Weekly Twitter Mailbag: Trying To Support Derrick Nix

Does MSU have any shot at winning the Rose Bowl against a team like Oregon, USC or Stanford? (@FreeBigMacs)

I would love to tell you “YES YES YES WE WILL!!!1111!11!”, but I can’t, in my right mind, say that. MSU is having issues with fellow Big Ten teams (yes, the worst major conference this year), including INDIANA, who’s at the basement of the B1G. I would love for MSU to make a Rose Bowl. They still have a shot, but unfortunately whichever team they play will dominate them.

Would you have participated in the Derrick Nix crowd surf? (@spartynation1)

Eric is referring to Derrick Nix crowd surfing at the Izzone camp out a few days ago. To answer your question, I would have tried if I would be able to hold him up, but I don’t want to get crushed, so I don’t think I would. I did hear that he lost some weight over the offseason, so maybe I could. Who knows?

I hear Gholston my get moved to nose tackle. Why? Do you think it will happen? And what do you think the impact will be? (@draperbr)

Well, Gholston isn’t just getting moved to NT as a whole, he’s only getting moved there in the Nickel package. Yes, I think it will happen, and I feel like it wil work just fine, but there’s really no reason for him to be there. I’m not a big fan of the move, but I trust Narduzzi and where he puts Will Gholston. I mean, he’s the one that moved him from linebacker to defensive end. Look how that worked out.

    I go about 200 pounds, my brother, and there is no way I’m going in there. It looked like the crowd was carrying a bus in the video. Even a slimmer version of Nix is still a monster.
