MSU Red Cedar Message Board

Honestly who don't you like in this years recruiting class?

Reschke- stud. Looks alot like Max.
Holmes- stud. Could end up better than Bell.
Shelton- stud. Playmaker.
Harris- another playmaker. tons of speed and balance.
Terry- stud. Look at his fucking stats!
Williams- stud. Can play anywhere.
Hicks- stud. Plan A target since day 1.
Finley- stud. Opened up Cass Tech. Had offers from OSU, Wisconsin. He was arguably best OL at many of the camps.
Salmon- raw but explosive. Same thing they said about Jerel out of HS.
Cooper- stud. Owned many of the top OL guys at camp.
Jones- stud. Absolute beast at OLB. without questions going to be a starter on this D in a few years.
Powell- stud. Playmaker. Most underrated guy in our class.
Kilgore- good hands and frame. Could develop into the possession receiver this team needs.
Chmura- don't know yet. Injured alot. But he has the potential.

There are a few needs that we have to fill. We need to get another OL and DL guy...But you can't tell me the guys we have in the fold are not good gets.

Look at the 14 class- all our commits are top guys. You know Harris is just going to poop on whoever tries to cover him. Another Bullough another guy from Cass with a lot of speed.

Your gloom and doom suggests that you haven't been following recruiting as closely as a tanfan should

um and OSU will NEVER be in the same division. It's ALL about sending one of those 2 teams to the NC game as far a Delaney is concerned. He wants the CCG to be um vs OSU every frickin' year, or he wants one of those 2 teams to be a 2nd place team in their division so they can jump the loser of the CCG and get the BCS bowl. That's god's plan.

Like someone said, it's amazing it has come down to this.

Minnesota has beaten us a lot more than I would like to think about in my lifetime. On the road with our O (which can't score at home), I'm definitely worried, but I am giving this team my one last vote of confidence for the year. I say we likely win. Minny doesn't do anything too scary on offense right now and their D isn't that great. Plus I'm hoping MSU will play with some fire and have some pride. You might say this is more optimism than realism but I'm thinking we can get this done.

I would like to think MSU 24, Minny 14... but it depends on how deflated this team is (if so). Thanks to the lack of bowl eligible teams in the Big Ten, a win here means BWW bowl.

Rexrode hinted at the UM/OSU thing in his weekly chat. The PSU scandal has the Big 10 rethinking the division allignment with the idea of maintaining competitive balance. PSU is really going to dive as a program soon as the sanctins and schollie limits take full effect. Not sure if the league wants back to back UM/OSU games which could happen the way the divisions are set now and those 2 playing final Sat. If they are going to be in opposite divisions then their rivalry game should be moved up in the season.

Sadly, I'm close to that.

I do care, and I will always watch, but this team is the SOS. What sucks is they have the talent to be better, but aren't.

With a soft schedule again the next 2 years (like we had last year), I expect a much better on paper performance. Depending on how it plays out, we might look OK in a bowl, as long as we underachieve in the regular season. If we overachieve, we'll get crushed in a good bowl.

SCum and OSU will be in the same division with the next realignment. I can't see it being possible having them in opposite sides without making Nebraska go into an eastern division. OSU, UM, PSU, Rut, MD, IU, Pur, in the East. Neb, Wisc, MSU, Iowa, NW, Illinois, Minn in the West.

Makes total sense and it seems like the obvious move. Then you can add UNC to the east and Kansas to the west when they come in. Delaney being a UNC alum and former Bball player could usher that move in as the ACC is going through massive change. Under that arrangement the B1G would become THE basketball conference that no one could match.

FSU is looking to get out of the ACC and Clemson might be the other school the SEC may try to poach. The ACC will start to look like the old BE if they lost Maryland, Clemson, FSU and UNC.

2014 needs to get moving? Pretty sure it's our best start under dantonio so far. Relax dude

All you can do is sigh and then laugh.

I think/hope this team comes out fired up. I'm sure they don't want to be the ones who break the bowl streak.

21 - 17, MSU.

I think for once we put it all together and get out of Minny with a resounding...10 point victory. We'll be up 16-13 and score a TD with 2 minutes left. Maxwell to Burbridge.
