I've been reading posts and blogs about Michigan State. What do you guys think about how they did this year? What kind of coach is Dantonio? Do you think he will stick around at Michigan State or leave when another, better, job opens up at a bigger school -- like Saban did?
He sure does seem to spark the rivalry and actually put some emotion into it again ( he hates Michigan). That, to me, is a good thing. Maybe Michigan fans will not take State for granted after they beat us this past year.
Do you see them becoming a program that will contend against Michigan on a yearly basis, or will it be like the last 20 years or so where State gets a win once in awhile, but struggles the rest of the time?

Thanks for the questions.
In our opinion, Mark Dantonio is a solid football guy and one heck of a good person.
He is an old-fashioned, run-the-football and play-outstanding-defense type of guy. He has established a good base of recruiting in the state of Michigan and will give Michigan a run for their money with in-state recruiting.
We think Coach Dantonio will be at Michigan State for some time. His stress on recruiting in the state of Michigan, should make the rivalry fun. Those Michigan high school kids not recruited by Michigan will have added incentive to prove Michigan screwed up when passing on them.
This is exactly what happened when Coach Perles was at Michigan State. Time will tell how Coach Dantonio will do; he did inherit Hoyer and Ringer and must replace them if Michigan State is to contend next year.
We do like the fact that the rivalry looks to be heating up. That just makes beating "little brother" all the more fun.
