Now John L. Smith Is Slapping Himself

OK now. Michigan State is stunned at East Lansing by Illinois, and Spartan coach John L. Smith slaps himself during the postgame press conference after talking about the Fighting Illini trying to plant the flag in Spartan Stadium. Speculation is that "Coach Slappy" did this as a jab at Notre Dame counterpart Crewcut Charlie Weis, who said he was slapped by a Spartan player during the Fighting Irish's 40-37 victory over Sparty on Sept. 23. Frankly, we're not sure what the heck is going on with Smith or his team outside of a total collapse. We can only wait until Mike Valenti of the Sports Inferno puts this in terms we can understand later on Monday. Thanks to AOL's NCAA Fanhouse for this find.
