so much for that
Afternoon Games Open Thread
Ron English really has done a great job at Eastern. His defense today looks athletic and is getting the job done.
This team was blown out by a FCS team at home. They have given up 37, 31, and 54 in successive weeks. He, in fact, looks like every EMU coach for the past 25 years.
This game is entirely the result of MSU's incompetence. Once MSU stops screwing around they'll put up 50 plus.
"The Ruhr will not be subjected to a single bomb. If an enemy bomber reaches the Ruhr, my name is not Hermann Göring: you can call me Urban Meyer!"
I'm not sure MSU has the ability to score 50 on anyone.
I mean his best season was last year, a 6-6 season, where they played 2 FCS schools

All in for some manball.
Just got back to the hotel from the CMU game. Iowa fans pretty pissed about my chips. And now we have to keep Enos as our coach. Lose lose.
Is this the game that puts Iowa fans over the edge with Ferentz? He's been inching closer to the hot seat in recent years.
This week in Sound Decision Making with Nick Hill....
Go Blue!
Oregon State's having their way so far against UCLA, I'm hoping Missouri can edge out South Carolina because there's no way they're a top 10 team.
How many times have you been on the freeway and had someone fly by you at 100 mph then end up 2 cars ahead of you at the off ramp? What's the point? -Mark Harmon
I think you need to readjust your idea of a top ten team this year. There are probably only 3 or 4 teams that are really good. And Bama is way ahead of those teams. You don't have to look like a top ten team to actually be a top ten team in 2012.
"Michigan Defense" is dominating everything, in every aspect of life. That's a rough definition.

You misunderstand me so let me rephrase. They might not even be ranked by seasons end. West Virginia, South Carolina, and possibly even Oklahoma could all end up 4 loss teams this year. WV will likely lose to Texas, TCU, Oklahoma, KState, and maybe even Baylor after how poorly they played at Maryland. SC should end up dropping games to Georgia, LSU, Clemson, and possibly Florida. Oklahoma was good, but has suffered a ton of attrition to graduation/injury. They'll likely get held by Texas, TCU, Notre Dame, and possibly KState because of those 4 schools having good defenses. Landry Jones has poor protection, and averages about a 50/50 split between TDs and Int+sacks when they were good. But now even Wisconsin scored more against Utep than Oklahoma did this year

Wow....these BTN commentators need to be taken out back and shot. Apparently everyone for Sparty is a world beater again I ask...did last week not happen?
I mean it's 3-0 in the 2nd against EMU, in what world is that total domination?
No wonder ND blew them out at home.
I'm gaining more confidence that Michigan will win tonight!
expect the best
Thought EMU was gonna catch a break there..
"Winning is Fun. Preparing to Win isn't always Fun"
3 of Oregon State's 4 penalties account for 45 of the 50 penalty yards. UCLA hasn't capitalized on any of these gifts.
If I am Jim Mora, my secondary being sucked into play action, leaving no one to look after Brandin Cooks, really stings right now. Man-to-air coverage just doesn't work with a fast WR.

As an EMU grad, MSU is making the Eagles look respectable. Michigan's defense can play as well as EMU.... right.....?
"Winning is Fun. Preparing to Win isn't always Fun"
I'm not sure how much you can credit Eastern for Maxwell having no control over how much power he puts behind each throw.
Go Blue!
But yes, UM should be able to make some plays defensively versus MSU.
My concern is Denard versus that defense.
"The Ruhr will not be subjected to a single bomb. If an enemy bomber reaches the Ruhr, my name is not Hermann Göring: you can call me Urban Meyer!"
I think he should be able to move the ball. MSU just looks like this is a letdown game after the loss to ND. I'm not saying that EMU is gonna win, but MSU just doesn't seem into it AT ALL.
Denard should be fine though against this defense. Tonight will tell a lot though. ND, for once, seems like the real deal and that defense front is just as good as MSU, and their secondary is just as bad as MSU. Should give us a lot of information.
"Winning is Fun. Preparing to Win isn't always Fun"
Ok, I gotta change it. I refuse to watch anymore of these 7-6 football games. This is miserable.
All in for some manball.
That's ugly.
"The Ruhr will not be subjected to a single bomb. If an enemy bomber reaches the Ruhr, my name is not Hermann Göring: you can call me Urban Meyer!"
I imagine that Mark Dantonio told Dan Roushar to "shorten the field" for the offense, so he now plays between the 30s. It makes sense in an odd way.

Is the rain expected to stop by 730 in South Bend?
Did UCLA change their shade of blue? Looking really deep.
Go Blue!
i think Funchess could have a big day against this msu defense.

When did tacopants transfer to MSU?
Tradition is something you can't bottle. But it is there to sustain you when you need it most. I've called upon it time and time again.
So......Tigers hosting the Twins looks like the best game on so far.

MSU has a great offense.
