So I am watching the Michigan State vs Western Michigan game. MSU offense has looked dreadful. The game is almost over, they have scored one offensive touchdown, but two defensive tds. The Big ten network announcers are acting like they are world beaters. It happens every year. Announcers pump sunshine left and right about the heavily favored team, even when the team has disappointed dramatically. I just do not understand it.

I don't know what to say other than that one MSU DB is very good!

To the point where they go out of the way to DEFEND the massive disappointment?

Or what about Clowney? Football is a team sport, not fricking hollywood.

The INT that Drummond had was pretty ridiculous. It looked like some of the Mo Claiborne picks.

I didn't watch the entire game but were they running away from him and double teaming him like NC was doing to Clowney or was he just not making plays?

Matt Millen didn't talk about Nkemdiche nearly as much as he did Laquan Treadwell. Check my history of threads started if you want a little evidence.

Definitely.

I'm not scared of the Children's Brigade Ole Miss will trot out against LSU. We've got at least two CBs as good as Andre Hal or better and our OL will be pulling the Number Six on opposing defenses by the second game.

They said that TODAY? After Ole Piss almost lost to Vandy? I mean, it would be retarded to not have LSU in the top 3 at any point but especially after last night!

I hate when they talk nonstop about a player who isn't doing anything.

I think Hawaii has a better offense than Michigan State.
