College Football Open Thread Night 2
August 30th, 2013 at 11:58 PM ^
If WMU could do ANYTHING this game would be interesting
August 30th, 2013 at 11:59 PM ^
bantering with those guys, trying to be nice, I was made to feel welcome by the regulars from BYB, I'm on there a lot. Thy are not happy with their QB situation. Dantonio needs an OC, their defense is being wasted with a horrible offense.
August 30th, 2013 at 11:59 PM ^
Yep, you cant ask a guy with 0 experience playing at QB with a team less talented to do anything on the road like this against a Big 10 team. But really their first string guy was throwing near INTs every pass as well.
August 31st, 2013 at 12:00 AM ^
The reigining FCS National Champions just took down the reigning Big 12 Champions. That's awesome.
August 31st, 2013 at 12:03 AM ^
It's only awesome when it happens to someone else.
August 31st, 2013 at 12:05 AM ^
The fun. You've removed it from the situation.
August 31st, 2013 at 12:07 AM ^
Some wounds are slow to heal it seems.
August 31st, 2013 at 12:08 AM ^
It takes time man.
August 31st, 2013 at 12:05 AM ^
"The Horror 2"?
August 31st, 2013 at 12:17 AM ^
SDSU? Come on man. The Bison are from NORTH DAKOTA.
August 31st, 2013 at 12:00 AM ^
So many incompletions on both sides. This game isn't going to end for another 2 hours.
August 31st, 2013 at 12:02 AM ^
Damn, K-State just got their asses beat by the FCS.
August 31st, 2013 at 12:02 AM ^
I'm trying to sleep but I feel like a little kid the night before Christmas
August 31st, 2013 at 12:03 AM ^
NDSU QB says win over KSU is biggest in program history....seems pretty odd to me that he would say that is bigger than their back to back FCS championships the past two years.
August 31st, 2013 at 12:03 AM ^
Hahahha! Sparty No!
August 31st, 2013 at 12:03 AM ^
with Carey suspended. Not that anyone cares, right?
August 31st, 2013 at 12:09 AM ^
Not against Northern Arizona.
August 31st, 2013 at 12:03 AM ^
So what was this about the veteran interior offensive line?
August 31st, 2013 at 12:04 AM ^
Maxwell 11/20 74 yds 3.7 YPA 0 TD
Cook 6/16 42 2.6 YPA 0 TD
DOOOOOOM
August 31st, 2013 at 12:05 AM ^
Damn this commentator that keeps screaming in the MSU game is really getting on my nerves.
August 31st, 2013 at 12:05 AM ^
This game is like pinball on grass. WHO EVEN KNOWS WHERE THAT STUPID THING IS GONNA BOUNCE?
August 31st, 2013 at 12:06 AM ^
Well watching Sparty play makes me feel less doom and gloom about the ratings handed out in the safety preview.
Also be interesting to see how our offensive line handles all those interior blitzes.
August 31st, 2013 at 12:05 AM ^
Did all of them go to State? They just had an orgasm on that last defensive TD.
August 31st, 2013 at 12:08 AM ^
Western 7
Sparty offense 8
Sparty defense 17
Edit. Woops offense has 9. Apologies for shortchanging maxwll and friends
August 31st, 2013 at 12:06 AM ^
MSU has a first world defense, but a third world offense.
August 31st, 2013 at 12:06 AM ^
Doesn't matter how bad State's offense is if their D keeps scoring like this...
August 31st, 2013 at 12:07 AM ^
Yea it does. They only play Western this one time.
August 31st, 2013 at 12:08 AM ^
Their next 2 opponents might be worse than Western. South Florida had 1 good player - he got hurt. Youngstown state is FCS.
August 31st, 2013 at 12:09 AM ^
They are playing western Michigan with a freshman qb. There is no way you can say that the D is great.
August 31st, 2013 at 12:10 AM ^
It's Western Fergodsakes.
August 31st, 2013 at 12:07 AM ^
MSU's offense exactly has ONE drive. Wow, just wow.
August 31st, 2013 at 12:07 AM ^
"Please if MSU goes down 3-0 to Western let's not act like they're not going to win by multiple touchdowns."
Sure, but thanks almost solely to awful QB play by WMU and virtually nothing else. The most annoying part of this game, and surely of the aftermath, is the constant droning on and on that their defense is elite. Sorry, maybe they are, but I didn't see it tonight.
August 31st, 2013 at 12:07 AM ^
MSU should just defer on every play on offense. "No, we don't want it...you take it."
August 31st, 2013 at 12:09 AM ^
MSU is probably going to win a ton of games. I mean, who doesn't win games when the defense scores more than the offense.
August 31st, 2013 at 12:09 AM ^
State has literally just blitzed every play because the oline for Western is atrocious.
August 31st, 2013 at 12:09 AM ^
Kansas State, the BEST team in the Big 12 just lost to an FCS school, which really shouldn't happen ever unless there's some real serious talent deficiency there. The Big 10 is the worst conference, though, amirite?
August 31st, 2013 at 12:15 AM ^
They were the best when they had Collin Klein. Now they're just Kansas State again
August 31st, 2013 at 12:18 AM ^
I've been watching both games and I'd make NDSU at least a 2-TD favorite over Western. Fourth year starter at QB, all five top receivers back from a national championship team, didn't break down on defense against a pretty good FBS opponent, and this is the fourth year in a row they've won their annual FBS game (and they're not playing MAC or Sun Belt teams either).
That's a good team right there. If we had promotion/relegation they'd be in the B1G by now.
August 31st, 2013 at 12:24 AM ^
team with Heisman Trophy contender Collin Klein on it, who is now gone. KSU overachieved last year, their talent level really isn't that great. They are definatly not the best team in the Big 12 this year.
Regardless of the level NDSU plays at, they are solid and well coached team. They have now knocked off a FBS team four different times.
August 31st, 2013 at 12:09 AM ^
First pass was an interception; he then went 14 for 14 for 131 yards the rest of the way. Didn't throw an incompletion in the half.
August 31st, 2013 at 12:22 AM ^
only be a good unit, not a elite one. Dominating this horrible WMU offense and their backup QB doesn't mean anything. One thing is for sure MSU's offense is god awful, and their defense won't be able to score for their offense against better teams.
I would shocked if they didn't finish with 4-5 losses this year, regardless of what their defense does.
August 31st, 2013 at 12:13 AM ^
THE DEFENSE IS PLAYING THEIR TAIL OFF, AND THE OFFENSE IS SCREWING IT UP
August 31st, 2013 at 12:16 AM ^
A bit off topic from this thread, but it's news I think we all like to see.
RB Damien Harris' coach just called me to tell me Damien had a potential SportsCenter worthy run tonight. Coach said maybe 300 yards again

August 31st, 2013 at 12:18 AM ^
300 yards....again? Jesus.
August 31st, 2013 at 12:18 AM ^
Remember this, with Tate Forcier leading the way, we beat Western 31-7.
August 31st, 2013 at 12:23 AM ^
And this western team is playing their second team freshman QB.
August 31st, 2013 at 12:36 AM ^
Who played better than either of State's QBs...
August 31st, 2013 at 1:16 AM ^
Is suspended for this game.
August 31st, 2013 at 12:19 AM ^
Spartan fans can't be pleased that it has taken a herculean effort by their defense to beat WMU.
Their offense is absolutely atrocious.
August 31st, 2013 at 12:21 AM ^
Ugh. Leave it to sparty to make the weekend I've been waiting for all year SO. FRICKING. BORING.
Going to bed. See you all for the real stuff tomorrow.
