Bret Bielema reviews game film

Well kids, we've reached the end of the Yellow Brick Road and arrived at Emerald City, also known as Indianapolis. Along the way, Wisconsin and Michigan State have had to face and overcome all kinds of obstacles short of flying monkeys to get here.

Speaking of which, did those flying Monkeys from The Wizard Of Oz scare the holy hell out of you when you were a kid as much as they did to me? I mean man, talk about nightmare inducing memories...kind of like last minute Hail Marys *coughWisconsincough* or Rex Burkhead *coughSpartycough*.

But just like Dorothy and her gang of flawed lieutenants, MSU and Wisconsin persevered and are now just a visit from the Wizard before they are declared whole and awarded a Rose Bowl. For MSU, they need to do what they did in the first game, except do it for a full 60 minutes, not 55. Keep the Badgers offense off the field and off balance, and put the game on the broad shoulders of Kirk Cousins and the rest of an experienced senior class.

For Wisconsin, revenge has to be coming in to play here. You have to wonder if they pull out the MSU game, do they repeat the relatively listless performance against OSU, or do they put their foot on the gas, take care of business and roll to the cusp of the BCS title game? We'll never know, but it's an interesting question.

I predicting an MSU win, 27-24. Either way, I really don't see a blowout, like some folks are calling. These are two very good football teams that have earned their division titles and subsequent berth in this inaugural game. These are the two best teams in what will always be the best conference, and this is great for the Big Ten and her legion of fans.

But the time for talk has ended. It's almost game time. Although only one can win, good luck to both teams; may you both play your best and not get any injuries.

We've got this thread going up a little early, as there's plenty of football on today and tonight. Feel free to talk about the MACtion from last night's thrilling MAC championship game, or UCLA hanging around longer than I thought they would against Oregon. The SEC championship game should be underway, and the B1G championship game will be playing opposite the Oklahoma-Oklahoma State Bedlam game, which is the defacto Big XII championship game, and Va Tech will be playing Clemson in the ACC championship game.

Insert FUCK CLEMSON here.

If you're new here, welcome. We've only got a couple rules, so consider this our legal disclaimer. We have a pretty hefty legal department here at OTE, so don't cross us on this: No racism, sexism, homophobia, pornography, personal attacks, politics, religion, or illegal Internet streams of any of the games.

Red_brick_road_medium

Seriously, where the hell does the red brick road go?

Speaking of the lawyers and the Wizard of Oz, they're in the other room discussing where the Red Brick Road would've taken Dorothy. Some think Lincoln, Bama is insistent upon Tuscaloosa, Hilary is making a persuasive case for Madison and has baffles to get people to her point of view, and Jon is the lone Columbus holdout. Graham, Hilary, Chad, Paterno Ave. and Bama Hawkeye counter that there were no tattoos in Oz, so his theory can't work.

Jon counters that it leads to Urban Meyer's House.

/drops mic, walks off

Jon wins.

Enjoy the games, everyone!

There won’t be a team from a non-AQ conference in the Top 6. Houston’s win would have assured them of that, if I’m reading things right.

Poll:

If OkSt beats Oklahoma by a sizable margin (13 points or so), do they jump Bama? I say no, sadly. (Which is a shame: just a quick look at the schedules shows OkSt is more deserving.)

But it sure applied to Michigan just five short years ago.

And I keep hearing down here that the distinction revolves around Florida having had and having converted an opportunity for a high-quality win to finish out the season. I believe a two touchdown victory over Oklahoma would count as just such a win for the Cowboys.

Maybe this will be the year the SEC jumps the shark

There’s no denying that LSU is the best team in the country. I cede that; they just look impressive as hell. But the thing that burns me is that in 2006, OSU-UM were considered the two best teams in the country after their game, and the SEC pissed and bitched and moaned until Florida leaped UM.

If Ok State beats Okalhoma by a decent amount, if I’m Mike Gundy I’m going all Urban Cryer in 2006 and use 2006 as the precedent that there should be no rematch.

I don’t know if it’ll work, but damn, I don’t think anyone really wants to see a rematch, except the SEC.

I'll admit hypocrisy on this because I distinctly remember the whole talk leading up to OSU-UM in 2006

There was damn near a unanimous feeling that even if it was a close game, there should be no rematch. But then it was an all time GREAT game, and I think it was kirk Herbstreit, who was calling the game for ABC, said towards the end something to the effect that he had been against a rematch prior, but was in favor of it in light of the competitiveness of the game.

And that became the prevailing opinion of a fair amount of voters and scribes in the aftermath, but Urban Meyer and Lloyd Carr chose to take two different paths.

I think they were on back to back on a Sports Center segment one night, and when asked if there should be a rematch, Carr was nothing but 100% class. He said something to the effect that he’d leave it up to the voters, and that he thought they had played in a great contest, and was proud of what his team had accomplished, something to that effect.

Meyer was next and whined like a little girl that Florida should get a chance and that there should be no rematch and blah blah blah. I knew as soon as that segment was over Michigan was screwed, all because Lloyd chose to take the high road.

Now that he’s OSU’s coach, if he did that, I’d love it, and I would deride any one of you bastards that would dare call St. Urban ‘Urban Cryer’. Just wanted to make that clear.

Wrong on all counts

People weren’t saying WI would blow out MSU, but Sparty Nation defended against that argument anyway.

MSU’s first win was a fluke because it came on a hail mary. It doesn’t mean them being competitive in the game was a fluke. Everyone but Sparty fans understood that.

Only Sparty fans would think losing the CCG shows they should have won it. It’s easier to argue that it showed WI should have won twice, since the second game was at a neutral site and there wasn’t a huge imbalance in penalties.

by br27 on Dec 3, 2011 11:48 PM CST up reply actions  

I misspoke.

I didn’t mean to imply that Wisconsin DIDN’T deserve it, but more along the lines that Michigan State played plenty well enough to win that football game.

And also: bullshit. You can’t just change the argument and say, “only State fans thought people were calling it a blowout.” Everyone here said it was going to be. The line was 9.5 for fuck’s sake.

by The Birchman on Dec 3, 2011 11:50 PM CST up reply actions  

I don't think any of us set the lines

That’s Vegas balancing the bets. Who on here said it would be a blowout? All I ever saw were predictions of WI winning, not of a blowout.

MSU was good enough to win both games, and so was WI. MSU played well enough to win both games. They also played poorly enough to lose both games.

Both teams were roughly equal, which is what most people said. We just generally thought WI had a slight edge.

::shrug::

I don’t remember where the posts were, but I’d argue that 75% of the people I talked to said it’d be Wisconsin easily (not necessarily on this board, but still — I should’ve clarified).

Both teams are the class of the Big Ten and all these games have done is proved that they’re equal. Wisconsin did what they had to to win the one that counted for more. No one can say they don’t deserve the Rose Bowl. But Michigan State deserved (and maybe earned now?) a lot more respect than they’ve been getting.

by The Birchman on Dec 4, 2011 12:22 AM CST up reply actions  

fair enough

I won’t vouch for the rest of the internet. Maybe people elsewhere were saying that. I just don’t recall seeing it on here.

The problem with earning respect this year is everybody knows the kings were down. MSU needs several wins over truly top 10 teams, OOC, in conference or in bowls. MSU is definitely improving, and earning more respect than they had, but they need elite wins to earn the level of respect Spartan fans seem to want. When was their last truly elite win? WI this year is the best win in 5 years probably, and WI won the rematch.

by br27 on Dec 4, 2011 12:42 AM CST up reply actions  

They beat Wisconsin's Rose Bowl team soundly last year.

That should be up there.

But honestly, what other games did they lose against big opponents that would have been elite victories? Aside from bowl games that is. I mean, they beat the B1G teams they play for the most part.

It can’t be State’s fault that the conference is down.

by The Birchman on Dec 4, 2011 12:56 AM CST up reply actions  

Or maybe this was your point?

That, with the conference being down, there’s nothing State can really do about the reputation that they haven’t already?

by The Birchman on Dec 4, 2011 12:58 AM CST up reply actions  

That was part of my point

They need to beat an elite team, and they haven’t. AL crushed them and they haven’t had an elite OOC opponent in a while.

Winning some bowl games would be a good start. Winning in Ann Arbor or Columbus or Happy Valley or Lincoln against a truly top 5 team would help, but those other teams have to get back to that level.

You’re arguing that this game proves the first one WASN’T a fluke? Because State “played the better by and large” but had penalties called on them?

My apologies for thinking that’s one of the most illogical things I think I’ve ever read.

7 penalties for 50 yards is a GIANT difference from 0 penalties for 0 yards.

That’s exactly like saying, “Well, if Wisconsin had run the ball for like 50 fewer yards, the game would have been WAY different.”

Michigan State didn’t get penalized because they were good enough to not do anything illegal over the course of the game.

Oh my god, this is comical

I’ve seen that play 4 times now and Montee Ball lowered his shoulder and lead with his head. A player drilled him.

It’s unfortunate he got hurt, but it’s absolutely fucking ridiculous to insinuate anything about that play was deliberate. It’s downright silly.

YES IT IS

Especially when said team does this:

The Badgers had six (tying a season high) and the Spartans had none, obviously a season low (despite an obvious false start not called on MSU’s late third-down play).

In fact – and I guess I write this just to infuriate the Badgers fan base – Michigan State averaged 7.5 penalties in its other Big Ten games (6-13-9-5-7-5-8). If MSU trends back toward the norm this game, it could be an X factor.

... This argument is ridiculous. Seriously.

You’re implying that, just because a team tends to get penalized a lot, and then doesn’t in a game, they’re really lucky?

Hell, I could argue, in that same game, a second intentional grounding was missed on Wilson, and during the last two drives, Wisconsin got away with 3 or 4 holds. That’s a GIANT difference.

by The Birchman on Dec 3, 2011 11:59 PM CST up reply actions  

Yeah.

You could, and you’d be horribly wrong. How is this argument ridiculous? MSU got away with everything the last time around, this time, they were nailed for penalties.

You’re right. They all went to State, I forgot.

And you’re seriously just making the same stupid argument over and over again and there is one play (the false start) that was probably missed.

He made it look worse than it was, but any contact at all is cause for a penalty. MSU was dumb to rush the punt and even dumber to give the ref a chance to throw the flag. That’s bad coaching and bad execution. A legitimate penalty late in the game is not a “BS way to win” unless you said the same thing about OSU’s national title. WI was the better team tonight and that’s all that matters.
