Before the game:
  • This week before the game I heard them repeat that MSU has only won 4 of their last 27 P4 games. Minnesota wins.
  • Their kid at QB almost threw 4 int's last week against a terrible team. Our D line will pressure him into making mistakes. Minnesota wins
  • MSU is a bottom tier SEC team and MN is a mid tier BIG 10 team. The B1G is as good or better than the SEC now, so Minnesota will beat the arrogant SEC.
  • MSU may be faster, but people act like there's no speed outside the SEC. Minnesota has better coached players that will make up for the speed difference. Minnesota Wins
After the game:
  • Fire the defensive coordinator
  • This is embarrassing
  • MSU is that much better than us
  • MSU is much better coached than us
  • 13 yards rushing?!!
  • Why can't PJ run a fun to watch offense like MSU?
  • Our D line got handled?!!
  • MN needs to spend more money on NIL

I will give them that. His offense is boring AF. It screams Big 10.

It’s a very nuts and bolts offense that, unless you’ve got studs across the board that can run it, is outdated in his day and age. It was clear to me that they wouldn’t be able to keep it with us in terms of pushing the ball down the field like we do. Wasn’t there.

Even when it was working for them yesterday, I made the comment it was like watching a glacier. If that’s your offense you better win. A lot.
You look at their scores from last year and they squeaked by in most of their games. Play good defense and control the clock. They got torched on defense with an offense not designed to play catchup.

They had the right idea (take the air out of the ball). They didn’t have the execution on offense to make it work.
And that’s the problem. When your offense is 4 yards every play, it takes you 20 plays to score. If you’re not successful on 90% of your plays you’re not going to score much.

How many years have we found ourselves in that exact situation? I know exactly what that feels like!

You left off "Fire PJ Fleck" Read that a lot last night.

He should be fired for what he was wearing yesterday. Not sure what in the hell that get up was but the yellow tie and yellow shoes added a nice touch to it (rolls eyes).
PJ Fleck and the sentiment there actually reminds me a lot of MSU and Mullen. The fans know all of PJ's tendencies, press conference excuses. They are a 7-8 win team in conference each year and wonder if the grass is greener with a different coach. It's nice to be the team that makes them question their coach.

Mullen was always looking for a better deal while he was at MSU.

Losing to State has been the demise of several opposing coaches.

I think we’ve all been there before.
Very true statement / observation.

I can not begin to count the number of times, many, many years ago, that I stayed till the end believing Sherrill / Croom, would find a way to win.

not going to beat up on that kid. I get it

Weren't there posters on here saying they would take PJ Fleck in a heartbeat over Lebby this week, forgive me I'm too lazy to find the post and call them out 😂
Maybe back in 2018, they would have preferred Fleck over Mo’head! But I don’t remember many folk saying they preferred Fleck to Mickey Mouse let alone Lebby!

Many want his style of play as well. Hopefully they've now seen why we went in a different direction. Their qb did better once they started throwing it. We were going in on run so not sure that he is really that 'good'. Hopefully he is and our defense just shut him/ them down.
