And now to rag on Michigan

So it's been a horrible season, we knew that the offense would suck, but to see the defense as bad as it's been was a surprise. But should the offense sucking be a real surprise? Looking at last year's stats UofM had one of the worst offenses in the Big 10, yes even with all the NFL talent they were still one of the worst, and damnit I didn't know that. The defense last year was just as bad, but this year they couldn't rely on the offense to do anything. But the worst part of this season was reading Brandon Minor's comments after the OSU game:

"You can't really blame Rich Rod because everybody on the team did not buy in like they're supposed to. We have a couple of guys not going hard," he said. "We'll correct that most definitely. That ain't going to happen on my watch as a senior."

So the team quit on their coach early, some probably stayed because they couldn't play anywhere else, but why the hell quit on your coach/team? Why couldn't the coach get them to paly, why couldn't you sit the guys who didn't want to play for you? So after reading Minor's comments, does the real rebuilding start next year? I mean if the players don't want to play for you, and there will be departures, will next year be the same as this year, or do we start seeing some players that RRod actually wants. But to his credit even getting blown out at least the team didn't look like they gave up yesterday. The bright spot is he started 3-8 at West Virginian, and we all know what happened there, so it might be fun to watch two good teams in Michigan again.

So let the crybaby Michigan comments commence.

Wait what did you say?

SO the first time in years that MSU has a chance to go to the Rose Bowl, yes you need the perfect conditions, a 1 in 100 win against PSU, and a 1 in a million shot of UofM beating tOSU this year. So you kind of have to root for a team you hate. State fans need UofM to beat Ohio, and if you can manage a win you're in the Rose Bowl, and are Big Ten Champs. (Holy Crap I am writing about MSU in the Rose Bowl). You expect your coach to know this, right? He should be saying things like we need to worry about ourselves and hope for the best, blah blah, blah...

But No he says:

I'm not rooting for Michigan," said head coach Mark Dantonio, who has spent 11 of the last 14 years working for Michigan State or Ohio State. "I'm going to focus on our task at hand here and worry about the things we can control. I have too many good friends and too many people that wouldn't let me back into their house to let me do that.

"So Go Bucks."

Wait, What?!?! SO you mean to tell me that you would rather see your old friends/team win, then admit you want a school you hate to win? You realize you need Michigan to win, not only should you want it you should be praying for a win. But you don't want to burn the bridges at Ohio, and that doesn't make me feel to good about you. Do you actually care about your current coaching job? DO you not realize that for your program this is a gigantic leap?

I'm not even a Spartan fan and that comment pissed me off, I'm not expecting a Michigan win, but damn. How does this make State fans feel? Your coach is rooting for the Buckeyes to win the Big Ten when you have a slim shot at it? Seriously WTF is up with that?

Beer and Bangers

Just a thought. Eric it is up to you, but with that what are the plans for next week?
