Gholston not over-rated just keyed on
MSU starts slow
Burbridge now top receiving threat (i.e., can catch a ball)
Number 1 and 2 TE for MSU both out
Coming from the Spartan fan
Juggernaut.
Juggernaut.
I think "Juggernaught" is
I think "Juggernaught" is actually an apt desciption of Indiana's football team.
Mark Weisman.
Also, Juggernaut is the nickname teammates of John Rigginish Iowa running back/fullback, Mark Weisman, have given him.

And finishes slow.
I still cannot understand why
I still cannot understand why DeAnthony Arnett isn't playing. Is it retribution for his tweets? It can't be that he's not as good as the guys they are playing. Dude had 24 catches averaging 10 apiece last year. He can catch the ball, unlike all of Sparty's other receivers.

I work with a big TN fan, and
I work with a big TN fan, and when Arnett transferred, his reaction was 'Eh, he wasn't as good as he thought he was.' I don't watch much UT, so I can't comment on the voracity of that statement, but maybe he has some attitude problem and his stats last year are missing some mitigating context that makes them less impressive?
Fwiw, reports all summer long
Fwiw, reports all summer long were that arnett couldn't catch the ball. Iirc there was a news article mentioning he had surgery of some kind too. Maybe on his hand or wrist. I don't remember. But ya, he was actually singled out as having the questionable hands when everyone was supposed to be steady, so yeeeesh.
When they say gholston is
When they say gholston is "keyed in on" do they mean blocked? Like what you do in football? Or does he just not know what he's saying?
Not that I loved Rich Rod less, but that I loved Michigan more.
Amen.
I've never read that blog, but from brief mentions here and other sources, I thought TOC was supposed to be a pretty solid site.
Tommy Gholston is absolutely the best unblocked defensive end in the country. If you do not block him, he will make prettier and more ferocious tackles than any other unblocked DE. Fortunately if you put a man on him he's just OK. TOC should know this if they're paying attention.
Well 11W is supposed to be
Well 11W is supposed to be reasonable too and they say some pretty dumb stuff, like when they called Tom Strobel and Kyle Kalis fags (or something to that effect). I think we are just used to an extremely high standard. This is MGoBlog fergodsakes.

Was that actually from an 11W
Was that actually from an 11W writer or was it one of their users?

I didn't think this was worth its own thread - and since this thread relates to other team blogs, it is my best chance to get an answer:

Gholston is overrated
I've seen him get single-blocked most of the time. It's not like he's Jadeveon Clowney and they're throwing a tackle, guard, and RB at him to block him. In the MSU games I've seen thus far (Boise, ND, EMU), he's single-blocked a ton of the time and still does mostly nothing. Marcus Rush >> Gholson
He just rears his head back
He just rears his head back and acts like Zhul in demon dog form if he somehow breaks through the line.
All in for some manball.
Hahaha. You can count on
Hahaha. You can count on needless celebrations from Sparty even if it is still the first half and EMU has more points on the scoreboard.
I'm
I'm wondering if MSU is moving Gholston inside with the Michigan game in mind. If he's on the outside, he'll be a complete non-factor again against Lewan after last year's total domination.
He has been a non-factor vs
He has been a non-factor vs guys below Lewans ability.

I can't imagine him playing
I can't imagine him playing inside. He's not big enough. He'd be a liability against the run.
What would be the difference?

The Only Colors is a joke.
The Only Colors is a joke. We have third string users on mgoblog that provide much better content. As for 11W, they are from Ohio, so questioning the sexuality of a couple M recruits from Ohio is unfortunately not only not shocking, but expected.
Hail to the Victors!

Like me!
All in for some manball.
Coming from the Spartan fan that wrote in the Free Press on Monday that he's 'surprisingly optamistic' about the rest of MSU's season because of the amount of heart and poise MSU showed in their thrilling come from behind victory over the juggernaught Indiana.
