What's wrong with reading and or hearing an opposing view point surrounding the game? After all, what the Spartan sports scribes suggest is absolutely true!! In other words, Miami's O-line wasn't that impressive against mighty Appalachian St. Albeit they had a lot of positive moments during the game, but NOT ENOUGH IMPRESSIVE eternal moments. What? And dig this too! Michigan St, and a lot of conference members, FORTE is the trenches. Both OL and DL!! And if you DON'T believe it. Then review the 1st, 2nd and 3r quarters of Miami's game against mighty Wisconsin in a FOURTH-RATE Gotham Bowl!! Wisconsin simply PUNKED Miami's lines on the both sides of LOS.
Also, I can dig those Spartan media hounds opinion about the crowd issue. Seriously I can. Because the Spartans generally play in FULL HOUSE packed stadiums!!! And that's the vast majority of the time. Of course the exception to rule is away games against such teams as Northwestern, for example. But even an " 80% " stadium in suburbia Evanston, IIinois will GENERATE MORE noise, relatively speaking, than say 41,000 or 44,000 in attendance than Hardrock. And " acoustics " be damned. Laughing out loud. Heck, even LOWLY Nebraska would have 89,000 rabid fool-hearted fans in their beloved house of worship, to watch the game against the Spartans. I say fool-hearted because like a lot of Miami fans, they too still LIVE IN THE PAST concerning their beloved football team. So that's why I agree with their opinion about Miami's fans NOT being that much of an hinderance and all that. Peace.
The bottom line: Is the vast majority of Big Ten enclaves are COLLEGE TOWNS. And it seems to me those places generate a different type of stadium atmosphere than say Miami's rented Hardrock. huh? Good day and good evening.
