Okay, I’m going to assign blame for MSU’s heartbreaking loss to Notre Dame on Saturday night in the following order: John L. Smith, Dick DeVos, Mike Rogers, Saul Anuzis, Mike Bouchard. Here’s how I justify it…
John L. Smith is clearly a bad coach. How else can you explain blowing a 17 point lead heading into the second half of the most important home game of the year? Jehuu Caulcrick ran for over 100 yards and was a huge part of how we got that lead in the first place, yet the kid never touched the football in the fourth quarter. John L. just got his ass out-coached, plain and simple. At the beginning of the year I joked that he would either be fired midseason or after another year of just missing a bowl game. Right now I think the latter is more likely, but if he finds new and creative ways to lose winnable games between now and the end of the year, it’s possible that his fate could be sealed at about the three-quarter mark of this season.
One can only hope.
Now, as for the other four bozos, the republican dream team decided to have a big rally — where they paid “volunteers” twenty dollars an hour to walk around Spartan Stadium with their DeVos/Rogers/Bouchard shirts and stickers on — before the game on Saturday. As my fellow lefty blogger Christine Barry correctly pointed out last Wednesday, this rally signaled certain doom for the Spartans. You see, Dick DeVos paid a visit to Comerica Park on August 8, and in the three weeks that followed the Tigers’ win-loss average dropped from .619 to .318. Sure, they managed to recover and still made the playoffs, but I think it’s pretty clear that Dick’s little visit single-handedly jinxed the Tigers for a while there.
So, on top of John L. Smith being a shitty coach, we had the bad karma of DeVos/Rogers/Anuzis (a U of M Dearborn grad, no less!)/Bouchard (the only Spartan alum) to contend with.
Hey, I’m sorry Spartan fans, but this is just one more reason to vote against the republicans in November.
