Well, this gets rid of this nonsense talk about the college playoff.. we are not that caliber.

Shoot for a Big Ten W conference win. Get smoked in the Big Ten championship game.. and then a 50/50 chance of winning a bowl this year....

My expectations are properly set..

I guess the good news is we'll mix up the offense a little more now.

What party did the team stay too late last night? Hungover like play. Lots of FANS have given up, hope the players who are awake havent.

We need to open up the playbook. Wind be damned. Running the same 3-4 plays like a pee-wee football team.

Could not agree more. Our offense is too predictable and not creative. MSU has shown some different play calls to keep us off balance. It's not over but the fat lady has gotten up.

I just had that feeling that we would find that game to suck, and this is it.

Well, we might have drank the koolaid. Maybe a little overrated.

Can we let Walters call offensive plays this drive? Can't be worse than what we've seen so far. By the way, are these the worst announcers the B10 network could find or is it just me?

Hold on. I’m giving DeVito a chance to go down the field with the wind here and see what happens. He is the confident leader. They must score a TD with the wind.

Just a total team breakdown against an inferior opponent, offense, defense, and special teams. Absolutely terrible. If we don't mount a scoring drive right now on this possession, I think this one is beyond salvaging. Open up the field and start mixing in some mid range passes.

Is Devito hurt or something? They aren't letting him attempt anything past 7 yards.
