sparty: this was essentially the same team that knocked off that 98 buckeyes team that was loaded.

fuck you.

Milk Money: I’ll let it slide since you were probably a little too young to remember what a BEAST Lo White was. Dude was like a cross between Duckett’s power and Ringer’s elusiveness and speed. Had MSU been in the national title picture (and had Tim Brown not been on national TV every weekend), he might have been hoisting the Heisman.

i remember them more than you think. Lo and Rison were a great combo. but look at the overall talent of that 99 team sickness. they could play with anyone. the letdown bug got ahold of them. remember, this was essentially the same team that knocked off that 98 buckeyes team that was loaded.

sparty:
that team probably could have whooped up on the 87 Rose Bowl team.

You can say that again.We seemed to beat the good teams, then lose to Northwestern, Purdue and Minnesota.Just the mention of Drew Brees gives me nightmares – not of his actual play, but about the incredible 4th quarter collapses…

that 1999 team was so frustrating. sooooo good, but those two losses after the Michigan game fucking blew. that team probably could have whooped up on the 87 Rose Bowl team.

thought you were going to say the mole or whatever that is on his face

sparty:
yeah, we got stomped last year by the first two. not sure if you noticed that we were actually leading Georgia at the half of that game.They were the better team by a pile of miles.Nobody thought we would or could win.To be completely honest, prior to the second year of the John L Smith era, we were unbelievable against the Top 10.

Totally off point but I happened to be in Orlando on vacation during bowl season last year. Thought about trying to find tickets for MSU/Georgia and going just for the hell of it but the girlfriend would have none of it.

Ohio State, Penn State and Georgia would beg to differ.

So you’re admitting that scUM isn’t a good team?Face it, the Nazi Weasels suck.

Umm… I don’t think it is a real huge leap to say Michigan isn’t a very good team this year. Improved, yes. Particularly good. Not yet. They have massive holes on defense and are very young on offense. Not exactly a national title contender.

sparty:
huh? that’s usually been the only time they show up.

Ohio State, Penn State and Georgia would beg to differ.

Geoff:
Did State go to a bowl game last year? Oh… yeah, they just forgot to show up. Like any other time they play a good team in a big game.

Geoff:
Michigan’s injured guy was on the field leading 2 TD drives in a game that should have been over 10 minutes before.

congrats. he also threw a pick. well done.

Geoff:
Yeah, hoot it up from the Little Ceasar’s Pizza bowl.

Milk Money:
I can confess that even if we go 6-6 this year, I will at least be able to laugh at all the UM lovers around here, so life will be good.

Yeah, hoot it up from the Little Ceasar’s Pizza bowl.
