If OM finishes 9-3 and misses the playoffs there are gonna be some really pissed off members of the Grove Collective. IMO, Pete Golding was the only OM coach earning his paycheck Saturday night.
MVB came on strong and glad to have him for the rest of the season. How it plays out after that, who knows.

That has been part of the problem with our fanbase. MSU fans fall in love with a player and want to anoint them as the savior for the rest of their career. And sometimes it just doesn't work out. QBs can regress, or god forbid, somebody better just comes along or the player leaves on their own. It happens all over the college football landscape. Look at Will Howard. He led Kansas State to a 9-4 record finishing in the top 25 and took the money to go to Ohio State. Riley Leonard left Duke, Cam Ward left Washington State. There is no loyalty. These guys left GOOD teams in major conferences to go play for one of the bigger boys.

We have got to learn, as a fanbase, to support the TEAM and not get too caught up in the individual player. That is especially going to be true going forward in the NIL world of college football. These guys aren't loyal to the school colors near as much as you are as a FAN.
