MSU just went for a BIG drive, 81 yards, mostly running with surgical passes thrown in. Wash St looks flat.
 
Washington St was very flat last year in their bowl game against Minnesota too. Not a post-season team.

Wished I knew that before I made by bet tonight...:cool:

Wasn't aware till the game started.:mad:
I took MSU 2nd half at -1.5

Seemed too good to be true which usually gets you into trouble but I took it anyway. We'll see....

Dr. Tom wasn't great in bowls either.
That's another giant Osborne era myth. He played top 10 teams in the bowls nearly every single year. Most of the bowl losses came against top 5 opponents. When you look at his bowl record against teams ranked 6-20, it's pretty damn good. The 7 year bowl losing streak from 87-93 we played a team that finished either #1 or #2. 3 of the teams we played during that stretch won the national title. 4 teams finished #2 in the rankings. We were insanely freaking good the entire time Osborne was coaching here. I don't know why these myths keep popping up that sell Osborne and those teams short.

Triggered much? Just pointing out don't judge a coach by their performance in one game.

So you're saying because he played a good team a loss was as good as a win? Lol...
Basically you pointed out that when Tom met a team that had talent on par or better than his, he usually had his ass handed to him.

Yes. These guys think that. And they Also believe blo's 6 wins in JV ball this year were as good as 9, so there's that

Personally I think he's right THIS TIMEWinking when it comes to Osborne's bowl record. When you look at it, he didn't lose because he was out coached. It always was because he had been out recruited. Those teams he lost to were loaded with NFL players. He also beat some teams that were loaded with NFL talent.

I agree. Have to have studs to compete. For so long Husker nation has been trying to tell themselves it isn't true.
 
Washington State's Mike Leach has hired Tracy Claeys as def co.
could turn out to be a fairly solid hire for WSU
