[QUOTE="ChiefGritty, post: 1811054, member: 746137"] 1. Sparty and Nebraska aren't the two best teams we've played this year, but they're the two most talented and that was easy to see in the trenches. 2. The noise around the MSU suspension incident and the weather were two big challenges for this game. One of the two teams handled them, one didn't. Not much more to the story than that really. 3. We were awful in this game, deserved to lose, and would look ridiculous complaining. That said, MSU negated the personnel crisis their violent felonies generated by fake injuries they were barely even pretending with. The rule COULD be that you have to sit out the series if you require assistance getting off the field. No sympathy for us whatsoever, but should a defense be able to do that? 4. JB Pritzker owes me a bunch of money for the silly rule that in-state college games still can't be bet on. As I said in the pregame thread, the line was absurd, 10 points off. It was obvious the suspensions would be of a limited impact and that we were ill-suited to take maximum advantage. 5. A desperately needed injection of credibility for Mel Tucker may prove to be so much more costly to us than any current season consequences of this loss. That was a life preserver for that program. 6. Lol how on earth did Chase Brown still manage 136 yards in that game? 7. We've been so damn lucky this year across so many dimensions. It's been coming. 8. Win 9. The 10. West [/QUOTE]
