2006>>>>>>>>>>>2002
Cal game was probably the worst I've seen
Looking back on 2006 is hilarious now that things have dramatically improved at MSU. Like being down 38-3 to Northwestern and somehow ending up winning.

Michigan State Comeback at Northwestern
Michigan State sets breaks NCAA record for the largesst D1-A comeback, scoring 38 unanswered points in an amazing turnaround.

I'm happy for JLS, but I must say I'm always kind of surprised at the amount of love he seems to get on here.
Besides the BW 2002 season, there was nothing more painful in my sports life than the JLS MSU era.
Posting member of tRCMB since 1997. It is ALWAYS a great day to be a Spartan!!!!

You misread his post, dude.
He said, if JLS had not lost his mind and [instead] continued to hand the ball off to JC we would have dominated.
Now I'm not one to question a coaching genius and someone who could light up a room with a smile and endearing antics so I think Fishrose is dead wrong on this one and want his Spartan card for crossing a legendarily nice fella like JLS but some may argue he is correct (they too should turn in their Spartan card for questioning epically friendly John "Mr. Turnaround" Smith).

IMO Slappy was a good guy. He was in over his head, had a sick wife and had clowns like Turd Ferguson hurting his cause from the start. Still feel he improved things for Coach D compared to what he inherited.
Hope he has a good year.

Jets will use Tim Tebow on the punt team | ProFootballTalk
When the Jets acquired Tim Tebow from Denver, one of the suggestions of ways to use him was to have him play on the punt team as the personal protector. It seems that the Jets are following through on that suggestion.

Leave it to Rexrode to be level-headed:
"Since YouTube clips of some of his fabled MSU moments are now flying around, I'll reiterate what I've said many times about his tenure at MSU: He took a program in absolute disarray after three years of Bobby Williams and did some things to improve it. He nearly broke through a few times -- but didn't, and that's ultimately on him. Still, a pretty good coach who never really connected at MSU in the way he needed to succeed. But Mark Dantonio certainly appreciated the chance to succeed right away with players such as Javon Ringer, Devin Thomas, Jehuu Caulcrick, Brian Hoyer, Otis Wiley, Jonal Saint-Dic, Ervin Baldwin, Pete Clifford, etc."
Also contains a link to an article quoting the Weber State AD, who ise most definitely not happy. And JLS is apparently going from roughly $10K/month (without incentives) to $85K/month. He had just completed his first spring practice with the football team at Weber State.

JLS was a goofball, a square peg in a round hole at MSU. On top of that the state of the administration and athletic department was loosie-goosie and with the exception of Tom Izzo and Basketball, was not "all in" for being a Big Time college sports University. None of this is an excuse for JLS. He was what he was and MSU was what it was - mediocre and rowing in all different directions.
Thankfully we're past that and into a sweet spot where we have a dedication to being a premier football program from the top down. President -> AD -> Dantonio -> Staff -> Players are all in sync. Add Tom Izzo in there as a MAJOR supporting factor and we're sitting pretty damn good right now.
I don't care to hate JLS or be bitter about those years. They sucked, yes. That soaking wet, completely silent bus ride back to the commuter lot in 2006, packed with fellow Spartan fans that could only shake their heads at each other when mutual eye contact was made is something I'll never forget. But the crazy thing is, the fortunes of the last few years and the State of the Spartan Union going forward contrast all that in such a way that looking back, I can actually get a chuckle out of a lot of it. We're done with it, it's in the past. We have a lot of good days ahead. Good luck to JLS, I actually hope he does well for his 10 month reign. It would certainly create a lot of good college football discussion/debate if he did.

You're a fucking idiot. MSU was blowing out Notre Dame for the majority of the game. They had no answer to the Spartan running game, and weren't even in the game until JLS inexplicably decided to start throwing the ball while up 31-14 in the pouring rain. Trusting the game to Drew Stanton's arm in a downpour led directly to three turnovers, two of which resulted in Notre Dame touchdowns, as well as two three-and-outs and two penalty-filled drives resulting in punts. If JLS had decided to work the clock and keep running the ball, MSU would have won by at least 14 points, and probably more.
