen in a long time. An early INT of Henne is ruled incomplete on the first drive, and UM never looked back. 37-13 W for Blue.

2007: MSU is up 24-14 with 8 min left in the 4th. Henne leads 2 late 4th Q scoring drives and UM wins 28-24. Bike Hart runs his mouth afterwards, and the Curse of Dantonio is born

2008: MSU's first win in AA since 1990, and no 2-pt conversion controversy. MSU wins 35-21, and UM is given a "gift" TD on an incorrect pylon ruling by the officials.

2009: UM comes in ranked #25 and 4-0, MSU 1-3. After seeing a 20-6 4th Q lead evaporate under the September Heisman specialist Tate Forcier. MSU's terrible pass D comes through, as a tipped pass in the endzone is caught by maligned MSU CB Chris L. Rucker. After a pitch is fumbled by Glenn Winston, a subsequent completion to BJ Cunningham sets up 3rd and 9 from the 24. Larry Caper runs into MSU history with a 5 broken-tackle TD run to win it, 26-20 MSU.

2010: Both teams come into the game unbeaten for the first time since 1999. After building a 10-7 lead, UM surrenders 24 straight points and ultimately loses 34-17, the largest MSU margin of victory over the Wolverines since 1967 (A 34-0 MSU beatdown of UM).

LMAO. Let me guess who that was. Dave Berk?
