2012 Spartan football thread

I've heard the opposite about Burbridge lately. That he **** the bed on a few classes second semester and now these summer school classes matter way more.

Well, that was kind of assumed when he was required to take the summer classes. Had he actually done well enough in his 2nd semester, he wouldn't be in summer school. And no matter what anyone "feels" nothing will be known until after those classes are done. It's just like with the DeAnthony Arnett waiver, where coaches & players felt confident about getting it. It didn't mean jack because the NCAA has final say.

According to sources, Aaron Burbridge is all set to play ‪#MichiganState‬ this fall.

as there is no mention of it in this thread, I will post some photos of the new video boards going up in the stadium

North Endzone - 2 new boards


South Endzone - 1 new huge board (still erecting the framework)






tRCMB (where I've been hanging out this summer...along with shaggy) has a little 1,000+ post thread about the boards

Backup OL John Deyo transferring to Western Michigan. He's already graduated from MSU. So, he'll be immediately eligible to play for this his final season.

No big loss from an on-field standpoint. Dude played on the FG/XPT team and not much else. Good luck to him.

Damon Knox listed ahead of Micajah Reynolds at DT on depth chart
Darien Harris listed ahead of Taiwan Jones at backup STAR LB
Kurtis Drummond starting at FS
Aaron Burbridge listed on official roster (probably means he's qualified)
Jamare Mills listed on official roster (was attending classes at LCC all spring & summer in hopes of qualifying, but looked like wouldn't be admitted until January)
Drew Stevens no longer on roster, MLive reporting he's retired from football

Interesting how Jack Allen is listed as the #2 LG when we've heard all along how great of a recruit he is for C.

Mitchell White is STILL on the team? Seems like he's been around for 10 years......uggh.

Interested to see where Skylar Burkland fits into the puzzle when everything is all said and done too.

Lawrence Thomas is a disaster.

Heard our longsnapper broke his neck while smimming/boating, and now we'll have to turn to a true freshman? Not so good.

Not just any true freshman, but a 185 lb one.
