I have two simple rules that were easy to follow.
Rule #1, never root for the dux
Rule #2, nothing changes rule #1.
With the carnage our former coach left the program in over the last month, and Mich. St. scheduled to visit the landfill next fall, I am now struggling with rule #2.
Where do you guys stand on this dilemma?
Go Beavs!!
FTd/spartans

Short term, suspend Rule #2. Hope uo crushes MSU for say the next 2-3 years.(along with everyone else on Sparty's schedule)
After a coaching change in East Lansing, go back to re-instating rule #2

I've thought about this at length. I've determined that I cannot ever break rule #1.......so I'm hoping for MSU's only win next season is at the toilet bowl

Lanning is hard not to like. He's a young coach and he makes mistakes. But whenever the question comes up about another school, he says in some words, "no way." That is a trait our former coach did not have.

Where do you guys stand on this dilemma? Go Beavs!! FTd/spartans Why do you have to root for anyone. Just asking.....Some here said that said they would swear to not follow the Big10 football conference at all. Some had their eyes glued to the screen rooting hard for future Big10 member Washington. They forgot about Washington being snotty will stupid court filings. I suspect many here will be reporting with Big10 updates on the Fuskies, ducks and Spartans almost weekly next year. Meanwhile I don't think they will spend as much time doing it the other way. |

Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, and Penn State are everything wrong with college athletics. Washington is awful, but they are not those four universities. Number of times Michigan has come to the Valley to play Oregon State? Zero. Number of times Washington came to the Valley to play Oregon State? 47. I want Washington to break Michigan, crush 'em. Destroy the Wolverines. Never rebuild; never be this close ever again. Plus, 75 years from now, I want to say that in 2023 Oregon State pushed this Washington team more than any other team pushed 'em, not Oregon, not Texas, and not Michigan. Oregon State pushed 'em to the brink, and the Huskies barely escaped. |

That is a trait our former coach did not have. Well, we have no idea what the O coach would do if his situation included: Not having a for sure conference affiliation for the upcoming season An actual schedule, with no guarantee "IF" one emerges in future it will include Power 5 games No guarantee team will keep it's Power 5 status and eligibility for championship/playoff Definitely no chance at a Conference Championship game or regulars season title in foreseeable future At the time, no truthful way to promise current players, assistants, and recruiting prospects everything will be ok. It was not known and given the court battle at the time, the only certainty was an uncertain future in almost all imaginable facets.
I'm not going to convince or even try to convince anyone who's written JS off, to change their mind. I will repeat the facts and circumstances however which preceded his decision as it stands to reason, at least in my view, he's still be here and happy to be here if he thought he could continue to build upon the solid foundation he created. Things look somewhat better now, with a few questions answered, but a couple months back that was far from the case. All this to say, I'd rather spit repeatedly into a head wind than root for the dirty, rotten, college football wrecking, entity south of Corvallis |

That is a trait our former coach did not have. The kick in the dick for all of us is the Oregon coach showing the love and loyalty to his program the alumni hero QB of Oregon State didn't show us. It is hard to not like Lanning, given how human he is. Kind of a goober, but a good coach and appears to have his priorities established. Like Erickson lamented for a long time, the grass isn't always greener. Something tells me Smith is going to learn that one the hard way. |

There's not a lot of places that have more grass than Oregon........both kinds. |

Oregon State pushed 'em to the brink, and the Huskies barely escaped. Really? I'm rooting for Michigan to win it and then immediately crumble into a third tier program that loses every year to people like Rutgers and Maryland. UW taking the lead in being incredible jerks during the Pac-12 breakdown (including nixing the Apple deal and trying to hoist all the coins they could into their filthy pants on the way out) just blew it for me. I wish I could root for the huskies as the last year of the Pac-12 but, nope, can't do it. And yes, I think in retrospect, OSU did a pretty good job against the huskies. If only everyone on or part of the team were committed to success, imagine what we could have done! |
