MSU Red Cedar Message Board

I'd honestly rather have Slappy running our program again than bulimbecile. Personal animosity aside, the guy is a TERRIBLE game coach.

Include my personal dislike for him as a (failure of a) human being, and I'd rather have a bucket of warm spit.

I'm a Wisky fan, so take this with a grain of salt if you will: I think one of the more important aspects of BB's recent success that is often overlooked is the type of kid he recruits. Given that the program isn't sexy enough to draw 5-star prima donnas, he's obviously had to focus on finding diamond-in-the-rough types. But beyond that, he's done a great job of finding undervalued kids who also are willing to buy into program, work hard, stay eligible and stay out of trouble (knock on wood; cue recent Montee Ball shenanigans). In short, good kids, bright kids, hard working kids. Say what you want about him being numbskull, the kids in the program have largely represented the university very well. I think the recent success of the program has hinged, by in large, on having a bunch of lunch pail kids all on the same page, all working toward a common goal. Blah blah blah. Sounds trite, but it's something I give BB a ton of credit for.

Almost as important as Chryst was Bostad (left for Pitt briefly and now with the Bucs in the NFL). He'd been the OL coach and running game coordinator since 2006.

MSU recruits similar guys. You have a guy like Gholston, arguably the biggest "name" on D in the conference this year talking about how the spring and summer is the real season, and the fall is an exhibition to show off how hard you worked in the offseason. When you do have a 5-star stud player buy in to a hard-working philosophy, the rest of the program follows suit.

Got a lot of respect for BB as a program guy, but he's made multiple questionable calls in UW's biggest games that cost him W's, including the last 2 Rose Bowls.

BB is an idiot. has brass balls.

Sorry! For all intends and porpoises, I didn't know the grimmer police were working overtime here. I'll double check my work more carefully next time, so as not to offend.
