Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death


MSU and their rented coach??

So does anybody else find it interesting that  Mark Dantonio is more concerned about getting invited back into the homes of Buckeyes than he was for the possibility of his team possibly making their first Rose Bowl appearance in 20 years. Sure Michigan State was a long shot to beat Penn State and Michigan was a longer shot to beat the Buckeyes, but if I'm a MSU fan I'm wondering if Dantonio is just waiting for the chance to jump ship and replace Tressel should the Vest ever leave tOSU. 

Maybe I am way off base here, but I know if I were a coach I would be rooting for a rival to win if it meant I would get my conference championship and a chance to go to Pasadena.

Dantonio

He has a somewhat dour attitude anyways, so when he was asked whether we was rooting for Michigan, I think he went with the standard “I’m a Grump and I dont root for our rival.” I am not so sure he thought about the implications. Plus, he’s the same age as Tressel, so its not like Tres is on the way out and Dantonio is knocking on the door…

Other notes about Dantonio: He is popular in East Lansing for three things:
1) his serious attitude
2) his in state recruiting
3) his perceived disdane for Michigan
