nevermind. damn i was 10 off

Just a few weeks til kickoff. Curious to hear from everyone on how they think their team will stack up this year. For me, MSU has a big year ahead of them. The schedule is in Spartans favor and realistically, there is no reason why this team cant get 8-9 wins. No OSU on schedule. Toughest road games are at Michigan, at Penn State. Greg Jones is one of the best defensive players in the country. This team could either exceed expectations or fall flat on their face like last year. Either way, Dantonio's team is here and its all on the coach now.

ok is it in Jan or Feb??? I have recently moved so if its Jan 26th, then I cant make it due to work that night. And if its Feb 26th, I DEFINATELY can't make because I will be getting married that day.

only thing that will make it sweeter, a loss tonight by the Heat to the Cavs. GO CAVS!!

If Rich Rod gets fired, it will be this week...before the bowl game. Greg Robinson would coach the bowl game. As for Michigan State, I don't care if its a share and they probably wont go to a BCS bowl but... 2010 BIG TEN CHAMPIONS!!

Thats what I am afraid of. I get the feeling that the Tigers brass targeted Crawford or Werth and then settled for V-Mart because they had a better shot at getting that deal done than the other ones. Maybe its me being wishful thinking that hopes that the deal can still be arranged. I agree with you on bringing back Ordonez. I have a feeling that ordonez won't get much on the market so his salary shouldnt be that high. I don't see another starter coming here (even tho I would love to get Cliff Lee). I think Porcello, Galarraga, Bonderman might fill out the rotation.

love the bat we get with v-mart. Probably gonna play a little catcher or DH mostly. Does this move help us get Crawford or is that deal over now??

I hope your right. Assuming MSU takes care of business in Happy Valley, a Michigan upset against the Buckeyes would send Sparty to the Rose Bowl!! GO BIG BLUE!! BEAT THE BUCKEYES!!

Dear Santa, Is it too much to ask Michigan to win the next two games so Michigan State can win the Big Ten title outright and head to the Rose Bowl?? Maybe just beat Ohio State. I am not too worried in the Spartans this saturday against Purdue. MSU was really getting banged up so a bye week is just what the doctor ordered. The last game at PSU worrys me a bit. Joe Pa could announce his retirement before the game and all that is gonna do is fire up the faithful.

Benoit has always been a solid middle reliever. Problem is that teams like Texas wanted to make him a starter and he clearly isn't a starter, kinda similar to Miner situation. Give me Crawford and Dunn...and I will be very happy this offseason.

"Anybody who says they love Michigan and love our program yet they go out and say something really negative, just because they want to vent, you don't really love your program because that's not helping you in recruiting," Coach Rich Rod So I guess the fanbase is the next target for Rich Rod.

I actually will agree with you on this one. Special teams is worse too. Ok Michigan fans. Do you really want this team to win another game this year?? Another win so they can go to a bowl game and maybe Rich Rod keeps his job.....or would you rather they just bottom out, lose all their remaining games and bring in a new coach.

again i ask, how is this year different than last year???

In college football, you need luck every now and then. Luck has definately been on MSU's side this year. I understand with what your saying in MSU but the fact is they are undefeated and with only 7 undefeated teams left, they deserve to be at least in the top 7. With the voters having the spartans 5th outta 7 undefeated teams should at least tell you that they are not convinced in this team. A win against Iowa would change a lot of voters minds IMO. Also its not what team you beat when you play them, its how they do after you beat them that can effect you. Just ask Boise State. Yeah they beat Va Teach but then Va Tech laid an egg against James Madison and thats may hurt the Broncos in the end of this season, getting into the National Championship Game. Its interesting in that if you have 3 undefeated teams left...say Oregon, Boise State and TCU...with Bama being a 1 loss team. Would the BCS move a 1 loss Alabama team in the title game over undefeated Boise St. and TCU?? I think they would. If anything to avoid the BCS championship going to a non-BCS conference team.

Everyone goes to the schedule and says MSU has a weak schedule. When compared to Oregon's schedule, the Spartans have definately had a tougher one. In fact of the top 5 teams in the country, only Auburn has had a tough schedule so far. MSU beat Wisconsin, plain and simple. Everyone said Wisconsin was overrated and couldnt win the big games when it counted and all they did was win 2 big games back to back. Even if MSU gets "rolled" in a BCS bowl, isn't this a helluva accomplishment and shows that the program has arrived. I bet Michigan fans wish their team was "rolled" in a BCS game again.

I haven't been online lately. I have and will continue to always post about my spartans, win or lose. 8-0 is unbelievable to imagine. It maybe premature but I requested new years day off at work with the wishful thinking that if MSU plays the Rose Bowl, I will be able to watch it live. I will have to wait and see what happens. Looking forward to this weekends Iowa game as this really is the last huge hurdle in the Spartans dream season.

what game is michigan gonna win to get a bowl game?? here is their remaining schedule @ Penn State Illinois @ Purdue Wisconsin @ Ohio State I doubt Michigan will be favored in any of those games and once again ask Michigan fans what is different this year than last year??

7-0!!!!! Still waiting for the other shoe to drop, like I am sure a lot of other Spartans fans are. Really think their 2 toughest challenges left are these next 2 weeks. I will gladly take 1-1 in the next 2 games, but going 2-0 would mean Rose Bowl hype. Curious to see what BCS would do if the Spartans, Boise State and TCU were all undefeated...would they serious send Boise and TCU to their title game or would they put MSU in there to crash the party. Oh and one more thing... THANK YOU WISKY FOR BEATING THE BUCKEYES!!!

Who cares!!! Pistons are a shell of what they used to be and even if they sniff the playoffs, they will be swept out by either the Heat, Celtics, or Magic. Basically only 4 teams in the NBA...the 3 teams in the East and the Lakers.

I originally thought 8-9 wins. I want more now. I agree on the Iowa game being the toughest left. I can see them losing 2 games but not 3 down the stretch. A 10-2 season while do wonders for the program. If they get thru the rest of this month undefeated tho, they got a serious shot at the Rose Bowl and that would be crazy.

I would be shocked if Tate is on Michigan next year. I see a transfer big time, just like Ryan Mallett. Blak, I think anything less than a 10 win season for MSU is a disappoint. Do you agree with the remaining schedule?

All prior to the game, Michigan fans were "Denard for Heisman" "Denard over Pryor". Both of those are insults. Denard is nothing more than Tate from last year. Denard is human, he is not as good as Pryor, he is not a Heisman candidate. He can be stopped and his numbers are inflated because Michigan didn't play anyone their first 5 games.

LOL MSU makes it the rest of this month undefeated, then they should have no problem in Nov and control their own destiny. MSU already owns the tiebreaker for Rose Bowl over OSU so I like their chances. Bottom line, anything short of a 10 win season for MSU is a disappointment when you look at the rest of the schedule for the Spartans.

What a game by Sparty!!!! Offense was everything I hoped they could be against Michigan and the defense was even more. Denard couldnt do anything and made too many costly mistakes. Denard is a good athlete and nothing more IMO. This game showed it too. As far as MSU, I really love how balanced this team is and the schedule sets up nicely for a run at the Rose Bowl. Hard to believe that the season finale might REQUIRE me to do something I never have done before, root for Michigan against the Buckeyes. One game at a time tho. Illinois looks pesky after beating PSU.

UM-MSU normally are. why should this year be any different
