Watching Michigan State vs Alabama in the playoff game last week I couldn't help but think that maybe Dr. Longshot passed along some secret knowledge to Sabin. The game reminded me of what happened to BigDon in the Grudge Match. Lot's of hype and bluster from the newbie but experience won again in the end. The good Doc has been on double secret probation longer than any of the rest of us here on americantrapshooter.com so I'm fingering him with the most inside info that could explain the BigDon like collapse of Michigan State.

Brad there was a rumor of a payoff, for the lack of use of Zeke Elliott, and running the same play all game long, because of the Ohio State, Odds On Favorite, lots of money changed hands in Las Vegas, , Even brought Comments from Zeke to Urban Myer, who came down on him. Was the Offensive Corordinator replaced before the Notre Dame Bowl Game?? Something had a Foul Odor during the Michigan State Game. Hell Brad you or I Could have beaten Michigan State with our football play calling ability. Woody Hayes Tombstone Shifted on angle when he turned over. GB...................DLS
The inside word is neither of the above. I have it that the bad showing was a direct result of BIG DON being in the Michigan State locker room. It was his pre game speech. That would explain the collapse.
Family guy might have a point. BigDon in the grudge match did resemble Michigan State more than Alabama did the good Doctor. I did hear a rumor that at half time he said State was headed in a fantastic direction, then ordered a round of kool aid for the boys. Brad
Alabama Coach called me about Their game w/Clemson. I told him to keep doing what he has been doing, it has always worked, but I said you need to pull a sneaky Pete that will catch Clemson Off Guard. That unexpected On Side Kick did the trick. Should have been Alabama and Ohio State in National Championsip Game Clemson could have played Michigan State for runner-up Championship.
