Here’s how things can turn around in Big Ten football: Mark Dantonio danced with his Michigan State Spartans on Saturday
You beat Wisconsin in Madison, you deserve to blow off some steam

Iowa fans, and anybody’s fans, this could be your team and coach on Saturday. Or the Saturday after that.
Michigan State was coming off disheartening, late-game losses to Iowa and Michigan. Its goal of a third-straight 11-win season was shot.
It then went to Wisconsin and won in overtime, 16-13.
So MSU Coach Mark Dantonio, who seems like anything but the dancing type, danced with his team. It isn’t “Dancing With the Stars” material, but hey, we’re not all Kirstie Alley or Emmitt Smith.
I first saw this video at coachingsearch.com.
And this is why we like college football:

Here’s how things can turn around in Big Ten football: Mark Dantonio danced with his Michigan State Spartans on Saturday
Hmmmm, Dantonio dancing or Rhoads being so proud?
So proud, by about 10,000 light years.
Everybody is trying to glom on to I State post-game. What would the Cap’n do?
I guess I saw something nobody else saw at Northwestern. It was the light coming on for Vandenberg or maybe Davis has modified the offense for James because he looked very good in the game. If it wasn’t for a review that went against Iowa, this game might have got interesting in the end. If Iowa carries this momentum into the Indiana game then possible home against a Purdue team that got blownout against Minnesota, things could begin to happen for the Hawks. Sorry, but I put the NW game as a loss before the season started when I was much more optimistic for the season. By the way has anyone noticed the replay decisions this year in college being wildly erratic. In the Iowa game Davis’s catch was ruled incomplete because he didn’t “complete the catch”, but in the Notre Dame game on the INT that sealed the game Mateo hit the turf and lost posession of the ball and it was call a catch. Seems like guys in the booth are making their own rules up as they go. How repulsive was it to watch the NBC announcers openly lobby for the call to go the Irish’s way and were practically giddy when the call was upheld. So much for journalistic integrity, they must have had to hose down the booth afterwards due to the ejaculatory celebration of Enberg (I think) and his co-announcer. Sickening.
