I'll hand it to Forde, it's a creative way to address the subject.

Forde-Yard Dash: Campaigning for and against each one-loss contender

Michigan State (12). Campaign ad: Opens with video of Spartans receiving Rose Bowl trophy amid confetti shower last January. Voice over: Michigan State entered the realm of the elite last season, and it’s there for good now. (Cut to montage of Connor Cook passes and Tony Lippett catches and Jeremy Langford runs.) The new Michigan State has an offense that matches the prowess of its vaunted defense – an offense ranked fifth in the nation in scoring. This is an exciting team that stands out as the clear class of the Big Ten. (Cut to footage of Michigan State taking a nine-point lead at Oregon.) Unlike some other teams in other leagues, the Spartans refused to take the easy road to the playoff. They scheduled the toughest of all non-conference games, and had the lead in the second half. (Cut to close-up of square-jawed and steely-eyed Mark Dantonio, looking especially square-jawed and steely-eyed.) The oldest of all conferences deserves representation in the playoff. Make room for Michigan State.

(Paid for by the owner of the Los Angeles Dodgers.)

Attack ad: Opens with video and audio of Dantonio talking about the “shove-it” touchdown Michigan State scored on Michigan, then cuts to slow-mo video of the late Langford TD run. Voice over: Michigan State unapologetically and shamelessly ran up the score Saturday, inflicting pain and suffering on an outmanned opponent. That’s not the kind of poor sportsmanship the playoff selection committee should be rewarding. (Cut to video of Oregon scoring touchdowns on the Spartans.) The Spartans are trying to divert attention from the fact that they lost handily to their only top-15 opponent. (Cut to video of scoreboard showing Michigan State 73, Eastern Michigan 14.) No amount of piling on against bad teams can erase that defeat at Oregon. (Cut to graphic showing the Big Ten’s modest standing in the Sagarin Ratings.) Don’t let Michigan State trick the committee into believing it belongs. Leave Sparty out of the bracket.

(Paid for by Citizens Against Big Ten Bailouts, Mike Slive treasurer.)

I have faith that if msu wins out, it won't need help to get into the playoff

So its cool that Oregon runs the score up on us, but not that we run the score up on um, by actually running the ball 30 times in the second half and throwing 4 times? Its cool that Baylor scores 87 points on a Texas Tech team and that's not running hte score up. Dantonio consistently takes a knee at the end of games and takes out the starters.

I guess it is supposed to be a best case, worst case scenario, but why don't we hear about TCU running up the score, or Oregon doing the same to us?

The Michigan difference. Having the gall to not just punt it back to them on first down after recovering the onside kick was a slap in the face to all of college football.

Fucktard at work actually was making the point that Hoke was the epitome of class because he apologized for the stake while Dantonio was the worst because he didn't apologize for running up the score.

Me Confused.

Well the wolvies would have won the game if the Spartans hadn't run up the score. What's so confusing about that? Wink

Ask him if Hoke apologized to Miami of Ohio for calling a timeout with 25 seconds left in the game to kick a field goal in order to expand on what was a 21 point lead?
