The Valenti Show - Mike reacts to the Michigan State win over Michigan

[@fattytca1]

Valenti, you are the single most entertaining person on radio and when you bring the fire as a fellow Spartan... man, it's fantastic.

[@wwbdwwbd]

Dantonio is a great coach, no question about it. If Michigan State had the same resources as OSU, Alabama, or other top elite programs, it would be a national championship contender. Very few coaches do more with less as well as Dantonio, very few.

[@shannonk.6528]

This was a great show Mike did today. Loved it.

[@o0oStillWeRiseo0o]

D'Antonio is more underrated than Harbaugh is overrated

[@jacksonpugh5468]

As a UM fan, totally agree with you. From this day forward, Michigan better play with a chip on their shoulder, and stop being satisfied with history. This should be a wake up call for the program to start walking and stop talking. There is NO EXCUSE to lose to a team like that with a top-10 recruting class AT HOME! I still like Harbaugh, but man, this puts the Wolverine Program at crossroads. Dantonio keeps out classing us every year. Not even a fumbled punt miracle can motivate us enough to beat a less talented team. The UM fan base is furious now, and its time for this program to be great again more than ever.

[@seanmelinn5321]

Fact is Michigan has won half a national title in 70 years. Your a consistently very good 9-3 10-2 but almost never truly great. And the style advantage of having a physical Stanford team in a finesse PAC-12 doesn't translate to Michigan and the big ten

[@User31129]

They tied three games in 1992. You don't know what would happen if OT was there. Many people feel they were screwed in 2006 and the #3 team in the country got to play for the title for once. They were an inch, literally, away from playing for the title last year. But they're mediocre. Ok....

[@dandoyle9224]

Sean Melinn in the last 50 years using the current bcs playoff formula michigan would have been in the playoff 10 times. so STFU.

[@seanmelinn5321]

never said mediocre, read the post again, i might have undersold michigan a little bit ill admit en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Michigan_Wolverines_football_seasons 9 top 5 finishes in 70 years in the AP poll. Thats a very very good program but in that time span your probably closer to a top 12 program than a top 5 thats all I'm saying

[@Dragstep50]

Can you upload the Harbaugh is an Underachiever song please

[@michaelwilliams5231]

I know we've won eight out of the last ten games with Mich but I still consider them a rival.

[@blakemortellaro]

lol well played

[@chief0898]

Spot on Mike. Its obvious that MSU plays more with their hearts then Michigan. Dantonio is a way better coach then Harbaugh by far. just look at the NFL draft the past 10 years. not to mention Dantonio is mostly getting 2-3 stars as to Michigan is getting 4-5 star players.GOOOOO GREEEEEEEEN

[@bigkahunaburger5185]

I can tell this game now means more to Michigan fans because I saw the "Beat State" towels in the stands. They never used to do stuff like that. This was just an easy win for Michigan in past years. I think MSU finally realized they need to pay a great head coach and his assistants to have a consistently competitive team. Saban doubled his salary when he left East Lansing for LSU.

[@johnburkardt2189]

And UM's 21-7 win wasn't a big win because WE got smacked by OSU. Check that 0-4 against OSU only coach to go 0-4 against the Bucks. Hey Harbaugh you better smack Day or you're going to get "heated up."

[@Blad3sofWaR]

Mike was getting Dogged all week by Wolverine fans, Just for the Spartans (who aren't very good this year), to give them their first L of the Season. Not only that, but Eight of the Ten years Spartans have won and Harbaugh is 1/4 in rivalry games. So yeah, If I was Mike, i'd be going off as well.

[@EFunkRock]

They went 10-3 that season, the tenth being a bowl game win. They were great that season.

[@1mrtbone]

SO TRUE go green

[@josephmay6311]

Question. What audio is mike referring to from Desmond Howard.

[@danielmcintyre6726]

This is wonderful

[@terrymoffatt8333]

Hello darkness my old friend. I've come to talk with you again.....

[@Majora1988]

That's the good stuff right there, don't disagree with any of it either.

[@Bagle86]

I agree that MSU does embrace being an underdog and he does bring the hate when this game is played. But I noticed the same thing happened to UM that happened to MSU. You came into a game off of a bye week and got gut punched. You learn that you can't make huge mistakes, especially against a squad that has inferior talent. MSU overlooked ND and got smacked. But after that, the message was clear. Now Michigan faces the same dilemma. Kudos to my Spartans for getting gritty and playing up a notch, but based on the talent and money spent, this should never happen to the winged-helmet warriors.

[@User31129]

Michigan fans will never consider 2015 a real loss.

[@jesusgil5564]

Mark is one of the best coaches in Michigan I don't see how Jim is Jim is just a old NFL coach that can't even win a Superbowl

[@elchasai]

it blows my mind that people can make a living talking about sports

[@wwbdwwbd]

Indeed, also mind-blowing is a coach can earn $7-8 million a year just by climbing trees and meeting the Pope.

[@EFunkRock]

There are people who make a living as politicians who do nothing yet make 5-6 figures a year.

[@elchasai]

@@EFunkRock lol brilliant comment...true true too true

[@Zach-pb7mx]

holy fuck i loved this shit... go green

[@WolverinePete]

And with MSU having the better season this year and the win over Michigan head to head, Michigan still gets the better bowl game. Lol

[@dmac6295]

I love it lol

[@Jalafian]

Don't think they're gonna view them as a main rival but you gotta understand the hatred coming from the other side and play with enough intensity to match it.

[@blakemortellaro]

you've been saying that for years

[@Jalafian]

Blake Mortellaro that's not my personal opinion. But just based off the public approach. ..to approach it like the next game that's the impression I get. That they don't want to tier them. My point is that isn't working

[@peterf4620]

Michigan State was the better team. Michigan’s offense is garbage.

[@chief0898]

its funny because all the announcers picked Michigan to win. they all said MSU could not stop sucha great offense. now its an offense that is garbage. great to garbage in 1 day. I would say Michigan is over rated but they are every year. its the special treatment that they think they are owed from things they did in the past

[@peterf4620]

chief 2017 What Michigan needs is that go 2 quarterback that is consistent. Not Wilton Speight or John O’Korn. On the other hand, I think both MSU and Michigan are going to struggle against top ranked teams. Yes, MSU has a quality quarterback.

[@chief0898]

harbaugh is a good coach. I'm actually surprised that Michigan does not have a better playing qb. I met harbaugh at training camp for the lions. He gave his practice jersey to a fan. thought that was really cool

[@peterf4620]

chief 2017 Yes, I agree! Harbaugh is a good coach. If not even a better person. It is frustrating to see a good football program like Michigan, not having a field general under center. Developing a solid consistent quality quarterback takes a lot of time. That is cool that you met him in person. He was on the Detroit Lions?

Some of Mike's comments on Michigan in 2018 didn't age well, lol.

[@mam162]

Mike, are you REALLY sure you want Michigan fans to look at Harbaugh objectively? The longer he's put on a pedestal with no accountability, the longer MSU can own him :)

[@ubilo]

Who does Michigan turn to if Harbaugh fails ?

Haha Valentine you praising Lewerke as a good thing than our roster and saying that in 2018 we would lose to your goodies good one. Look at Lewerke he’s been putrid in 2018 and 2019.

[@EFunkRock]

It was the offensive coordinator who failed lewerke those seasons. 2018, he was injured. 2019, the play calling was putrid AF and the opposite of 2017. Brian didn’t have the freedom to play how he effectively plays.

[@danielchavira9968]

I wonder if Harbaugh even cares. IF the man wants to go back to the NFL, then let him go.

[@slipshaft]

I dont know...hype and boogers for $9Million seems like a pretty good deal to me! Harbaugh and the whining fan base look incredibly stupid right now.

[@jacksonglanville4116]

Valenti acts like State won by 30.

[@donovanmatthews9837]

Jackson Glanville all you need is 1 point to win. 1-4 against rivals and brady hoke similar records. Lol

[@anonx111]

Or maybe he didn't have hit starting qb and his offense had five turn overs lmao

[@blakemortellaro]

so the coach shouldn't be held accountable for his team's performance?

[@lundinch]

Except his starting quarterback is not as good as O'Korn.... plain and simple. I'd wager they would have lost 17-3 if Speight was in.

[@anonx111]

Chris Lundin if okorn was any fucking better I'm sure he would have got the start plain and simple lmao. You're no coach so please don't act like you know what your talking about. Both QbS are trash. Okorn has three interceptions and 0TDs. Anything is better then that.

[@anonx111]

Blake Mortellaro He can't control if his RB fumbles twice and his back up throws picks left and right and completely less then half his pass attempts

[@lundinch]

Right, but O'Korn is slightly better trash, haha. And he had a TD against Purdue.

[@kellmich01]

You are getting UM confused with MSU. UM actually follows rules unlike your team Valenti. MSU got a lucky win. Yeah, they outplayed Michigan for a half but are clearly inferior. Go ahead and crow and exaggerate all you want. We'll see where each program is at the end of the year.

[@aaronvenia6193]

If the win was due to luck, then neither team's skill matters.

[@charlesgideon2925]

All I see is a whole lot of crying. I guess that's what people do when they get kicked in the nuts eight out of ten years, right? Man, that's a whoooole lot of crying. Keep those tears rollin' - I'm sure it'll help you. Maybe next year, I guess?
