Grading Michigan State Football

Happy Thanksgiving!

Game eleven grade: fail.

I did not see that coming.

:(

Game twelve grade: fail.

How many times would you guess that you went over that game 12 tape to generate a rating 8 months later? I would think 6 at a minimum

Just twice. But the second time was at 1/5360 speed.

Game one grade: pass.

I was beginning to wonder, listening to our shitty fans, did we actually win and cover or was it all a mirage...

Reading Pervis’ grade outs is just a goddamn delight. It’s really what brings me back to CFB anymore.

Game two grade: pass.

Game three grade: fail.

In 3+ years, 2 games, two full seasons and a COVID season Tucker and staff developed a team that can compete in the MAC.

The ambivalence continues.  I’ll continue to Expect a Miracle on game days like I do when I buy lottery tickets when the jackpots are $250M or more.  Right now I don’t the odds are that much different.

Feel bad for Noah Kim but he’s the send coming of Bert “stare’em down” Vaughn and the Oline in front of him is woeful.

Sooooo…. Pass?

Travis, I haven't been so disinterested in MSU football since the closing days of Bobby Williams or JLS' last season.

I truly feel bad for the players and have sympathy for Barnett who's been charged with coaching and trying to convince players to stay when no one has a clue who the new coach might be.

I'll be channel hoping the rest of the season. Follow new Big Ten members from the west coast, hopefully watch Clemson lose 2-3 more and watch Saban yell at his assistants.

Oh yeah that was my senior year, I went to the last game just because it was my last one, what a sad sight that was. Totally empty and a contrast from my first game which was the smoke and fire year which did actually start out pretty fun for like three weeks.

Anyway not so bad that the last game is in Detroit now there was going to be absolutely nobody there.

The PSU game at Ford Field will probably look like a White Out game at State College and a ratings bomb.

Better there than at home

It is “at home”. A committee said so.

I refer to my previous argument when this was announced...if we're going to get pasted by PSU anyway, at least make their fans spend their money in E.L. Especially considering the move to Detroit is revenue neutral.

I don't think getting waxed 50-7 is going to help recruiting in the D.

Can I just suggest that no sane person would ever give up a home game unless it was worth 50 million or more. How do you square that?

I'll chalk it up to a newish AD getting bullied and okie doked by the conference. Hopefully he learns from it.

FAIL.
MSU is putting the turd in Saturday.

Game four grade: fail.

I'm embarrassed that you were able to give such an accurate grade so much more quickly than I could. I may have to reevaluate my entire evaluation system, which unfortunately could take a while.

This feels like a work email.

I've received thousands of heartfelt PMs over the past few weeks, pleading with me to take into consideration that this staff and team were dropped rudderless into turbulent waters and forced to navigate this rough current by themselves, and to grade them with an understanding mind and a generous heart. So I will.

Game five grade: fail.

You are nothing if not a fair man, Pervis.

I believe the blind Justice statues should be replaced with a blind Pervis statue. Maybe a beer in the other hand. There is nobody mor fair an unbiased than P.M.

I'd say you guys are too kind, but you're exactly the right amount of kind.

Hopefully the team can earn a passing grade with the bye week.

That will depend on the volleyball, hockey teams.

Game six grade: fail.

Game seven grade: vacated.

Game eight grade: fail.

Hey, we literally are 2 head in the ass plays from 5 wins

If I heard more bullshit about the dreaded Black Shirt defense I was going to puke.

Nebraska’s defense was ranked 6th once, 7th twice and 9 or below the rest of their time in the conference.
Black Shirt -BS.

Despite the cancer named Mel Tucker, this team was very close to beating Iowa, Minnesota and could have beaten Maryland.

The best thing about this win was to show the prospective coaches the cupboard isn’t completely bare.
