The T.S. Elliott poem “The Hollow Men,” the final refrain is an ominous one. It goes, “This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang, but with a whimper.” On Saturday in Spartan Stadium, the 2019 regular season also came to an end, and unfortunately there was more whimper than bang.
Now, MSU still did come away with the win, so all is not lost. The World, in fact, is not coming to an end. However, the win did have a certain Hollow feel to it. Maryland is not a good football team, yet MSU once again found themselves leaving points on the field and letting said bad team hang around.
