MSU: 8 – 2, and 5 – 1 in the Big Ten….
Last time we had a record like this was John L’s first year (8-5, 5-3), or Nick’s (the Traitor, (10 – 2, 6-2)) last year…
Side note: Was able to meet up with the ES at (http://www.enlightenedspartan.com) .. Great guy.. ES and his buddy Bob stopped by our tailgate to have a couple drinks and discuss the Wisconsin game.. Its great to know that the Blog O’sphere has actual good people in it…. ES and Bob is Good people…
Nice to meet you ES.. hope to see catch up with you before tip off at some Spartan BBall Games..
The Game had me on standing the entire 3rd and 4th quarter.... Good thing our section doesn’t mind.. What a nerve racking game..
If this would have been the Spartans of previous years.. they would not have stayed in it.. and continue to hang on to win..
Injuries are starting to take their toll.. .. Dropped passes and huge hits were wearing the guys down.. we were running out of receivers, but the Walk On Blair White came through again for a second week..
Javon had the flu all week.. so he was less than his normal self…
Brian Hoyer was amazing.. he did a good job of keep coming back..
DNBTU Brett Swenson.. 4 for 4 today….
The Defense wasn’t as tough today as I expected.. but Wisconsin has some BIG Boys with some very physical play..
