Mr. Fun says, "Okay, here's what we're going to do... How many guys here want to talk about Michigan State? One? Two? Why don't you two guys go back there, in the corner, and talk about the Spartans..."

Sorry, we usually only let Section 1 out of his cage to go after the Freep. Someone must have fallen asleep on guard duty today...

Gholston is a terror. He was very impressive in every game I saw last year of Sparty, and I hope he is so good (ex the Michigan game) this year he takes his talent to south beach... or the NFL. Their defense as a whole is impressive with the LBs as well, will be interesting to see how they do without Worthy but Gholston could be on his way to a top 10 pick if he continues as last year's pace. Have no idea how Maxwell will do but it looks like Ohio (State) North with a good RB corp, servicable QB, and a ton of defensive talent.

"4 or 5 stars are the norm" Which team are they talking about?

- Gholston looks great - LBs look good - who knows on that interior DL - Cook is inaccurate - don't see any playmakers on Offense - depth on OL is poor - apparently this OL can't block a Sparty A gap blitz either. Are these guys invisible? - Nick Hill looks less electric - lol B1G announcer saying 4/5 star recruits are now the norm for Sparty pretty much what was expected

MSU also foolishly debuted next year's version of "Little Giants" and "Mousetrap".

Fortunately, Sparty seems prone to fumbling.

We'll have Roundtree and Gallon, but I'm a little worried about who will fill Hemmingway's shoes of a big down field threat.

I am ashamed that I am sitting in front of my tv watching this steaming pile of poo.

My conclusions:

Cook is a freshman and plays like it

There's a lot of swagger on the sidelines and on the field after the play. Reminds me of Miami (YTM) of the 80s. Dude's standing over each other after a hit. Posing after an INT.

Tommy Gholson on the sidelines with a knee wrapped. Hope he didn't injure it while lining up as a safety.

Speaking of Tom, his team justy lost. Enjoy your weenie, big fella.

And finally, some parting comments from Sam the Eagle. Very humble, as usual: "We're a good football team" "Very impressed with our defense" "We'll hit people" Quite a contrast from that guy in Ann Arbor.
