Crimson and Cream

Man that was a heck of a run and he took some hits

Come on guys settle down, gotta get on the same page

Dang

So I just got home, did Penix get injured.....again?

Can't believe he got in on that play, wow

Yeah I've settled down from my initial stance of firing him but I still need to see how this season ends to solidify my opinion of him. I didn't like that he showed fear and panic when in the driver's seat but like others have said let's hope that was a learning experience and it doesn't happen again.

This program has had enough challenges preventing any "breakthrough" without our own coaching staff sabotaging us. It more specifically irritates me because of how Tom Allen acts and carries himself. As if he has no fear, that he would run through a brick wall to see this team achieve a breakthrough, but then when all he has to do is step on a team's throat, he suddenly gets afraid to lose and goes conservative. What kind of message does that send to your team? To future recruits? Don't get me wrong, we're 4-2 and have a good chance to still make a bowl game this year. We have beaten the lower rated teams we were supposed to beat. All of that is an improvement from years past. But 5-1 is better than 4-2 and that's where we should be. This program can't afford to give away wins like that. I've obviously had time to settle down after the Sparty game and there's no doubt Allen is improving this program slowly but surely. But that display was just unacceptable and a slap in the face to me as a fan. End rant.

Well that wasn't as notable as I'd hoped lol!

When was the last time we had a defensive player outscore the opposing team?

Michigan State is overrated and not even ranked anymore. We had them on the ropes and Allen showed an inability to make winning decisions/calls. Whether that's a call for firing or not is another discussion but let's not hype up Sparty as an OSU/Wiscy type of team. That should have been a W for us.

Sucks that injuries cost him so many opportunities early in his career here. Hopefully he finds a good fit and can get on the field for his last season.

I would have guessed Brunk would have been one but seeing how this is his first year with the team I understand why the other two were selected

0-15 vs ranked teams as a HC

Agree here, I've been very patient with Allen but today for me was the last straw. All that jumping around and energy becomes insulting when you show you're afraid to win the game. Feels just like a gimmick, and time is up. Spend the money to go get a real head coach that isn't afraid to make the right calls to win us close games.

Welp, I'm not surprised. Just disappointed.

Way to stay consistent and end the game with one more stupid play

The lack of intelligence within this program is astonishing

Should have just let them score there. That probably ends the game.

Gotta make some kind of play on that ball, defender was more worried about just making the tackle after the fact

Not to be a debbie downer but does anyone here really believe the defense is not going to let them march down the field for a game winning score? On a positive note, Whop has had a career day. Penix, despite a couple bad overthrows, has been fantastic. Welp, let's hope luck is on our side for once.

My patience is gone. Spend the money for a competent coaching staff who isn't afraid to win football games. This is beyond pathetic and a slap in the face to the fans who've been so patient with this program.

Lol, just one brutal mistake after another

This program is afraid. You're not going to win the big games playing afraid.

Haha wow man

I've already lost track of how many mistakes we just made in the last minute of this game.
