Early Games Open Thread

Will the Florida Atlantic Owls prevail at home in downtown Detroit against Sparty?  Will the game sell out?  Will Schnelly get lower than a .18 BAC during the game?

Discuss.

Also, if you have an iron liver, drink every time the announcers mention FAU is the home team.  You're behind three drinks as of 11:53.

Came here to post this exact thought. Everyone knew he was coming on that 3rd and 1 at the 2 yd line, just pushed through a decent tackle. You know, he would be a fun player to watch in the Maize and Blue, but it's nice to see hometown kids playing well in front of family and friends. Must be a lot of fun for him.

Is it just me? First time looking at State this year. Maybe I am caught in a dilithium vortex, but man... from what I am seeing... our team speed not just a notch faster.... leaps and bounds...  

 

Initial observation.

My only question is does the FAU and mooU bands make up more than half the fans in attendance??

I guess this officially makes mooU the #1 program in the state of michigan. We could only hope to bring in 10k at ford field.

FAU has to be furious at the turnout.  FAU played this game to keep its average home attendance about the 15000 NCAA minimum.  Unfortunately for them, Sparty didn't sell any tickets and FAU blew it's whole marketing budget.

It' bad enough I only get ESPNU in low-definition, but then State's uniforms on top of that?  Just too ugly.  I'd rather stare at the piss Christ for three hours.

These announcers are morons. One guy just said: "michigan state getting back to what they do well. shutting down the opponents offense." This is not what state does well. Then in the middle of a rugby style punt he yells out its a fake. Full of fail

Wow, that's awful.  Now I'm really glad I'm not watching it.

How can you be the announcer for an MSU game and not know the "thing they do well" is called "aggravated assault?"

UConn up 24-0. Minnesota losing 14-3 against South Dakota. Boy do they suck. Purdue still tied with W. Illinois. And lol at Florida-losing 7-0 to USF. They are without a doubt the most overrated team in football. They shouldn't even be ranked.
