Lol, Dungey just jumped up and kicked Redwine in the chest to break a tackle. Never seen that.

I hate that we're just wasting John Kelly's talent.

Didn't LJ Scott get arrested this week for driving without a license for the 7th time in a year? If so...how is he playing this week?

He plays for a program where that's a comparatively minor thing.

That said, I don't think even the more ardent Sparty-haters (myself included) really see getting arrested for a relatively minor traffic violation as a big deal. Kinda comical it's his 7th time, but still pretty minor in the grand scheme (Larry Nassar anyone?).

Re: Week 8 Discussion

Not as dramatic as a finish, but still one that had my heart pumping. Miami has got to stop shooting themselves in the foot. Last week against GT they got 25 points on 481 yards. This game they had 27 points to go with 480 yards. The drops are killer and settling for multiple FGs a game inside of the 20 is going to lose you a game eventually. I will take each win however it comes, but this team still clearly lacks the depth to be a top tier team and the OL is too poor in run blocking to get their either. They are great in pass protection, but it's a risk to trust them when you need 2-3 yards.


That said, two straight weeks of self inflicted wounds all game while the other team plays their heart out and you survive. It's been a long time for this program when that was the case. 11 straight wins, 3-0 in 1 possession games after being 0-3 last year. Progress is being made. Adidas needs to provide new gloves that work so these theatrics can be avoided. It should've been 24-0 at the end of the 1st quarter if there were not 5 drops that quarter alone, 2 of which were guaranteed TDs and a 3rd that would've been close.

It being his 7th time makes it a bit more serious though. I’d be surprised if he didn’t get jail time for that... in Florida just a first offense would be a 2nd degree misdemeanor punishable by up to 6 months in jail(though I highly doubt anyone has gotten jail time for 1st offense).

Anyway go Irish.

If it was his first time, I'd agree. That said, it was his 7th offense...from what I read it could end up being serious. At what point do you send a message to the guy and say "enough is enough...there are consequences"?

Re: Week 8 Discussion

Michigan playing a bizarro game. Hanging their hopes on the offense? Defense and kicker have been strengths this season, but not in this game so far.

Apparently whether it's keeping his license updated or not fumbling the ball, L.J. Scott is an excruciatingly slow learner. Still don't think it needs to be treated as a big deal.

I'd be much more concerned about the institutional coverup of sexual assault (Nassar situation) and the EL prosecutor being slower than molasses in January when it comes to charging/prosecuting MSU football players. Bigger fish to fry, imo.
