Michigan St. suspensions, and the Alamo Bowl

by jwhitettu on Dec 1, 2009 9:56 PM CST

So, most analysts are predicting that we will play MSU in the Alamo Bowl. Fine. But I thought this story about some brawl involving 8 to 15 MSU football players was pretty interesting. If this is true, and they are all found culpable, then they are in big trouble for our predicted bowl game. Just thought it was interesting. Thoughts? We may have a cake walk in the bowl game if they can't field a team. Link on ESPN.

Unless they were suspended for one game.

Probably won't effect them playing in the bowl

How do we matchup with MSU?? I know very little about them…beyond the fact that they are a very pedestrian 6-6 and play in a lackluster conference…lost to such powerhouses as Cent Mich (my grad school, Go Chippewas!) at home and Minn on the road.

If the players are found guilty

of being a part of the brawl, they could be suspended completely from the team, maybe with provisions for meeting certain things to be reinstated by next year. At any rate, they all will probably miss the bowl game they are selected for. Actually, I hope Wisconsin or Northwestern get selected for the Alamo Bowl, especially if we play there. If we somehow get to play in the Holiday Bowl, it will be a doozy if Oregon get the nod, too. Anyway, I would prefer not to have to play a 6-6 team such as Minnesota or Michigan State. For me, there is little to gain but a whole lot to lose in that environment.

If these guys don’t play in the bowl game they are going to lose some serious production on the field, I was checking out the stats and they appear to be one starting WR and some guys who receive solid pt. If they don’t play it would give us a huge advantage in my opinion.
