Saunders Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Quote The Athletic: As Year 2 awaits Mel Tucker and his Michigan State program, there is work to do but reason for optimism There is a line in “It Takes What it Takes,” a 2020 book written by renowned mental conditional expert Trevor Moawad and The Athletic’s Andy Staples, in which Moawad describes the matter-of-fact exercise of thinking neutrally. In its simplest form, neutral thinking is intended to help those move forward in life. Positive thinkers can find themselves separated from reality. Negative thinkers can hinder their own progress and development. Neutral thinking is, essentially, a method to prevent the past from dictating the future. It is a process Moawad has come to master over time. He travels the country, speaking to coaches, teams, athletes and anyone who seeks to learn more about it. Michigan State coach Mel Tucker is one of them. Tucker encouraged his staff to read the book last year. He has invited Moawad to speak to his team. Neutral thinking is something Tucker lives by, day in and day out. https://theathletic.com/2640095/2021/06/15/as-year-2-awaits-mel-tucker-and-his-michigan-state-program-there-is-work-to-do-but-reason-for-optimism/ Quote CollegeFootballNews: Michigan State Spartans Preview It’s not that the style under Dantonio couldn’t keep on working, but it took a certain tone, tenor and coach to pull it off. So now in Mel Tucker’s second season, the first goal has to be to create his own direction. It’s not that the style under Dantonio couldn’t keep on working, but it took a certain tone, tenor and coach to pull it off. So now in Mel Tucker’s second season, the first goal has to be to create his own direction. There’s experience and depth on the 2021 team. The offensive line seems like it’s been around long enough to have blocked for Lorenzo White, there’s a solid starting 11 on defense, and there’s enough coming in from the transfer portal to fill in some of the cracks. There’s no Wisconsin, Iowa or Minnesota on the schedule. There’s a trip to Miami, road games at Ohio State, Northwestern and Indiana, and home dates against Michigan and Penn State. Win at least two of those, get the O going and go 5-1 or better against everyone else, and everything is back on track. Of course, doing that is going to be a tough fight, but this program is used to that.

Caliborn72 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 NW and Youngstown State aren’t exactly a daunting duo but I’ve definitely been impressed most with the Michigan State OLine through 2 weeks. Maybe we shock the world in Norman but assuming we lose that game, the Michigan State game becomes one of the most important of the season. With a weak NW after, we’d have a shot to be 4-2 with momentum against a tough Michigan team in Lincoln. 3 1 Quote Link to comment
Dogs In A Pile Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 This is going to be a tough road game coming off the road game at OU. Hopefully we don't get too beat up in Norman this week. 1 Quote Link to comment
Undone Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I drank a glass of Kool-Aid just now. If Martin, Manning, Toure & Allen are healthy for this game and we do just a bit better at pass protection I think we win. One of my biggest fears is Martinez getting hurt this week against Oklahoma. 2 Quote Link to comment

But seriously, early season hiccups happen. Do you think Illinois wins a rematch? I know that doesn't matter because we already lost, but it has less bearing on the rest of the season than some are claiming. 1 2 Quote Link to comment

We looked like a dumpster fire because of self-inflicted wounds. 1 Quote Link to comment

It's because they play that Juggernaut in Ames. Since Nebraska joined in 2011: Tennessee Tech Pitt x3 Louisiana-Monroe Iowa State x10 Northern Illinois x3 Northern Iowa x3 Central Michigan Missouri State Western Michigan Ball State Illinois State North Texas x2 Miami (OH) x2 North Dakota State Wyoming Middle Tennessee State Kent State Colorado State Of course, 3 non-cons don't give them a chance to schedule tougher games, but even before that they haven't 1 Quote Link to comment
