Mission to CFB's National Championship accomplished. But the shine on the NC Trophy is embarrassingly wearing off. It's M B-Ball ..... or hockey or volley ball or name your college sport favorite time ...... until next year.
There's a bit of cherry picking there but still .........
The web has been offering up the idea that Dantonio ought to move out of his HC position and into something else within the Athletic Department if he wants to retain the rep he's built up at MSU. His time as a successful coach - making great teams out of less talent - is probably up. MSU under Dantonio made hay during the Rodriguez and Hoke eras on the field and in recruiting. Since 2013, M's best recruiting class was #5 (2013 and 2016), MSUs was #17 (2016). Since 2016, MSU's talent level has plummeted compared to M's. MSU got 11 4*s in 2016 - their highest rated class @ #17 - to 3 4*s in 2018. MSU is in a similar position with respect to the rest of the BIG. Talent wise, his teams are getting surpassed by almost everyone in the BIG East except Rutgers.
I think it's a myth that Dantonio gets more out of less. There's been plenty of documentation that his big seasons - the 10 win ones - came from screwy wins manufactured out of thin air. His performances were probably outliers and he is now and inevitably returning to the norm and that is probably 6-7 wins per season, 7 the ceiling now. It's more likely that he's going to have plenty of 3-5 win seasons. If he wants to leave a decent legacy, now's the time to hang it up.

That seems way overboard. Yes, Dantonio thrived with traditional powers down, but for chrissakes. We've seen enough to know for ourselves that "screwy wins manufactured out of thin air" is something he's good at and plays an active role in achieving. I'm sure some of those wins are just luck and bounces, but plenty of them are Dantonio getting more from less. Will he continue to? Good question. So many variables there. But no sense in writing him off like that. That's crazy.
Ball wasn't catchable and the Kentucky wide receiver initiated contact, no idea how the official called defensive pass interference there. Still Missouri had 8 second half possessions, went 3 and out all 8 times.
Oregon State was the most improbable win today. Snapped a 22-game road losing streak and 13-game conference streak. And was down 31-3 in 3rd. And had game-winning XP blocked at end of regulation.
Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]? Brady Hoke: You know.....not....good.
