Okay, I'm happy for the players for our win on Saturday, but it's a shallow victory. The season isn't "saved" until we make a bowl game. This is a step in the right direction, but the guys need to learn not to count their eggs before they're hatched. From the State News:

Instead of rolling over, the Spartans fought back. And when freshman kicker Brett Swenson hit a 28-yard field goal with 13 seconds left in the game, the comeback was official.

But not just any comeback. MSU had engineered the biggest comeback in NCAA Division I-A history to beat Northwestern, 41-38, on Saturday in Evanston, Ill.

"We saved our season," senior center Kyle Cook said. "We really should've come out and done that right away. We shouldn't have let it get to what it was. But it showed a lot of character in our team."

"We really shouldn't have let it get to what it was." Gee, no shit.

Smith gets no credit for this win. None. Zero. Zilch. His ass is still on the line, as far as I'm concerned. Sorry, but even if we make a bowl at 6-6, it's still not good enough. This team still has a long way to go...
