It’s official: We’re going to Disney World
Posted by kj on Sunday, December 7th, 2008
I’m not sure if they mentioned this during the basketball broadcast (my children were engaged in boisterous Sunday afternoon play at the time), but Coach Dantonio announced that MSU is going to the Capital One Bowl during a second-half time out.
So, all you football experts out there, how nervous should we be about facing a 9-3 Georgia team that started the season ranked #1 in the country?

Seeron 07 Dec 2008 at 7:33 pm 1I’m pretty confident about this. Georgia is way overrated. They nearly lost to Kentucky and Auburn. They were stomped by the best two teams in the SEC. Georgia Tech ran at will on the outside of them, so outside running early may be key to success.
I think we can take them.
Rob S.on 07 Dec 2008 at 7:52 pm 2You’re confident? The Spartans are terrible! You play in a glorified MAC football conference, and you got your can kicked 3 times. SEC football is a blur compared to the slow, plodding play in the Fat 10.

Yeah, that SEC was such a blur when Michigan beat Mighty Florida last year, it was such a blur when we beat mighty Florida in our last trip to the Cap One Bowl. Such a blur when the Ga. Tech Bumblebees ran around, through and over Georgia.
Georgia is a good team with some great players, but the SEC arrogance is remarkable, it’s a league with two great teams and then a big drop off. . . gee just like the Big Ten, but with better PR.
Seeron 07 Dec 2008 at 8:45 pm 4I’d like to point out that the Big 10 owns the Capital One*.
*Excluding Ohio State, who has been voodoo cursed to fail against any team in the South.
SpartanDanon 09 Dec 2008 at 12:27 am 5Rob: Then how did we (as a conference) win two out of three against the SEC two years ago? Or put up a .500 bowl record against the SEC since 2000 or so?
The SEC supremacy argument is a total joke this year. Most year’s, it’s one of the better conferences (and still finishes .500 against the Big Ten). This year, after Alabama and Florida there’s no one even remotely scary – much like the Big Ten after Ohio State and Penn State, coincidentally.
The only thing I’d worry about from Georgia is Knowshon Moreno. If we can slow him down, we should win – Georgia’s defense doesn’t impress me at all (five games allowing 38+, 400 rush yards by GT, needing a late stand to hold off Kentucky).

Might be another game that rests on Hoyer’s arm, since Ringer won’t be able to outscore Georgia by himself.
