    Bill Belichick buyout may be happening.

    Ah, the dreaded core of confidence. He's done. Let's be honest: He was never a fit for college. And the only success he had as a HC was with Brady. He was 17ing terrible before and after Brady.

    WMD's Quick Takes

    Tough game, mates. Had a couple quick thoughts I thought I'd share. 1. Our D is vastly improved. We miss Whitson off the edge, though. Not entirely sold on Hutzler, but he's definitely not the incompetent buffoon we thought he was last year. 2. Shapen is a Big 12 QB. Good, not good enough for...

    Soccer @ Missouri

    The Frank Lampard who has sucked everywhere he's been and justifies kicking the hell out of players just because they're better than you? The Frank Lampard who thinks having 17 screws in your hips is some kind of badge of honor and should just be a natural consequence of a soccer career? Yeah...

    Locker Room Issues at Florida…

    They're historically a very middle of the pack program. The success of Spurrier and Urban made everyone think they're some perennial juggernaut and should be competing every year. They've basically reverted back to their historical mean.

    Locker Room Issues at Florida…

    No kidding. Remember Croom saying he recruited Henig because he saw him throw a pick on film then chase down and tackle the DB? By the end of that game I was rooting for Henig to throw pick 7 and break the record. If you're gonna suck that bad, go all out.

    MSU Soccer on ESPNU now...

    Good point. Just grinds my gears that a) Cohen, an MSU alum and supposedly one of us, decided to poach our coach and b) Armstrong jumped so quickly after an historic season and barely even being here for a cup of coffee for a lateral move at best. I'd be more forgiving if it were Florida, a...

    MSU Soccer on ESPNU now...

    We need to beat Auburn's ***. Open a can of whoopass. Stomp a mud hole and walk it dry. 17 Cohen and Armstrong.

    SEC 2026 permanent opponents and schedule rotation

    Northern Miss Bama LSU or TAMU That's the SEC office making sure all the big boys have at least one win on the permanent opponent list. Northern Miss UK Bama/aTm I think something like this is more likely if they're trying to stick to more traditional rivalries. We know they'll keep the...

    Top 5 MSU football heartbreaks.......

    That 2000 Arkansas game was the day the wheels came off and we went soft. Perhaps the most miserable I've ever been at a football game. It was cold and sleeting most of the game. Then Arkansas showed up and physically whipped us. We got several injuries, but the big one was Pig Prather tearing...

    Women's Soccer debutes at #12

    We're a soccer school. I've always said it. šŸ˜‚ For real though, the last couple of years for them have been awesome. I was a little worried when we just promoted from within after Cohen (17 that guy) poached Armstrong (17 him too). But the continuity has been a good thing. The real trick is...

    Chiefs 0-2. What a great feeling.

    Might be the year all the outside distractions (Swift) finally get to them. Plus it's hard for dynasties to keep it going. The Pats had a couple of down seasons with Brady along the way. Sometimes you need to have a down year to force you to refocus. Plus Xavier Worthy is it right now. I had him...

    WMD's State of MSU Football Address, Part II

    Solution Ideas: Ok, fully admit these may or may not work. This is totally a what I'd do/would like to see done/common sense changes section: 1. Call in Brock. Tell him I'm taking back the DC play calls. Have a very honest conversation. Tell him he isn't ready yet, and that's my fault as HC for...

    WMD's State of MSU Football Address, Part 1

    Peeps, been a long time. Posted this over on the other board and decided to share it here too. I'm not going to talk much about any specific observations from yesterday's mauling. This will be a much more high level/overview discussion. Going to dispense with the usual Offense-Defense-ST &...

    Improvement requires honesty.

    It's time for us to look in the mirror and face some harsh realities. Until we do that, nothing is going to change for us. 1. Our athletic department needs an enema, starting with Cohen. Hiring a baseball coach to be AD was always a terrible idea. Power 5 athletic departments are big business...
