http://statenews.com When MSU football head coach Mark Dantonio first laid eyes on the 2008 schedule, he didn’t like what he saw. At first, not having a bye week until the 11th week of the season bothered Dantonio, but three months and one banged-up team later, he’s changed his mind. en-us Gryphon 2.2.3b-tsn (woodward)/Foundry5 Thu, 13 Nov 2008 11:24:35 -0500 webmaster@statenews.com http://statenews.com/index.php/comment/view/27804 “…the Rose bowl is the program’s ultimate goal?” A nice penultimate goal to be sure. But perfection should be the goal and that’s a national championship…like Duffy acheived for the Spartans. Rose Bowls may fill the stands, but National Championships fill the coin box…just as Pete Carroll at USC. Surfs Up!

Give me a break. Anyone who knows anything about sports, knows that your goal is to win the conferece 1st. Any goals after are gravy. Winner of the Big Ten goes to the Rose Bowl. Coach Dantonio is right on. Period. Wed, 12 Nov 2008 11:49:19 -0500 http://statenews.com/index.php/comment/view/27824 http://statenews.com/index.php/comment/view/27827 I agree 100% with spartygold.
