This writer's vision isn't clouded by Blue Wall bullshit. Nice story.

More recognition/respect in that column than they get in a month from the Detroit rags (not counting Rexrode)

He'd never get a job in Detroit.

“I’m impressed with what Michigan State has done,” said Tom Osborne, a Hall of Fame coach at Nebraska and now a member of the College Football Playoff committee.
“My feeling at the end of last season was they could play with anybody. They were very, very strong. Their loss earlier in the year was really unfortunate. Once they got rolling, they were really good.”

That is a very good quote for us. Osborne is part of the committee for the Playoffs, which means his opinion is worth more than most. Hopefully the whole committee is like this, where an early season loss, or even a late season loss, but one that is close, or lost because of bad refs, gets the bump into the Playoff.

I'll say it again, we absolutely get more national respect than we do local. Not saying I need to read MSU fluff pieces every day, all year 'round from the Detroit media....but man, you think they'd want to at least jump on something good that is going down in their very own backyard. But, that seems to be the detroit media way - shit in your own bed.

Solid find. Kudos to the op. Glad to see my thread wasn't a waste

Great news that Osborne is on the selection committee. If we do what we're supposed to do, he'll make sure the other members give us our well earned respect.

It's refreshing to see a conference adversary that is willing to be respectful. None of this "We stubbed our toe..." or "We didn't play Michigan football..." crap coming out of Omaha.

I bet that's that victory bell dickhead from tcock

Loved Kenny Bell's comments @ 0:55 seconds.  I respect this kid's play, and he obviously respects our D.

"They're the most athletic defense I've played by far.  It's not even close."

I thought this whole video was about MSU, so I kept watching for a few seconds more.

Around 3:05 there is yet another nugget of wisdom from Frank Clark:

"I think my coach is a good coach. I think he's a great person. But like I say, he's even a better coach than, a, than a person."

Yeah, I heard that too.  Quite the spokesman
