Thank goodness it is basketball and hockey season. At least we have consistent winners in men's and women's hoops, and on the ice.
Dantonio just gave us the second greatest 3 year run in Spartan History. MSU has not won 7 games three years in a row since Duffy in 1955-57. Not even Perles could win 7 three years in a row. The ceiling for us is to go 6-6 or 7-5 every year. That is what the administation wants because the only alternative is to fall out of Mediocrity and go 4-8 and 3-9. Joe said a South Bend writer indicates Notre Dame may go after Dantonio to replace Charlie Weiss due to our three bowls in a row. Hollis may lock Dantonio up with a 10 year extension to keep Notre Dame away.
ReplyDeleteEmbrace Mediocrity, Celebrate it,
Dantonio stated his goals for the program . He wants to go 7-5 stay in the mix and than once in a blue moon when everything comes together shoot for third place.
