Rich Rod is 0-2 vs State and 0-1 vs Ohio St……He will be gone soon

Victory pulled out of the jaws of defeat pulled out of the jaws of victory.

But victory nonetheless.

But knock off that “below average coach” stuff. UM made the adjustments and damn near pulled out the last gasp victory. When UM gets more talent to suit RichRod’s system (especially on defense), look out.

Too many elements of SOS today for my liking. Penalties galore, turnovers, blowing a 4th Q lead. I am happy with the win but we have very little room to run our mouths.

I look forward to the day when an MSU win is a good but businesslike win over a rival.

It was pretty much dominated by the Spartans, but they nearly found a way to lose it. Of course, there’s an asterisk there because in past years, we would have actually lost.

Kudos to the players for rallying back and finally finishing off the team, but the execution really needs to be refined. We outplayed Michigan pretty terribly, but turnovers and penalties once again made a game a lot closer then it had any right being.

Here’s to hoping that crap gets identified and purged for the rest of the season.

Methodical domination for 3+ quarters followed by the clutch plays when it was all on the line.

we almost lost that in the most nightmarish fashion possible. I loathe that Tate character, but I have to say, the Kid is good. There will be some interesting games/matchups between us the next few years. We got this one though!

GO STATE

More snaps for Fortener, please.

2005, Michigan came in to Spartan Stadium unranked and 2-2 after losing to Notre Dame and Wisconsin. They were on their way to a 7-4 regular season and ABSOLUTELY had to have that win to save a winning season.

Michigan State was 4-0, and ranked after beating Notre Dame and a bunch of nobodies. It APPEARED that they were on the way to a decent year, but as it turned out the early sked was weaker than it appeared. We ended up 5-6.

Had we beaten Michigan that day, rather than lose in overtime due to HISTORICALLY awful FG kicking, then both teams would have been 6-6 and we may have gon to a bowl game. (And John L. Smith would probably have hung on for another season.)

Instead, Michigan got the season saving win in overtime that they absolutely had to have. Today, just about the whole story was reversed.

……I really think that michigan would be happier with Les Miles……Hes a much better coach in my opinion……I just dont think hes that good so I will continue ro say hes below average……I have that right.

His resume at WV was impressive, but a lot of coaches have impressive track records at multiple schools and then get somewhere where they just don’t click (JLS is one such example). I’m not saying RichRod is going to flame out by any means but he’ll have to put together a couple of good seasons before the jury is completely in.

This is a young Michigan team with a really bad D. They are much better than last year and as long as they continue to improve he’ll stick around.

On the game – fantastic finish, but why oh why do we have to make everything so difficult? We were up by 2 TDs and went into clock burning mode with like 8 minutes left in the game. That is way too early to sit on a 2 score lead.
