And now.. Sadness...

It is with great sadness that I report.. we lost.. .AGAIN… this time to the Cheese Heads…

Utmost Importance:  We can’t get down on the team.. the program must still have our support if we are ever to rise from the Smith abyss of mediocrity… ..The media and fans have to stay behind the team…

After losing to the Badgers 30 – 38.    Its not to the level of slitting your wrists...yet. But, the Spartans are  1 – 3 so far…  Good news.. we're only 0 - 1 in conference play....  

All games have been close.. they continue to battle back.. but that, and a kick in the pants gets you a sore ass. Its still an "L"....

Did we jinx them by being so exuberant… Did the earth stop spinning…  Whats going on ???.. it’s a got to be a team Funk…  They need to get out of it now..   

But, Now is not the time to get down on the Spartans… This is not the week to for Chicken little....

The Two turn overs in the first half sort of sunk the Spartans.. Both QBs tossed the ball away.    But adding 1 int and 1 fumble in the second half, ending up with a total of 4 turn overs doesn't help the cause...

Spartans had only 6 plays in the Wisconsin half of the field the first two quarters.  Yes, there were some sound plays for the Spartans, but inconsistency and tentativeness ruled the day. Why.. Why .. ?    Are there injuries we aren’t aware of.. The Offense did better the second half, but, it wasn’t enough.

Spartans did hang 30 points on them… but the “D”, who SpartyMSU thought was a Bad-Ass Defense.. is in need of some help… Except for Jones.. he still is the Stud.

Holy Crap, Insult to Injury...  the dicks from AnnArbor come to town next week.  Got to pull our shit in to one sock, and prepare for the next game fellas….  The Oct. 3 game just got more important than I thought it would be…

I need some time to let this whole thing settle.. More tomorrow… after I can choke this 1 -3 record down… I'll be posting more on the game...  and the upcoming HATE Michigan week...

Talk to you tomorrow...

Sparty On !!!
