Game Thread: B1G Championship: #5 Mich St vs #4 Iowa

[Ojb81]

I'm trying to figure out the spread on Okie vs Bama and MSU vs Clemson. Shit, I'm thinking close to toss ups.

I'll prognosticate that Clemson opens as a 3.5 point favorite, and Bama as a 6 pt favorite

Very appropriate to have the Jimmy V emblem up there. It made me think, laugh, and cry.

They be a curious folk, the common Iowan

Lions lost their last game despite trailing for 0 seconds.



There is fucking balance in the universe.

Dude, stop trying to bring me down and bring up the Lions. Let me have the night. I don't have to suffer through the Lions til next Sunday.

Seriously though. A 22 play drive to win the game. Would give any head coach a hard on.

Whole lot of recessive genes in that crowd...

Honestly the play if the game was the PI the Spartan CB took on the bomb from Beathard yo Vandeberg. He was toasted and smart enough to know it. Lots of guys wouldn't be smart enough to take the penalty. If that goes for a TD it's game over

That was a slugfest.

Congrats to both teams for an awesome CCG!

My goodness.... college football is amazing!

Good game. MSU was clearly the better team all night IMO.

Seemed like two very equally matched teams to me. MSU missed two field goals, Iowa threw an interception in the redzone.

Just thought MSU was better. Iowa couldn't do anything in the 2nd half. I don't even think msu played their best game this season. Cook missed a lot of throws.

Watching Sportscenter, they said that before that drive, Iowa had 13 plays in the second half. Michigan State comes up with a 22 play drive.

Iowa trailed in the 4th quarter for 27 seconds all season. Talk about the wrong 27 seconds... lol. I can't stop thinking about that God damn red zone pick where the ball layer on Bulloughs back instead of falling on the ground. FB is a weird game

That's kind of how things have rolled for MSU all season.

snoozefest..........

nice job in the 2nd half iowa.........

Not sure if we were watching the same game

I'm positive we were. MSU was the better team. Every stat would back that up.

Maybe not the whole game, but the second half, Iowa only ran 13 plays.

Iowa was in the lead for the majority of the game and in complete control. We scored quick on that pass to Smith so part of the reason we only had 13 plays and oh yeah, that 82 yard drive at the end of the game that burned 9 minutes off the clock.

I think they got up to 16 on the final drive, if you include the spike as a play.
