Don't you mean "Joey Freshwater?"

Woody Hayes was a god.

Of course, MSU took your balck boys when you refused to play them.

Also, I like MSU +10. What an absurd line.

On paper, looks like this will be a close game. But the big boys from Bama know this scene very well, much better than their counterparts.

Hope I'm wrong, but Tide rolls. 34-17.

I think it's tight going deep into the 3rd, but Bama will wear Sparty down eventually. Connor Cook has to play like a first rounder in order for Sparty to win. He's just to inaccurate though.

27-16 Tide

MSU beat writer saying Cook's shoulder is "better" but still in pain. But, if he's cleared to play then no excuses. Won't be surprised to hear he's getting surgery after the season.

This is pathetic.

Severe SEC bias.

THAT was the number 3 team in the country?

Real hard to play offense when the other team can drop 2 safties back, cover with 5 and get consistent pressure with 4 rushers. It was men against boys out there.

Not shocked Bama won...that defense has gotten stronger as the season went on. They'll send the majority of those starters to the NFL.

I like the title game matchup...still have to like Bama though.

Props to Bama. That was a pretty thorough ass kicking. Not much else to say. Their defense was as good as advertised and prevented MSU from doing anything on the ground or in the air. All in all, it was a great season. Big Ten Champs with wins at the Big House and the Horse Shoe, so I can't complain too much. On to basketball...

Congrats to Alabama and Sam. Enjoy the win and get ready for the big showdown on the 11th. Should be a great title game. None of which compares to the importance of the upcoming Rose Bowl. :)
