John L. Smith, Leader of the Michigan State Implosion SquadFollowing their game with Notre Dame last week, a few Michigan State players stood near the 50-yard-line, guarding it from a possible revenge flag planting attempt by the Irish. But with the Notre Dame players too busy singing the Alma Mater with students in a far corner of the stadium, nothing came to pass. But this week, the post-game was far more juicy. Michigan State continued its annual collapse against hapless Illinois on Saturday and after the game, Illinois players ran to the 50 with their flag in tow and attempted to stake their claim. A fracas ensued, resulting in MSU protecting their 50-yard-line only slightly better than the end zone. Michigan State coach, John L. Smith, discussed the incident in his post-game press conference, essentially blowing things off with the "boys will be boys" excuse. But as he was walking off the podium, Smith, who is the Peter Principle personified, slapped himself in the face - literally (Youtube below). This was likely a parting shot at Charlie Weis, who claimed that a Spartan may have slapped him in last week's sideline fracas. But If Smith is going to make gratuitous references to previous week's events, perhaps this gesture to the right is more appropriate.In any case, check out SportsbyBrooks today for my most recent update, which features some of the following nuggets:

Hopefully they'll let Smith coach there until he's ready to retire! You can't get comedy like this anywhere else.
