Can this kid possibly stop throwing the football up for grabs???

 

[jurb26]

I feel like I time warped back 15 years watching this Rose Bowl... And I like it.

 

[Raider Nation]

That cannot happen.

 

[sho nuff]

Haven't run well...try running on 4th and 4. Good call.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

If Michigan State has a few more athletes on offense, this is Alabama north. Pretty much the same recipe and it's impressive to watch.

 

[jurb26]

MSU has controlled this game since the opening Stanford drive. It's kind of amazing it's still a tie.

 

[Raider Nation]

This game is awesome. Would anyone rather watch, say, Baylor vs. Oregon than this? No chance.

 

[jurb26]

And that is why it's still tied. MSU has shot themselves in the foot about a dozen times. Wow.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Wow, turnovers just killing them.

 

[whoknew]

Brutal fumble there.

 

[sporthenry]

This game is awesome. Would anyone rather watch, say, Baylor vs. Oregon than this? No chance.

Why can't we watch both?

 

[jurb26]

Herby, that was turn over number 3, not 1.

 

[Raider Nation]

Conservative Stanford is conservative.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

If Michigan State loses this game, the coaches are going to look at this film and be sick.

 

[Abraham]

I don't care how the conferences do, but I care about how the teams that beat Tennessee do. It gives me some satisfaction to know that South Carolina is probably going to finish in the top 10 and the vols beat them.

 

[jurb26]

More 9mm shots to the foot for MSU. Great field position followed up with a negative play and penalty.

 

[jurb26]

Boom. Let's see if Stanford can respond.

 

[fantasycurse42]

White just made Clowney look like a clown.

Not impressed with Clowney at all. Looks like he's not even trying.

He's not.

He will be a bust in he NFL.

He's about as close to a sure thing as there is. He played all season at half speed, trying not to ruin his career.

The talent is undeniable & is not being questioned by any scouts... The obvious concern is his love for the game and staying motivated once he gets paid.

 

[Politician Spock]

Doesn't the phrase "burn a timeout" indicate the wasting of a timeout?

Why does Brent view that logical timeout as a burned one?

I can't listen to a game he is announcing anymore because of things like that.

His worse habit is when he repeats the same fact over, and over, and over, and over, and over.... Did you you know AJ Hawk is dating Brady Quinn's sister? I can never forget it now thanks to Brent repeating it 200 times during the OSU/ND Fiesta Bowl game.

I do like how he references the pointspread all the time though.

He only does that in games he has bet on.

 

[drummer]

I expect Shaw to call 3 consecutive runs and the have to punt this possession.

 

[fantasycurse42]

Can't believe it's been 8 years since the UT/USC Rose Bowl! That game was amazing!

 

[guncrib]

ok...so musburger said after the MSU go ahead that an underdog was howling. Was he talking about Stanford? I really, really hate musburger...

 

[drummer]

I expect Shaw to call 3 consecutive runs and the have to punt this possession.

Almost had that one right.

 

[Abraham]

I realize they may lose today, but if I'm texas I target David shaw right up until he files a restraining order to get Steve Patterson off of his lawn. These guys successfully play exactly the kind of football Texas fans love.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

I was extremely happy when Saban left MSU, I'll be even happier when D'Antonio does. He's a terrific coach.

 

[wadegarrett]

Agree...helped Ohio State win a National Championship.

 

[jurb26]

That spot was horrible. Gave Stanford an extra yard.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

looked like pretty obvious holding on the outside there

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

linemen downfield always on that

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Stanford just set the record for illegal men down field. 10

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

That hurt through the TV

 

[Doctor Detroit]

This has been a terrific football game. I can hope the OU/Bama game will be something like this tomorrow...I can dream.

 

[Parrothead]

game over..

 

[jurb26]

Fitting end for MSU. Dominating performance by their D and the D winning the game on a 4th down stuff.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

I'd like to thank my fellow MIchiganders for making me a fistful of cash.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Had there been an 8 team playoff this year, Sparty would have had a shot. I think they could beat anyone.

 

[drummer]

Horrible play calls from Shaw. Just gutless.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Horrible play calls from Shaw. Just gutless.

You wanted a pass on 3rd or 4th?

 

[whoknew]

With Conner Cook playing like he is, that's an extremely good football team.

 

[BigJohn]

The B1G East Division is going to be absolutely brutal in the future.

 

[drummer]

Horrible play calls from Shaw. Just gutless.

He didn't give his QB a chance to try and win the game. What's funny is that Herb's was saying it was a young QB's dream to lead a drive to win the 100th Rose Bowl. Shaw just went into a shell with his play calling while not Gaffney not doing nothing after the 1st quarter.

Hoyer only attempted around 16 passes the whole game. Just way too conservative. But props to the Spartans. Great defense, and good QB and receiver play.

Maybe Brady Hoke will wear a headset and we'll get back to the Rose Bowl someday.

 

[PlasmaDogPlasma]

Blake Bortles time.

 

[BigJohn]

What the crap is this anthem?

 

[JaxBill]

The only proper Rose Bowl features York and Lancastrian beheadings.

 

[JaxBill]

What the crap is this anthem?

The anthems today have been brutal.

 

[Christo]

Nice unis, Baylor

LET'S GO KNIGHTS!

I didn't mind the calls at all. Dance with the date you brought. Line up your best and let them beat their man. Sometimes the other team is better. Great game.

 

[culdeus]

So this is the last year we have to endure this midmajor crap crashing major bowls right?
