no, No, NO!!!

We do NOT need individual Sparty threads on MGoBlog...just make a thread for all CFB games tonight. MSU vs. Furman isn't special, MSU vs. OSU or MSU vs. ND is certainly understandable for obvious reasons. Just like last night when 3 App St./Tenn threads pop up because the first thread was devoted to the B1G.

Just make it all college football and keep the conversation in one thread. This way MSU vs. Furman folks can get the score of say...KSU vs. Stanford and vice versa. Can't we all just be together?

What's wrong with the old fashioned "College Football Open Thread?"

Last I heard, most predictive sites were optimistically giving Furman about a 1.0% chance of winning, and I think that might only be because giving an answer less than one would just look weird on the page. 

However, it is a non-zero chance, however small, right?

so I wouldn't get my hopes up.  F

Furman's not a mid-major that might be good. They're more likely to be closer to Baby Seal U. Maybe Furman can receive the opening kickoff and keep it tied for five minutes.

than that and just imploded/mailed it in.

I don't follow them, but I think just brooming the coach that obviously lost the team and bring in a new coach gets them 3 or 4 wins this year.  (Without even knowing anything about the coach.)

Even with that, from 2007-2015 Central Florida has a better over all record.  Over the last ten seasons the record is more even with both teams having 73 wins and UM with 51 losses edging out CF with their 56.

I don't know how much zero losses had to do with an aged HC taking extra naps or they just don't have the players.  This I do know, Scott Frost will hold nothing back and will have his boys prepared as well as possible to meet Michigan. Besides, I love the indirect historical significance of Scott Frost coaching a team against Michigan.

A +1 is waiting for you if you change the title to Friday night football or the like. Friday night early games, something like that. Colorado also plays tonight and are on the schedule

I will take very little from this game.  They have not looked good in any of their openers the last several years or heck in any of their years.  They show weaknesses and holes in their opener yet by mid October they are rolling along.  I will just watch and root for Furman but won't get too excited if msu looks like garbage tonite.

Watch their OL. I know the DL lacks depth for them but I'm not as familiar there, but their D could be fine. But with a new QB and little experience at WR, the run game will be essential. Scott is a very good back, but if they can't block and can't throw it won't matter. Their OL is very thin, and I think the starting tackles are weak. Pass pro is probably going to be a bigger concern. And if one of the starting tackles goes down, they approach Doom very quickly.

Change title to Friday Night Open Thread?

Stanford vs. Kansas State later

Colorado vs. Colorado State

(I don't want to mention that team down in Waco; they don't get recognition on this board)

Caught part of the MSU pregame show on the radio and what do you know? Logically, they were talking about Michigan. Taking shots at the satellite camps and "just not understanding" all the hype. It's like okay guys, I thought OSU was your main rival now. 

Tyler O'Connor throws 3 picks tonight.
