spain Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 Yeah, it was MSU that screwed him up. What a stupid statement. What is stupid is the fact that nearly every highly touted player to come out of Michigan State is a bust or under-acheiver. That is a fact.

Puddy Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 What is stupid is the fact that nearly every highly touted player to come out of Michigan State is a bust or under-acheiver. That is a fact. Definitely have put out two of the top 10 busts of all time IMO...Tony Mandarich and Charles Rogers. However their WR's usually do well in the NFL: Andre "burnin' down the house" Rison Derrick Mason Mushin Muhammad Plaxico Burress Whereas my Wolverines have highly touted WR's who usually fail in the NFL: Anthony Carter (not a complete failure but he did not play up to his hype) Desmond Howard (good kick returner) David "Mandingo" Terrell Marquise Walker Tai Streets Derrick Alexander (a couple of good years) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bioya Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 What is stupid is the fact that nearly every highly touted player to come out of Michigan State is a bust or under-acheiver. That is a fact. That is just a stupid statement. Every school has it's busts. There is a lot more good than bad - like the poster above stated. The only "highly touted" busts I can think of is Percy Snow, Mandarich and now Rogers. But for everyone of those there is an Andre Rison, Derrick Mason, Julian Perterson, Mushin Muhammad, Lorenzo White, Flozell Adams, Ike Reese, TJ Duckett, Morten Anderson, Plaxico Burress, all pretty decent players. Should we discuss busts from Tennessee? maybe the great Heath Shuler? To make a blanket statement like that is just plain ignorant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Beatings Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 If Tice were still the Vikings' head coach, Rogers would have already been signed up here in Minny! The Vikes need help at WR (despite the amazing talent fo newly acquired Mr. Pinkston) but I can't see Childress taking a chance on yet another headcase Receiver... I think he's had his fill the last couple of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piratesownninjas Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 WHat? Care to explain this quote? The huddle's censoring system... I probably called him an A$shat or something... Im not attacking Michigan State just to do it, just because im a Michigan homer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
