im 99% sure we don't have one yet. so i thought i'd start one. predictions?
UAB--W(in a close one)
BGSU--W(easy)
PIT--W(we own pitt)
at ND--W
at WISCONSON--L
NORTHWESTERN--W
INDIANA--W
at OSU--L(trap game for OSU)
at IOWA--L(at iowa is tough)
MICHIGAN--L
at PURDUE--W(in a very close one)
PSU--L
overall-- 7-5
hopefuly hoyer makes the transition to the pro-style. i think javon ringer will be all big ten. i say around 1300 yards from him. i say we make a huge improvement this year. we finally have a defensive minded coach in dantonio. the pro style i think will work in our favor this year with javon ringer,jehuu,and AJ Jimmerson. i think the seaon depends on our O-line, im going to go out and say our defense will be above average. otis wiley is back and we have warrick who showed signs of being a good saftey to help him out, we also have solid LB's who fit our defense, the d-line is getting good and we have the ability to get the QB a lot this season. overall i think we make a big jump and with the recruits we've been getting lately we have the chance to be a legit big ten team. |

we'll considering ND will have a new RB, a freshman QB(i think he's starting but im not sure), lost the best reciever and we always play you tough. i think we have a good chance beating you guys. im looking forward to another flag planting.
and msu1 im not sure this is a rebuilding year. we have a RB who has proven himself in ringer,and jehuu, we also have jimmerson(who is good). hoyer has a lot of PT at QB suprisingly. and he fits the pro style a lot better then the spread.
we have been building our o-line a lot the past couple years and its pretty solid now. we have the 4th best DT(recruit) coming in on defense but other then that we have all experienced players. our D will be good mark my words. but it's MSU we could go 7-4 or 4-7 but its not John(blow games)smith, we have Dantonio a proven defensive coach who knows how to win games. he built osu's defense. he also recruited carpenter hawk. he knows the game well. |

Don't count yourself out already against Notre Dame.
Sparty has won the last five in South Bend.

The Spartans wont do anything next year but have a good future....Its tough after they lost Stanton to overcome on offense.

Hah, Nebraska is doing great at recruiting this year. First we get Blaine Gabbert from Mizzou, now this, combined with the first 5-Star Offensive Lineman ever from Nebraska. I'm really excited about our future.

Yesss!, an MSU thread!
i predict:
UAB- W
BGSU - W
Pitt - W
at ND - W
at Wisconsin - L
Northwestern - W
Indiana - W
at OSU - L
at Iowa - L
Michigan - L (It'll be very close)
at Purdure - L
PSU--L
yes, just barely bowl eligible.
I can believe that punk Jonas Gray is going to Nebraska. you know, funny thing. On NCAA 07, in my MSU dynasties, i would ALWAYS lose my top recruits to Nebraska. ALWAYS. man that ticks me off. First Nichol ditchin us for Oklahoma, now Gray goin to Neb.
I think the spartans could be a potential spoiler team this year, could ruin a couple of seasons of other teams. I expect The MSU-UM game to be close. UM is way over-rated. We had two of the worst teams I've ever seen the last two years, but we kept it close two years ago against OSU. So you would think UM could beat them, right? wrong. one of the knocks i always heard on stanton durning the draft stuff was that he could never beat the bigguns. Well Henne couldn't beat OSU with the great teams he's had. and the D couldn't stop them either. I'll believe the UM hype when they beat a good team (most of the Big Ten wont be too god, out side of them and wisco) |

Don't get your hopes up about a close game with Michigan. You don't have nearly enough defense to slow us down offensively and you don't have the passing game to hang with us on offense. Dantonio has you going in the right direction, but you simply don't have the talent this year to hang with the top teams. Bowl eligibility isn't out of the question, but I think the key game in that regard is the Indiana game. I don't think any of your 5 predicted wins prior to that game are out of the question at all, but Indiana is talented team it should be a good game.

Historically, you never know what is going to happen in East Lansing (ex: Spartan Bob, Peko "fumble" return). They could very well beat Michigan. I have never seen a fan base more passionate about a mediocre football team then the fans of Michigan State. They deserve a winner. They have only been to one bowl game in six years. It is going to be a statement game for Dantonio and the hype at Spartan Stadium will be enormous.

Dantonio is a defensive coach, so we might me able to make some plays that we couldn't under John L., but I agree about the passing game, we are having troubles with the recievers (Terry Love and TJ Williams, projected starters at the end of spring, have found their way to the bottom of the depth chart) and a new QB starting in Hoyer. I have faith that Hoyer will be as good of a passer, if not better, by the end of his career, as Drew Stanton. He's just not gonna make plays on his feet. But we will have a great running game in the pro-style O with Javon Ringer. He probably wont succeed against the quick UM linebackers, but I wouldn't go and underestimate our offense just yet |

our recievers are fine. love and williams will get it straightend out, allison was a top juco prospect and we should see him alot this year. hoyer i believe will thrive in this system he's more accurate then stanton and just has troubles holding on to the ball and getting the ball of in time. stanton IMO was a spread product as are alot of offensive players. javon ringer's run style is perfect for the pro style and he should dominate. not to mention we have that change of pace with jehuu then back to jimmerson. javon IMO will play good against michigan, he's a shifty back and never goes down from the first guy, the reason we lose that game is cause of hart.
