Assaulted (Michigan 29, Michigan State 7)

By now we’ve all seen the videos. There are no words really, to explain let alone justify what some Michigan State players did in the tunnel after the game on Saturday. There’s no justification for that – although some Sparty fans and media have been trying – because of course they have.

I guess if this type of thing was ever going to happen, it was going to happen with Michigan State. It had to be Michigan State. Of course. What other program would have guys willing to toss their careers away for a chance to knock a Michigan player out…after the game is over…walking back to the locker room?

Awful people from garbage programs do this. No one else does. 

Michigan State had 60 minutes to be physical, with no repercussions. Instead it was Michigan who imposed their will physically on both sides of the ball, outrushing Michigan State 276 to 37. Once again, it was the battle up front that paved the way for another dominating Wolverine victory. Despite some redzone struggles that resulted in field goals rather than touchdowns, this game was never really in doubt. 

Michigan possessed the ball for over 40 minutes, ran 59% of their plays from the MSU side of the fifty, and only punted once. It was an overpowering victory for Michigan – which is becoming a trend lately,  one that obviously is frustrating the hell out of opponents, who seemingly have no answers for what is happening on the field, so that frustration spills out in the tunnel.

Players are always going to be passionate and emotional – especially after a loss. But to take out those frustrations the way Michigan State players did after the game has no place at any level of any sport.

I don’t know what will happen next – an investigation is in progress. Suspensions for Tank Brown, Khary Crump, Angelo Grose, and Zion Young have been announced…with probably more on the way. Some expulsions as well. But I assume at some point more than a couple MSU players will be invited to see the inside of a courtroom. Where they go from will be up to the criminal justice system just as long as it’s not back to a football field.

It is my hope none of the MSU players involved ever get a chance to play or even be around organized sports ever again.
