Noon Game Thread

Submitted by alum96 on November 14th, 2015 at 11:59 AM

Our first and second most important rivals face off in Champaign (ABC) and then our fifth most important rival hosts the Turrible Terps (ESPN2).

Just from a curiosity standpoint perhaps the widest line I can recall seeing btw 2 teams from the same P5 conf is today where TCU is favored by 45 over the smoldering remains of Charlie Weiss (FS1). Who is still getting paid!

For those who hate their eyeballs, I present to you the BTN game with Purdue traveling to NW. The Flailing Narduzzis travel to Duke in a game there can be no winners on ESPNU. Whodda thunk GA v Auburn would be a meaningless Nov game back in August? (CBS)

You don't need to remind, just my weekly obligatory; How the FUCK did we lose to MSU?

Well they played a much, much better game against us that they're playing right now. But yeah, there's a reason we had the lead the whole game.

They are the very definition of a team that plays up or down to its opponent's level. This is nowhere near the same MSU we had to play. Also, refs.

Meh, Connor Cook's arm is dangling by a thread in this game, and in ours he was consistently threading them in tiny windows. Not exactly apples to apples.

I cannot fathom how MD can have no QB. Well, at least Florida has an execuse.

On days like today, it's really apparent just how awful the lower half of the conference is. Embarrassing.

Some of the MAC teams would have played better. NIU, BGSU, West Mich, Toledo would have played a better game than some of the B1G teams. Embarrassing.

WF and BC both have offenses as bad as Maryland's. The ACC also has GT who is a train wreck.

If not for flukes and shitshow officials, we dominate this Sparty team. I don't care if we're on the road next year, I really like our chances going forward.

Sparty reminds me of the self-declared alpha male you see every now and then come into the bar. At first, he projects confidence and has no trouble approaching and interacting with some of the more attractive girls. Slowly, however, each girl starts to see him for who he really is and the cracks begin to show. As the hours pass, he has to continue to lower his standards until you see him at closing time dancing with the ugly girl (Maryland) and desperately attempting to get her to go home with him in an attempt to validate his night.

Does anymore have pictures of Spartan Stadium being bare or somewhat empty. A friend claims because of gun season starts tomorrow that its the reason that there are empty seats. I stated that its been like this for most of the season. Now its about bad weather and whatever the fuck excuse you can think of. Anyways pics appreciated so that i can just send them quick. Thanks and go blue!

Don't even waste your breath. They will employ all kinds of mental gymnastics to spin any negative as a non-issue.

I don't understand that MSU commercial. "If we don't do it, who will? Spartans will." That makes no sense.

I still think that says so much more about him that some people think. That's why I don't think he'll be as high of a draft pick, even if he has the athletic potential. If you can't lead and inspire a team around you, the team will fall apart a la the redskins

Well being up 10 the game is probably in hand against an abysmal Maryland team, and Dantonio knows if he wants to have any glimmer of hope of beating OSU next week, Cook needs to be healthy.
