That "recap" by the BTN halftime show may be the most "2X padded bra" ever in terms of misleading what is actually going on.
August 30th, 2013 at 10:40 PM ^
Lol, BTN guys called out Drummond for his Denard eating thing.
August 30th, 2013 at 10:41 PM ^
Watching those highlights, Drummond had a sick interception. We may return to disliking State.
August 30th, 2013 at 10:42 PM ^
I don't do this often, but I went over to RMCB to see what the reaction is. You gotta check it out. Hilarious!
August 30th, 2013 at 10:44 PM ^
August 30th, 2013 at 10:48 PM ^
Yeah, I look and the first conversation I see is one dude offering and another accepting blumpkins in a port-a-potty. Thanks for that.
August 30th, 2013 at 10:43 PM ^
THIS IS MLIVE

August 30th, 2013 at 10:46 PM ^
starting to feel MUCH better about our O-Line after watching Sparty try to execute their cluster-F of an offense.

It's just one half. Quite the overreaction, no?
August 30th, 2013 at 10:58 PM ^
Against a team that went 4-8 last year.
And it's not like this offense was any good, and that defense was competent but definitely has lost talent.
But given your posting history, I'm not surprised you are being contradictory.
August 30th, 2013 at 11:08 PM ^
To say something similar after their first couple games would be plausible, but not after the first half of the first game of the year. It's too small of a sample size.
August 30th, 2013 at 11:03 PM ^
August 30th, 2013 at 11:11 PM ^
I agree with everything you said.
August 30th, 2013 at 10:54 PM ^
The heavy rain and lightning is screwing with my TV signal. I may have to depend on you guys for game updates.
August 30th, 2013 at 11:10 PM ^
There is one hell of a lightning display here in southern Wayne County, but no rain or really much wind as yet.
Some generally interesting stats - both teams are 33% on third down conversions right now, and neither team has exceeded 200 yards of offense as yet, although perhaps that return changes this.
August 30th, 2013 at 10:58 PM ^
Just got home from work, time to sit down and pray my alma mater can this one off. Row the boat!
EDIT: Can anyone inform me on what happened to Van Tubbergen?? I was pretty excited to see if he could indeed be an improvement over Carder, like he was last year
August 30th, 2013 at 10:59 PM ^
I highly doubt. MSU is superb at struggling with MAC teams before putting them away. They did it with EMU last year. It seems only CMU is capable of beating the Spartans.
August 30th, 2013 at 11:02 PM ^
I didn't expect it to be this close, and while I'd love a win, I'm content with seeing Western get better. I hope they finally have a coach that can get them from being a 6-6 team to being a 9-3 team that can at least contend in the MAC.
August 30th, 2013 at 10:56 PM ^
and not giving it away. That at least is one good trend.
August 30th, 2013 at 10:57 PM ^
August 30th, 2013 at 10:58 PM ^
Stadium looked half empty when the game restarted.
August 30th, 2013 at 10:58 PM ^
I know it's late and there was a weather delay, but did anyone else just see how empty parts of their stadium are?
August 30th, 2013 at 11:01 PM ^
August 30th, 2013 at 11:07 PM ^
August 30th, 2013 at 11:00 PM ^
Only way MSU can get into the backfield is by blitzing. Their DL isn't doing much.
August 30th, 2013 at 11:00 PM ^
MSU is going to figure it out this half. They'll build a solid lead by the 4th Q. Or not and I'll laugh my ass off.
August 30th, 2013 at 11:02 PM ^
They'll be okay, but the fact this offense has struggled this much is not good, regardless of who wins.
August 30th, 2013 at 11:01 PM ^
"And yes, that score is correct"
August 30th, 2013 at 11:03 PM ^
This NDSU-KSU game is awesome
August 30th, 2013 at 11:04 PM ^
August 30th, 2013 at 11:05 PM ^
But Western's secondary is pretty terrible.
August 30th, 2013 at 11:05 PM ^
Pretty bad that Western's front 4 is getting more penetration than State's DL.
August 30th, 2013 at 11:05 PM ^
August 30th, 2013 at 11:06 PM ^
Maxwell will not survive ND. Nix is going to eat him.
August 30th, 2013 at 11:06 PM ^
the ND-MSU game should be...entertaining.
August 30th, 2013 at 11:05 PM ^
Do either of these teams realize they can fair-catch a punt? Some big hits on returns so far.
August 30th, 2013 at 11:07 PM ^
Why does BTN2Go close out of the game at every commercial break? Pretty annoying to have to drag the game back onto the screen.
