Michigan State Being Overshadowed in Big Ten

[Marshal Dillon]

Good article about the Spartans. I like this statement from the article:

"I think our performance in the bowl game against Alabama silenced any of those thoughts about us relaxing," Cousins said, referring to the Spartans' 49-7 loss to the Tide in the Capital One Bowl. "We came back with a chip on our shoulder and the realization that we're not among the nation's elite."

A comment made by one Sparty on one of their boards after, or maybe during the MSU-BAMA game, was something to the affect of, "I've never really seen a team beaten on every single play of the game". LOL

Another Sparty statement after the game was " They are going to  name a wing of the hospital after us. I have never seen as many players carried off the field."

Bama was a very good team that day.

That was a good one.

Bama was healthy and hungry. Nobody would have beat us that day.

Yep, mainly because we didn't play to not lose and opened up the offense.

What was the one about "playing an NFL team" when referring to Bama. That one made me laugh.

I give the Spartan fans a huge thumbs up for their funny disparaging remarks about their team against Alabama. I doubt many of our fans would be so funny and respectful if the score was reversed.

That comes from a whole other mindset about winning. The "used to losing" attitude makes it easier to laugh off a loss. I am glad our fanbase does not have it.

It's going to be hard for MSU to repeat their success of last year with only one returning OL starter. A tested, talented OL is absoultely essential; you can't be successful without one.

What I hear in the remarks of cousins the QB they are going in with a great mentality. My really biggest hope for them is they put a whuppin southern style on OSU. RTR!

I think their 2 OG's return but they lost everyone else on the O-line. Not easy replacing 2 OT's, both vital positions. I think overall they have 11 returning starters, but they lost all three of their starting linebackers. So basically, they lost almost all the key ingredients of their team except the QB. Tough to recover from.

Last year was their "big year".  Bama disrupted that little party--LOL. This is what happens with second tier schools/teams. They develope players until they are seniors, say one good recruiting class, then they graduate and their process has to start all over again. So they can only look forward to a competitive team once every 3 or 4 years. Bottom line is that they don't take their football serious.

Oh, I think they do, but they're the little brother in the state. Plus, they have schools like OSU, Penn State, Wisconsin, & others raiding the state for talent. I think this coch is for real but won't know for another 3 years. If they can go 9-3 or 10-2, then they are building the program. If they go 7-5, 8-4, then it's Tommy Tuberville coaching, up & down.
