So, Saturday pretty much sucked. I think that is clear. There were coaching errors, execution errors, slip-and-falls, bad luck, bad spots, and other (some would argue A LOT of) bad calls. When you add all those things up, MSU lost a very winnable game and lost a chance to celebrate Coach Dantonio becoming the all-time winningest coach in MSU history... for now. All-in-all, it was Murphy's Law crap sandwich. In retrospect, scheduling a team with a demonic mascot the day after a full moon falls on Friday the 13th may have not been the best plan.
In times like these, my modus operandi is to look at the numbers and see what they are telling me.
