BTN just announced that Conklin and Price are playing, Hicks out...

Allen game time decision.

Makes it easier on Jake.  I assume Allen will play if he >50% but Glasgow should destroy him if he is not 80%+.

Although the storyline afterwards will be...

"Hats off to Coach Harbaugh and Michigan on the win, I'm really proud of the way our guys battled today. We have a number of guys beat up...guys who we didn't even know if they'd play earlier in the week...really proud of how they fought and representive MSU football."

Already up...

I really wanted to see how Memphis would play in this game Memphis is playing well this year, I wanted to see if they could hang. If Ole Miss gets up 2 scores I'm going to another game.

I already switched it to Louisville/FSU on the big screen and Iowa/NW on the other TV.

I just like watching Ole Miss because of their offense and defense, it's interesting to see what money can buy these days. They've got some GREAT NFL talent - just not the best team.

I assume with Hicks out they move Cox back to corner and then they have a true freshman safety.  UM must destroy that.

Otherwise they keep Cox at safety and put in a true freshman corner. I might do that route because corner has a simpler job in that defense esp in run.

It's not like there are that many seats...Chicago's a fun sports town too. I don't see why more folks don't get behind NW. But all of those people who aren't even from the midwest immediately adopt the Cubs like it's a birthright.

If I was an out of towner...I'd definiely adopt NW as my "other" team when my team isn't playing. The tickets can't be that much...they're a pretty loveable team too. I dunno, maybe it's just me.

Really not worried about Cook. Think Mangum is a good pocket passer and UM locked him down. Cook is better, but also has limited options.

I'm not saying he's a bad QB. He's not...this isn't one of those, because I don't think you're elite I think you're ass.

But he's not a first round NFL talent.

He's Brian Hoyer. He's Kirk Cousins. He's a solid backup NFL QB. Nothing to sneeze at...still can have a great career.

But people acting like he's a top 5 prospect are fools, IMO.

In a way...he's just a better version of Jake Rudock. But I'm not afraid of that. Just like I wasn't afraid of Hoyer or Cousins or Brady Quinn or Jimmy Clausen. All of those guys are solid...all can be beat...none are going to carry a team.

I'll take our defense over Cook 11 times out of 10. No homer.
