You had to figure this is probably how it was going to end

Damn. His story is just so sad. A true cautionary tale. He was right up there with Randy Moss and Calvin Johnson in terms of just natural god-given ability imo. Been a lot of great WR's to come out of college and into the league over the last 20 years. Charles Rogers was right up there with the very best. I honestly would only put Randy and Calvin ahead of him.

Only NC State (2-10) and Akron (1-11) were worse than MSU (3-9) (tied with others, including Nebraska and Northwestern) ATS this season

I'd like to see a breakdown of that 3-9. At first glance I'd have to think a lot of that was early season games.

Actually 2 of their 3 ATS wins came in the first 4 games.  They were 14.5 point favorites against WMU, and won by 34, and 7.5 point favorites against Northwestern and won by 21.

They failed to cover in 7 of their last 8, with a 27 point win at Rutgers, as 21 point favorites, being the lone exception.

This is the same "journalist" who ran with Tom Izzo taking over the football coaching job in 2007 and Dantonio retiring after 2018, plus makes it his job to simply try and troll at Big 10 media days, so grain of salt, but putting it out there of note

Kid made academic All-Big Ten, while losing both parents (in Texas) during his college years.  Had his dogs walk him out for Senior Day(which obviously rival Twitter hated), but I'm not sure MSU has had a better kid out on the uniform under Dantonio

Rivals hated?  Ugh, just ignore and move on I guess.

Bears fired their OL coach, who developed a bunch of first round picks at ND from 2011-17.  Fire Walrus, go get this guy.
