Michigan State football is now the worst team in the Big Ten
Michigan State football started off its season with low expectations for new coach Mel Tucker. Somehow, he fell short of those expectations in a bad loss.spartanavenue.com
FTA: I’ve been preaching it the entire offseason on Twitter: Mel Tucker is not the savior for Michigan State. Yes, he was left with a relative dumpster fire of a program. That being said, there is no excuse for the type of performance that this team. Rutgers may not have had a last-second coaching change, but their program was in a worse spot than MSU. They went through the same pandemic that MSU did and showed up to the game miles ahead of the Spartans.
A lot of people want to say that this is only a single game and we shouldn’t hit the panic button. I think that’s overly optimistic. Can you imagine a coach who gets blown out by Rutgers at home in his first game and finishes his career with a national championship? Conference championship? Second place? Probably not, because it has never happened and will not happen here.
It’s obviously too early to say that he’s a failure of a coach but man, I don’t even know what to say at this point other than this: Tucker has a long way to go before he earns the respect of Michigan State fans. Expectations were not high, and somehow he still fell very, very short of them.
Bunker down guys, it’s going to be a long season.
Man, what a stark contrast to last season for Mel. From endearing himself to the hearts of the fanbase by delivering an electric comeback victory over a historic rival, to an abysmal showing against a team everyone expected him to beat. Thinking about how long ago that win against ****braska feels, even though it was just over a year ago, really does put into perspective how much has changed in such a small amount of time.
He danced.I wonder what he had to say at his after game presser?

Seemed that every time they caught a shot of him, he was clapping, in a ****ing relentless sort of way.
Probably something along the lines of “We didn’t play to the echo of the whistle. We weren’t the best conditioned and most physical team. We weren’t relentless. We were all French pastry.”I wonder what he had to say at his after game presser?
I enjoy his suffering and hope it grows. But, his reality is that he is a very wealthy man and it's almost impossible to be a total failure in college football - he'll just keep getting rehired as an assistant or whatever.Michigan State football is now the worst team in the Big Ten

Maybe he can just move over and be the cheerleader team coach. Might be more successful at that?Seemed that every time they caught a shot of him, he was clapping, in a ****ing relentless sort of way.

He was pretty relentless with the clapping yesterday.....
Will there be more clapping next week too?
I’m looking forward to the Michigan-MSU game. Will be a great day. We will still be undefeated and the ****ers and Spartans will be 0-2!!!!
Yes, the entire Michigan State team played like they got the clap this week.He was pretty relentless with the clapping yesterday.....
