Dantonio, the defensive coordinator under Jim Tressel during Ohio State's 2002 national championship season, said he is going to use Michigan as a benchmark for MSU. But Ohio State is king in terms of facilities and attracting talent. Use the Buckeye way....

its sad but as a State Fan I agree with almost all of it. Since Nick Saban left MSU the spartans have been mediocre at best. Making only one bowl game and beating Michigan once (Im almost positive 2001 os the only year). Hopefully now that John Loser Smith is gone the green and white wont choke in big games and will contend for a big ten and a national Title. As State Fans we deserve to have a good team. This is a new team, a new era, and hopefully a new begining for spartan football.


GO STATE!!!!!!:no1:

That it will be and the Irish will be quick to defend their home field after the 2205 planting of the "S" flag at the 50yrd line. South Bend is almost as good as being in East Lansing though.
