R. Rich Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 One thing I'm pretty psyched about: my cousin, Tom Dance, is 2nd on the Michigan State depth chart @ strong safety. He was redshirted last year, so this is his freshman season. The guy ahead of him is a sophomore, but neither have any experience. I'm hoping that Tom plays his way into the starting role this season. Tom, like his old (and broken down) cousin R. Rich, is a football and track guy. He ran the 110 hurdles in high school like I did, but Tom won 2 state titles in the event where the best I did was a 4th place finish as a senior. I'm really excited for him. His older brother, Tim, originally went to the University of Buffalo as a WR, and wasn't bad there, either. He has since transferred to a school in Erie, Gannon University. Good luck to both of them.

JinVA Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Not a MSU fan, but I will certainly keep my eyes on him. As the season nears be sure to remind us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoker2Buffalo Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Very cool! I am an MSU fan (as you can tell from my support during the 04 Draft via my User Id). I think MSU is going to surprise a few people this year! Drew Stanton is gonna be GOOD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBusBillsFan Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 I hope he does well, but when the Spartans come rolling into the 'Shoe in November, he is going to have a tough time with Mr. Teddy Ginn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R. Rich Posted June 27, 2005 Author Share Posted June 27, 2005 Well, both MSU and OSU may have a hard time w/ Mr. Derrick Williams of Penn State. I'm hoping he has the same impact for PSU that Ginn had last year for the Buckeyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBusBillsFan Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 My cousin goes to Penn State and can't stop talking about this guy. It's making me nervous about the PSU-OSU game this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't want to play them next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother-in-law's nephew Craig McGovern is a RS Frosh TE, I think he's #3 on the depth chart, but they seem to have a lot of TEs so who knows until the season starts.

I wouldn't want to play them next year. 370444[/snapback] They will be tough, that's for sure. They've done a good job of getting defensive depth in their last couple of recruiting classes, and are now working on putting together a solid offense.

Smoker2Buffalo Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Craig McGovern had a catch the other day KD in CT! But I don't think Tom Dance got in on ST at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't think Tom Dance got in on ST at all. 430419[/snapback] Yeah, I kept checking to see if Tom was in there, and I did see him a few times on the sidelines, but not in the game. The guy ahead of him @ SS looks pretty decent, so Tom has his work cut out for him to get playing time on defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
