Totally classless move by Michigan

I feel sorry for the numerous people who have been victimized at Michigan state
MSU should have made a statement something like this:
"the third-party service company responsible for this content will be immediately dismissed".
They really hate each other. I have no doubt MSU would do the same, or more since they've done much worse over the years in the rivalry and Michigan fans are probably insufferable to them.
Would it help to justify it in your mind if you knew the only reason the play on which Michigan scored that last TD even existed was because the 4th down “game over” run that preceded it gave Michigan a first down because of a late-hit cheap shot by a MSU defender (the second of the half, the first of which resulted in an automatic ejection when the MSU player shoved a Michigan defender to the ground after the play was over, and subsequently proceeded to spear the back of his neck/helmet as he laid on the ground)?
MSU got exactly what they deserved. You notice we didn’t try to score late against Rutgers, who played a tough and honorable game.
Harbaugh may be a jerk, but he and his players remember the end of last year's game, in which MSU players ambushed a number of UM players in the tunnel and beat them with their helmets. One UM player suffered a concussion, and several others suffered big time beatings. You don't think Harbaugh and his team weren't looking to put put up as many points as possible?
lol. With their 4th string QB, Michigan ran a QB keeper about 5 times in the final drive, and Michigan State couldn't stop it. There is nothing to "justify".
Yeah I’m on Michigan’s side in this one (that’s really hard to type). MSU deserved that, and then some.
Seeing the MSU cheap shot, I would have put the first team in and ran whatever I wanted. And I hate Michigan but MSU has quickly sunk as low or lower
Yes we did. Up 45-3 against Wagner, RU scored with 13 seconds remaining in the game. The guys at the gym on Monday morning were busting my balls about Schiano being classless for not taking a knee.
In a game against a paid team like Wagner- you are playing for reps. 3rd string plyers in and getting game reps. This is what Wagner is specifically paid to be. Complete different scenario
A lot higher.
I want to hate PSU the most, but MSU is really giving them a run for their money.
I'll never forget that and I'm sure Schiano remembers as well . One day that will be avenged.
Greg is never going to avenge Ash...Doesn't make any sense. I hate JH- thus my hatred of Michigan. But if we are up by 50- Greg will have the 3rd string players playing normal reps and if they score, they score and then you go for 1.
Going for 2 with a 50 pt lead does bother m but a 3rd string making a play, not at all.
And after last year's lockerroom and the kid with as dirty a play as I have seen since Maryland on Vedral- anything Mich did to MSU was fair game.
I have been on both sides of a blowout. The only thing I ever get annoyed with (at any level of sports) is leaving starters in during a blowout. I do not like putting athletes at injury risk for no reason.
At the rate that school is going i actually think I’d root for Penn State over MSU. That school and their fans are as culty and bad as PSU but in a vacuum actually worse. And tbeir football players beat up a Michigan guy in the locker room last year. Harbo is a jerk and does run up the score but in this case I support it and wish he scored 100 on them
So- back when our son was playing. He RS'd in 05 and was a backup in 06 and 1/2 of 07. In those backup games- if we had a big lead- we would always be yelling down to Greg to put the backups in...in 08/09 when he started every game - when we had a good lead, we were screaming down to Greg to pull the starters. lol There were a couple of games with big leads and he was still in and had gone down on the field. Never something serious but always pissed us off that he just never should have been in there still.
And you are right- about keeping them in during blowouts- we have seen those too many times- and too often, I have seen some of our B1G friends still with a starting QB in way past a blowout mid to late 4th qtr
If Greg is around he will. Think he went after Louisville when we scored 63 points on them in 08
The previous year- we were up 21-3 and 28-10 and lost the game. So, in 2008- we went up 49-0 at halftime. And we just didn't let off the gas pedal prior to the half even when the game was out of control...but, in the 2nd half- dialed it was down. We could have won that game 80+ if we wanted to
