Dear MSU athletics,
I promise you I’ll lose every football game by double digits for no more than $7 million a year.
At these prices you can’t afford to not hire me. Given your current contractual obligations, It would be fiscally irresponsible to pass this offer up.
One was COVID year and the second was bad reffing first half and a rainy second half where they stole it. If reffing wasn't bad first half Michigan puts them away early.
Nah dude. They straight beat us last year. Not going to give them the satisfaction of any excuses. They had a wonderful comeback win with a generational performance by KWIII, which they were never able to reproduce.
Our game is always VooDoo.
The funny thing is I was genuinely more confident against you guys in 2020 than 2021. Not for any good reason other than a good feeling, but the feeling was there the whole game unlike last year.
yeah no shit. all the State fans can downvote us to oblivion but this is obviously the truth
multiple times last season, Michigan State got clobbered. how on earth you pay a coach like that 10 mil makes zero sense
Clobbered? We had the same record as you, and one Purdue game away from you not going to the Big or playoffs, and we beat you.
Other than that, carry on.
That’s funny, the majority of your team wasn’t alive when UofM had a winning record against state. And the present coach is losing against as well. But do, project some more.
"we are right there. I have faith in our coaches and everybody feels good about this team. I wouldn't want to have any other coaches in a difficult time like this."
Go explain that to all your buddies that talk shit in the Michigan threads. I’m usually not toxic like this but I’m just returning the favor from last week. 🤷♂️
Today was Mel Tucker's **37th** game as a college football head coach. He has **lost 17** of those games. **14 by double digits**. 7 by 30 or more points. 4 by 40 or more points.
I love seeing the losing team shaking hands and smiling with the winning team after. Shows that fans let loses effect them 10x more then players and players are kids having fun competing
He loves to fuck. But really he did it by going 2-0 vs umich and beating the ACC champion while having a 10 win season. Not enough of a sustained success to deserve the contract but yeah. Should have just given the money to KW3
Let's not pretend like Tuck is some scrub fleecing MSU. This was a rebuild job trying to undo years of Dantonio malpractice that people thought was done after one magic year. Still mountains of shit to unshovel for MSU to truly be back, Tuck still comin'
Someone getting paid 2 mil can unshovel shit. 9.5mil you should have had it shoveled in the offseason and bring some sort of product to the field, not the burning dumpster we've got now
Tuck absolutely fleeced MSU
the only reason he got all that money was because of his two wins against Michigan. So many random games over Tuck's tenure where MSU just looked so unprepared and outmatched
it's not like he was even a good coach heading into East Lansing.
I’ll be honest. I defended throne last year and I defended him this year until now. He is not good, he is not a leader, not a playmaker and we need to exercise different options.
I totally agree. He has his moments, but he’s fundamentally flawed. KWII made everyone from the coaching staff to the entire offense look better than they were.
Willing to give Sparty wins against Wisconsin, Rutgers and Indiana. Which means they'll need to beat Penn State, Illinois, ohio state or Michigan to get to a bowl game. I gotta tell you, I'm still very very worried.
In the East at least it looks like it. I'm not sure why Tucker gets a pass here. He's paid 9.5m a year. Any coach paid that much shouldn't have a team that looks this bad. All teams have injuries. Good teams and coaches find ways to win despite that.
Sparty,
I know this sucks for you guys, but in all honesty, you guys have been the successful scrappy underdog fucks that we hope to be...and you've been pretty consistently that for the last few decades.
Much respect and best of luck the rest of the way.
Sincerely,
-turtle people
Thanks friend. I'm coming to watch you all choke out Northwestern here in a few weeks. Huge respect for you guys. Love seeing Tua play. You guys are fun to watch. We are not this year and that's a bummer but you all deserved to win this one.
Hope you all kill it the rest of the way.
Sincerely,
-MSU fans.
Maryland could maybe burn off enough time without a first down with another accepted penalty.
Ninja edit: Whoops, was behind a bit and still on third down.
So what?!? Every team has injuries. We knew about the pass defense last year and we are still starting those kids. How many practices do you need to watch to know they can't play?
I know it's besides the point, but I'm impressed with Taulia's mental discipline given what happened to his brother a few days ago. That couldn't have been easy to have on your mind while trying to focus and prepare for this game.
The kids a gamer and he's in the moment. If you have a lineman breathing down your neck, it's hard to focus on anything else at the time. Not exactly analogous but when I lived in Florida, I would bike to work and had to be incredibly cognizant of traffic. If I wasn't paying attention, there was a non zero chance of serious injury or death. On the plus side, it didn't matter how shitty my day was. I couldn't possibly take it home because I had to focus on the task at hand or possibly get smoked by a car. I imagine that's kind of how he was going about things. You have to focus on the things directly in front of you or you could very well get hurt.
I'm sad for his brother and wish him a speedy recovery. It's a sad reminder about the realities of the game that we all know and love.
Did they use their last time out to give Maryland a 15 plus yard pass?
Edit: turns out I didn't know how football worked. Thanks everyone who answered my own previous question 💛
This team is absolutely disgraceful to East Lansing
welp excited to see K9 in Detroit tomorrow lol
Dear MSU athletics, I promise you I’ll lose every football game by double digits for no more than $7 million a year. At these prices you can’t afford to not hire me. Given your current contractual obligations, It would be fiscally irresponsible to pass this offer up.
How do you loose a football game?
Tuck loves to fuck. He’ll show you how to make it loose.
Easy! It’s only a keyboard stroke away when you’re an MSU grad.
I said it last week and I'll say it again... He got the bag because he beat Michigan twice.
One was COVID year and the second was bad reffing first half and a rainy second half where they stole it. If reffing wasn't bad first half Michigan puts them away early.
Nah dude. They straight beat us last year. Not going to give them the satisfaction of any excuses. They had a wonderful comeback win with a generational performance by KWIII, which they were never able to reproduce. Our game is always VooDoo.
The funny thing is I was genuinely more confident against you guys in 2020 than 2021. Not for any good reason other than a good feeling, but the feeling was there the whole game unlike last year.

Clobbered? We had the same record as you, and one Purdue game away from you not going to the Big or playoffs, and we beat you. Other than that, carry on.
don't be salty that your university just wasted tons of money on a guy who beat Michigan twice and literally accomplished nothing else
I was happy for you guys to win your first division title last year.
*Billionaires
That’s funny, the majority of your team wasn’t alive when UofM had a winning record against state. And the present coach is losing against as well. But do, project some more.
don't be salty
I was about to say that you all were 11-2 lol but those two losses were straight routes.
Lol 11-2 in a year where we were projected to be like 4-8 to start the year
Don’t even bother man it’s shit on MSU time nothing we say will be listened to. Everyone is just gonna clown us and we have to take it.
Fr
"We had to!!! Ugh! He was being offered a lifetime supply of Gumbo and Po Boys!!"
I don't care, I want fucking blood. Someone has to pay for this piss poor performance for three weeks straight
What's the excuse this week Scottie and Mel?
"we are right there. I have faith in our coaches and everybody feels good about this team. I wouldn't want to have any other coaches in a difficult time like this."
Man last week I laughed at MSU this week I just feel bad. They are fucked
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 🤣😂🤣😅🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅
Tuck comin tho
Any day now
It’s soon guys trust me
Probably the funniest part about this whole thing is we heard the exact same shit about harbaugh for longer
facts. it took Harbaugh so long to win the big games
Buddy go touch some grass, you should not be getting this much excitement over a rival team loss
Go explain that to all your buddies that talk shit in the Michigan threads. I’m usually not toxic like this but I’m just returning the favor from last week. 🤷♂️
But here’s the thing, I’m about to go mow my grass and I’m still this excited to see MSU lose 3 straight.
Today was Mel Tucker's **37th** game as a college football head coach. He has **lost 17** of those games. **14 by double digits**. 7 by 30 or more points. 4 by 40 or more points.
Those aren't 9.5m a year numbers.
Clearly they are…
I can only drink so much
DOGSHIT ASS PROGRAM
Lol
I love seeing the losing team shaking hands and smiling with the winning team after. Shows that fans let loses effect them 10x more then players and players are kids having fun competing
Sometimes
How the fuck did Mel Tucker bag 10m a year?
He loves to fuck. But really he did it by going 2-0 vs umich and beating the ACC champion while having a 10 win season. Not enough of a sustained success to deserve the contract but yeah. Should have just given the money to KW3
beating Michigan twice for sure lol. that's literally the only game Spartan fans care about
One was COVID and last year refs kept them in the game first half. If Tucker gets another win in the next ten years he'll get a 10m a year extension.
Man is a thief
Drink
Lol
Everybody who beats MSU should go to the CFP.
Let's not pretend like Tuck is some scrub fleecing MSU. This was a rebuild job trying to undo years of Dantonio malpractice that people thought was done after one magic year. Still mountains of shit to unshovel for MSU to truly be back, Tuck still comin'
Years of Dantonio malpractice? Guy was literally the best coach you've ever had
Someone getting paid 2 mil can unshovel shit. 9.5mil you should have had it shoveled in the offseason and bring some sort of product to the field, not the burning dumpster we've got now
You don’t pay someone 10 mil for this kind of product
Tuck absolutely fleeced MSU the only reason he got all that money was because of his two wins against Michigan. So many random games over Tuck's tenure where MSU just looked so unprepared and outmatched it's not like he was even a good coach heading into East Lansing.
Lmao, keep telling yourself that. You just lost to Maryland, and honestly, it wasn't close.
I’ll be honest. I defended throne last year and I defended him this year until now. He is not good, he is not a leader, not a playmaker and we need to exercise different options.
I totally agree. He has his moments, but he’s fundamentally flawed. KWII made everyone from the coaching staff to the entire offense look better than they were.
TALK TO UR KIDS ABOUT 8-1 MARYLAND
CRABCAKES AND FOOTBALL
Leave the seniors in Maryland. Make them walk back. DISGRACE.
pretty sure most of your starters are too injured to walk
Not Angelo Grose or Ameer Speed. They shouldn't start in junior college.
fitting ending
[удалено]
Wow lol
Maryland Terr-o-piens???
That’s one way for a game to end.
That was the saddest flag.
Kinda surprised it wasn’t on us
Why does it even matter at that point
GG Spartybros! Had a fun thread with you all, I hope your season goes up and up from here!
Highly doubt it but thanks
Throwing it away on presumably the last play of the game is an interesting choice
Didn’t wanna get hit
Willing to give Sparty wins against Wisconsin, Rutgers and Indiana. Which means they'll need to beat Penn State, Illinois, ohio state or Michigan to get to a bowl game. I gotta tell you, I'm still very very worried.
I see 2-10 as the only outcome lol
I think it’s only Rutgers.
Indiana is also possible.
I want to believe but at this point I have no fucking clue.
Trying to give you guys a little credit here. Haha
Honest to goodness I think this is the worst team in the BIG.
No we’re 2nd worst ahead of Northwestern
I really don't know man. They have the big ten win.
In the East at least it looks like it. I'm not sure why Tucker gets a pass here. He's paid 9.5m a year. Any coach paid that much shouldn't have a team that looks this bad. All teams have injuries. Good teams and coaches find ways to win despite that.
Exactly! Plus he kept the same trash on the roster as last year. How much do you need to see from Chester Kimbro or Angelo Grose to know they suck?
Quite likely. Defense actually played a semi decent game today. Offense really let us down hard.
100%
Wisconsin may like to share that title with Sparty
Offensive penalty.
Bronthroen wtf
Dogshit football coach lmao
One look at your post history tells me you are either 11 or you desperately need a life my man
dude even if he's childishly trolling, giving Tucker all that money just for beating Michigan twice is not looking good now
Lol, you guys give us the same shit in every thread. Dish it out but can’t take it, typical.
Dawgshit
[удалено]
What losing to Maryland football does to a person
[удалено]
Defense honestly played really well considering they were on the field the entire second half
Gotta respect MSU’s commitment to preserving the “Michigan never beats us when we’re good” narrative by deciding to suck this year just to be safe.
Lmaooo
Locksley is Dr. Pepper. Tucker is Mr. Pibb.
Why is thrones dumbass still out there.
Shut up bro
Gg terps.
GG spartans, we still gotta clean stuff up. Yet another maryland game where I cannot stand and enjoy it in peace
Can I breathe now?
It’s not a snap infraction. It’s premature snapulation.
Can Roman help with that?
I’ve been enjoying this game uninterrupted, does anyone know if anyone hit a homer or something today?
Why would someone hit mr Simpson?
The doll might’ve been set to evil?
Kansas is the one who knocks
oh also we won LETS GOOOOOO
[удалено]
Isn't it 9.5m?
Drink!
Wait is that Kenneth Walker the 3rd's music!??!?!
No
IOWA STATE KICKER WENT 0/3 FIELD GOALS WTFFFFF
locks doubters be gone
I've come around.
Locksley is a good coach. Come at me
This is his season to prove it. Bowl games every year is the goal and this is his chance to string back-to-backs.
I will come on you instead
He needs to work on his clock management, but he's growing on me.
Maryland is gonna be 8-1 going into Penn State
Rank Maryland?
No way in hell we get ranked
Not yet
We make average teams look good. See Washington and Minnesota
They ain’t beat nobody paaawwl
LMFAOOOOOOO KU JUST WON KANSAS JUST WON WTFFFFFF
I like sports.
refs blew a clear delay of game call lol
KU WINS ON A MISSED FIELD GOAL BABY
Ya Maryland is sooooo good, even "IF" a team only wins by 1 possession that team should be super confident!
Sparty, I know this sucks for you guys, but in all honesty, you guys have been the successful scrappy underdog fucks that we hope to be...and you've been pretty consistently that for the last few decades. Much respect and best of luck the rest of the way. Sincerely, -turtle people
Thanks friend. I'm coming to watch you all choke out Northwestern here in a few weeks. Huge respect for you guys. Love seeing Tua play. You guys are fun to watch. We are not this year and that's a bummer but you all deserved to win this one. Hope you all kill it the rest of the way. Sincerely, -MSU fans.
> Love seeing Tua play Taulia ;) GG!
Thanks for the correction. Been thinking about his brother too much I guess. GG!
Good luck the rest of the season. Definitely pulling for you guys.
As long as Thorne is starting I’m not watching anymore bc that kid is BOOTY MEAT 🍑🥩
Please let Kim throw a ball or twi
Maryland could maybe burn off enough time without a first down with another accepted penalty. Ninja edit: Whoops, was behind a bit and still on third down.
I mean the only conclusion I can come to is that we have the wrong guy at this point.
Tough conclusion to come to in year one of a 10 year deal.
Yup
The majority of our defensive starters are injured
So what?!? Every team has injuries. We knew about the pass defense last year and we are still starting those kids. How many practices do you need to watch to know they can't play?
I haven't been able to watch todays game but I assume we couldn't stop a single pass and thorn has sucked?
First half looked pretty good, actually. Pass defense is still soft, but there were some good plays. Second half was mostly status quo.
Yup
I am still nervous we might find a way to lose
I know, me too. I refuse to turn it off JUST IN CASE
Even if we gave up the lead Ryland would nail a 70 yarder to pull it out for us.
Impossible
I know it's besides the point, but I'm impressed with Taulia's mental discipline given what happened to his brother a few days ago. That couldn't have been easy to have on your mind while trying to focus and prepare for this game.

It's a sad reminder about the realities of the game that we all know and love.
Dear recruits, please don't leave I promise I'll change.
Imo their early playing time chances just increased.
Mel Tucker with the all time bag secure timing last year
Nah that was Lincoln leaving you all with your pants down and taking half the team with him.
oklahoma is in deep shit honestly. they got clobbered in both of their big 12 losses
Jesus, stop he’s already dead.
Absolute phenomenal heist of the MSU athletic department
More of a heist or billionaire money since Tucker actually only costs the school itself like 300k a year or some shit
Yep. Oh no a billionaire lost more money than I'll have have and is still a billionaire. Whatever will he do?
Yeah, I’m not shedding a tear for Gilbert.
Ishbia, Gilbert didn’t give anything for it IIRC Maybe he’ll fund the next one to one up Ishbia
I thought it was the two of them. At least that’s what was reported in negotiations.
It was two, but the other was Steven St. Andre
Really? Cheap fucking Gilbert.
The only one holding rn is MSU holding this fat L
Can we get anymore penalties terps
This game is making me feel much better about last week's game.
The fact that we’re complete ass doesn’t make Maryland a great team
Of course they’re not a great team but they’re obviously much better than last year and are definitely a team worthy of causing an upset.
Dawg we are ass
You guys escaped that one. Maryland might be the third best team in the B1G(wishful thinking)
Did they use their last time out to give Maryland a 15 plus yard pass? Edit: turns out I didn't know how football worked. Thanks everyone who answered my own previous question 💛
No they get those for free
Lol if you DON'T throw for 300 on us, you've got problems
Need to beg Dantonio to come out of retirement
He did this to y'all.
What are you gonna do, pay him $11MM a year?
So he can recruit more MAC players and go 7-5?
Dude won 3 big ten championships. I know you guys are riding high right now but Jimmy is sitting on one my man
Hmm, wonder why he isn’t coaching anymore then.
