Absolutly! What is incorrect about that statement. They are one dimmensional and thier defense seems as tho it has improved but they still blow imho.
Now, after all that, you want to try and say that MSU beating Michigan last year at the big house was a showcase win? Seems like you are playing both sides of the argument only when it's favorable for you. - Just saying. (My apologies if had been saying Michigan was very good last year).
Considering thier schedule last year. And remember UM was getting all the Denard hype for Heisman and they were undefeated ( ibelieve) going into that game.
imo, Sparty is right. That wasn't a showcase game at all. You and I both know Michigan sucked last year. Plain and simple
Again, im looking at that based on when they played, and their respective recorrds going in and the fact that MSU is 23-67( not sure if that is exactly corret but its pretty lopsided) against Michigan all time. Before 08 the last time MSU won at Michigan was in 1990. And Michigan did make a bowl game. Lets face it. Every road victory for evey team is big. Theres a reason they call it home field advantage. Unless your of Minnisota's caliber.
.
I think Sparty is just scared b/c of Iowa last year, or the bowl game, or the Purdue game or the Northwestern game... .
Not of NW but Iowa yes,. . Which is why i like MSu in this one, and why this line makes sense. Iowa blasted us and embarrased us. We won the other 2 so why would MSU fans be scared? We didnt play well but still won, thats all that matters.
Lastly, I will say this about Cousins. You said he had a good game, but should have had a couple passes intercepted.... I would be willing to bet that when Cousins got sacked with 40 seconds to go in that game, and the ball went flopping around on the 20 yard line, if Wisconsin recovers, kicks the FG and wins.. your tune about Cousins would be a little bit different today. Instead, a big fat ugly jumped on the ball, saved Cousins ass, so everybody tends to forget about that play.
Shoulda, woulda, coulda brotha. He didnt and so by the stats 290 3tds and no ints, that to me is a pretty fuckin good game. Playing the what if game is not a good way to determine a winner imo.
BTW im not taking anything personal, or even saying im correct. Just providing my opinion instead of being like the rest of these jackoffs and not providing any insight other then coming on here and just saying who is going to win. Just my .02.
