I see the line is Buckeyes by 22 1/2 over Spartans.

One good season and a 10 year $95M contract? Nice.

It’s a crazy world.  As much as I’m enjoying the success of The Spartans under Mel Tucker, something is wrong about his salary at the same time the university cuts swimming and diving.

Mel Tucker is a good coach and will be fine.  Worked with Jim Tressel @ OSU and knows the game..  MSU is coming to play so I'm looking forward to a great game.  Weather won't be too bad in the Shoe so it's goin down sports fans.  On any given day.

 

College Game day in the morning then a noon  kick on ABC.  Should be a great ball game! 

 

Game at a time & GO BUCKS!

The insulated world of academia has been going off the rails for years. FB/BB coaches are generally the highest paid state employees. Most schools have/are becoming easy landing spots for tenured leftist professors at the tax payers expense. Football/basketball programs played with “the student athlete” are nothing more than profit centers = NFL/NBA lite -

Big time D1 College football and basketball draw in huge amounts of money for the university. I thought some of that money was used to finance minor sports such as swimming and diving

[Dave1291]

You guys HAD to push that button with me didn't you?  OSU announced yesterday that NEXT season's football season tickets go on sale next week.  That was the same day AFTER they announced a decrease in ticket prices next year.  It's ALL about the money now and they could care less about alum's.  Drive them out and they can raise the prices once again.  It's going to get much worse down the road w/the Pay for Play garbage.  Can't wait til it's PPV, which is what ESPN wants.  So there ya go!

"Leftist"?  I think you need to do a bit of research and perhaps adjust your commentary.  "Tax payers expense"?  I didn't see any tax payer money when I was sending several hundred thousand dollars to have my daughter get her doctorate in Pharmacy.

Hey Jimbo

 

UM...er...I mean....MU is looking good this year!

This may be the year they beat OSU.

She going for a Pharm D or PHD?

Congrats either way

Nor did I when my daughter worked her way through the Masters program on way to becoming a nurse practitioner. Incurred zero debt by working in the sponsoring hospital for the required three years after graduation. 
And I’m not sure what “tenured professors” and “tax payers expense” has anything to do with your daughters education and subsequent success.  Me thinks the term “leftest” was the trigger for the out of context reply - 

 

[jimjimbo]

Apparently you don't know the meaning of context.

James Franklin gets paid more than Ryan Day and deservedly so after calling plays like this.

Ya think?  Lol.  At least you got more than a one word reply.

[Dave1291]

Funny tonight listening to all the wacko's talking about how OSU is gonna walk all over MSU.  They forgot about this one already.  On ANY given day!

Purdue pulled down Sparty’s pants.  The Buckeyes were watching.  This is painful to watch.  Prostrate surgery was more fun.
