ESPN radio and Michigan's "troubles"

Colin Blowhard has apparently been told of the Feagin situation. He went on a 5 minute rant about M needed to get things figured out, softening it with, "I think they will."
Other examples he added were the recent article about walk-ons looking to help the program (I didn't read it - because I don't believe the premise of walk-ons getting much/any playing time - I'm talking to you REYES!)
Then a caller added how MSU "dominated" Michigan in in-state recruiting this year. I'm not a recruitnik but I know M cannot return to prominence by recruiting mostly players form Michigan. They've always lost some recruiting battles to MSU - my mom always said it was because those kids couldn't get in, I'll choose to believe it - and they'll continue to do that. If they can win a few Ohio kids from OSU and a few PA kids from PSU and a few FL, TX and CA kids I think they're better off. Even so, from what little I do follow, you could make a case that M has verbals from the top QB, RB and WR in Michigan for next year.
This is what bothers me about what has happened lately. The national media only reads the headlines or the juicy stuff. Anything that has a hint of negativity is picked up nationally and piled on.
There are things that have happened on RRs watch that I am not too happy with. But I don't think he's moving in the wrong direction. I think improved QB play would have made a .500 or better season last year. If either of the freshman can play as they're touted this year or more likely next year this program could be going places...

I can't argue with anything you say. From what I've seen, the consensus prediction for MSU is 4th place. The regional writers probably like Dantonio more than the national media, thus they are saying 3rd. How is that a crazy idea? You'd have to be a senseless homer to think that M could possibly beat MSU up there in East Lansing this year. er, um. I mean you'd have to have a lot of confidence.

WTKA Sparty obsession

Sam Webb and Andy Evans went MSU crazy again this morning. Apparently the Beg Ten Media released their top 3 conference teams - Penn St; OSU and MSU. Additionally, Spartan linebacker, Greg Jones, was the preseason defensive player of the year. According to the TKA duo, these things are impossible. Michigan's 3-9 season last year taught them nothing about the breadth of possibilities in college football. Now I haven't done a whole lot of homework on this yet - but I certainly wouldn't say there is "NO WAY" MSU could finish 3rd. That the "Free Press and the News have become Saprtan homers."
Might as well say they will never play in the Rose Bowl again...
