Link - Michigan State Did Nothing Right in Capital One Blowout

selected excerpts:

It is hard to pinpoint exactly when this Capital One Bowl started going poorly for Michigan State, but it was probably the moment Alabama defensive end Marcell Dareus was born.

:rofl:

This wasn’t a football game. It was a Three Stooges skit. The Spartans slammed headfirst into frying pans and slipped on banana peels all Saturday afternoon. I got the sense that the Spartans looked at the Crimson Tide and thought, “Wow!” And the Alabama players looked at the Spartans and thought, “Lunch!”

:a:

Cousins checking out of the game with "general ouchiness" was a laugh riot.:bow:

Hell, I felt bad for Cousins to be honest. I played the game, allbeit, on the high school level. There comes a time (even to the opposing athlete on the field) where you almost want to beg the ref or the opposing coach not to let the guy go back in. It's beatdown mode now.

Maybe I'm one of those old school guys who wants to beat and not humiliate my opponent. Kirk Cousins has my respect for going back in time after time, knowing he was going to take a beating.

General ouchiness doesn't even begin to describe what Cousins endured this weekend. It was like shooting fish in a barrel or something. I have some respect for the kid for continuing to go out when he knew what was going to happen.

Great post, Po'chop! I agree totally and can also relate. Cousins showed a lot of character and courage yesterday.

That article is priceless. And so are the comments under it. Most sad Michigan State fans posting were as funny as the article.
