M-Borg vs. THE Flavortown U Thread, Orig. by Buckeye Paul, absconded w/by talent.

[Ghengis Jon]

This is what happens when your brain cannot comprehend anything deeper than the letters "W" and "L". I think an investment in Hooked On Phonics is in order.

Miller has played very well in the last few weeks. He just ran into a defensive buzzsaw last night.

[Rocky Bleier]

He made some good throws that were stripped by MSU defenders. I'm glad Sparty loses #9, #28, #31, and #40 from that defense.

[UMStan White]

And it was his and Oscar's arrogance that made them think he could overcome that buzzsaw!

On the ground I agree whole-heartedly, Miller is a constant dangerous threat. But his passing has arguably gotten worse since mid-season. These are his passing stats from the Illinois, Indian, Michigan games.

Illinois
13-29 (45%), 150 yards

Indiana
11-17 (65%), 160 yards

Michigan
6-15 (40%), 133 yards

Michigan State
8-21 (38%), 101 yards

38-82 (46%), averaging 136 yards passing over his last 4 games. That is extremely disappointing. I'm not going overboard and saying he sucks like the imbecile at Bucknuts, but those are very mediocre passing stats. I think Craig Krenzel might've been better.

Not entirely Miller's fault, of course. Our talent at receiver is not what it was as recently as 2010.

[Rocky Bleier]

Yeah, they're so depleted with only C. Brown and D. Smith.

[UMStan White]

Uh ,,,Strangelove. Nobody outside Ohio gives a shit!

[whodean]

OSU is a mortal fucking lock if either FSU or Alabama lose. Mortal. Fucking. Lock.


LOL

I thought that after they lost Worthy. And Gholston, and Bell. Dantonio is getting the most out of his talent.

[Jeff Buchanan]

Right now, if a vote were taken, Dantonio would receive mine for the best coach in the B1G.

He took a pretty average offense this season and turned it into a progressively better, 11-1 team that railed both Michigan and osu.

It's just nutz to rag on him (all fun and games aside). He is a proven commodity. Someone up thread posted that Sparties fortunes will turn, just a matter of time, they are lucky.

I don't know on what basis that claim is a made. He's recruiting well and he seems to do a much better job of getting a lot out of his players. He does this regardless of rankings so, he's capable of turning decent recruiting into dominant teams.

Not sure what will happen with Narduzzi. If I recall, he was offered a HC position at the end off last season and turned it down. Don't remember the details.

Since Mike Hart's poorly chosen words, M has eaten Sparty's dust. M is a has been and until Hoke delivers on a turnaround and sustains it like Brandon seems to think he will, he's a second or third tier coach and M football will be too.

I'm not celebrating or talking shit until the shit is worth dishing out or celebrating about.

[whodean]

When M gets their act together MSU/M should be some fun battles

[hack]

Low expectations already taking their toll, it seems.

[iam416]

LOL @ Whodean's blatant dishonesty. Heh. Too bad you were dead fucking wrong all year about a 1-loss team being ranked ahead of an undefeated OSU.

Also LOL @ M getting their act together.

[iam416]

BTW, Whodean, please remit payment for picks contest if you haven't already. I don't much care about your lies and shit, and your Alabama fandom and your Michigan State fandom, but I do care about fronting cash.

[iam416]

Thanks for the payment, Whodean!

[Dr. Strangelove]

Local fan favorite Drew Sharp votes OSU #15...lol
