He seems to deserve it especially when you have idiots like Lane Kiffin getting big jobs in the recent past. <br /><br />Switching topics......Michigan State is a very veteran team. THAT is why they look more advanced than we do. We are YOUNG. The experience WILL pay off. There's no doubt in my mind.

Other than a grad assistant at one time witnessing Barwis really getting in Brandon Graham's face and calling him lazy and soft when he wasn't working hard in the gym (if this is indeed the case it seemed to work!).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00215282707832079295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4068822035923402169.post-30834258834913363182013-12-09T11:48:12.744-05:002013-12-09T11:48:12.744-05:00Aaron Wellman learned Under MSU strength coach Ken...Aaron Wellman learned Under MSU strength coach Ken Mannie. They use extremely similar methods. S&C has very little to do with the results this season.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15580421472636263518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4068822035923402169.post-79181121721567419222013-12-09T11:37:34.998-05:002013-12-09T11:37:34.998-05:00Little brother is all growd up now......so big bro...Little brother is all growd up now......so big brother can either sit back and be proud or try to learn from little brother. Little brother obviously runs great schemes on O and D, has great game plans and play calls, makes sound adjustments, has superior strength and conditioning... and even has an obviously quality QB coach......and on and on........ despite far lower rated talent. Perhaps Michigan's AD wants to be competitive and will make some changes, perhaps not. At any rate it was fun rooting for little brother and watching him do good........Furthermore, the season tickets are much less expensive!...Will have to explore this further for next year (after all I have a couch to burn!)<br /><br />Recruiting comparison of playing "highly ranked recruits" from 2009 to 2011:<br /><br />MSU<br /><br />Max Bullough (4-star)<br /><br />Isaiah Lewis (4-star)<br /><br />Blake Treadwell (4-star)<br /><br />M<br /><br />Taylor Lewan (4-star)<br /><br />Jeremy Gallon (4-star)<br /><br />Michael Schofield (4-star)<br /><br />Cam Gordon (4-star)<br /><br />Fitz Toussaint (4-star)<br /><br />Quinton Washington (4-star)<br /><br />Devin Gardner (4-star)<br /><br />Blake Countess (4-star)<br /><br />Brennen Beyer (4-star)<br /><br />Raymon Taylor (4-star)<br /><br />It seems that M requires the best of the best to be mediocre while MSU can do great things with less!<br /><br />M's O coaching, play calling, game planning, and clock management is abysmal.... and possibly they're S&C program based upon O and D line strength and toughness.
