Game Thread: vs. Michigan State - 10/16 @ Noon - FS1

[Hovadipo]

Early game thread coming off the bye week. You’re going to have serious trouble convincing me MSU is the 10th best team in the country, but whatever. Kenneth Walker is an absolute monster, though. *upon further review, KW3 might be an inflated phony* Contain him and we’re just dealing with the same QB we mauled for most of the game last year. Offense simply has to step up, which will be the story until it isn’t. No reason we can’t win this one. 
 

The line is Hoosiers -16 if you’re looking at @mamasa’s drunk-azz site, but MSU at -5ish everywhere else. 
 

Go Hoosiers. L.E.O.

Man this season has punched me in the gut so far. But so far this season exposed how Coach Allen is too loyal to players who need to sit out a bit.

He is also to loyal to coaching staff as well. A good program would have already shipped several of the coaching staff out

Our best chance to get a W against  the remaining ranked opponents.

hey y'all,

this weekend; Bloomington makes history..

no.. i don't mean that the Hoosiers are coming out victorious over the #10 Spartans..

 

i mean the Barrel is gonna' be in house..

 

you heard that correctly, for the first time since 1987; Ricky steps foot on Memorial grounds.

now, i know what you're thinking.. is Rickwald coming to help out the coaching staff? is he taking over for Nick Sheridan?

no.. i'm not.

 

while Tommy has been banging the hell out of my home phone asking me to do so, i don't have that kind of time on my hands. 

i'm currently in the process of building a 7,000 square foot Lego replica of Brad's Brass Flamingo in my back yard.. don't ask.

 

now; to cover the game..

we're f*cked. 

penix is injured, tuttle throws the ball like he's got christmas ornaments stuck in his rectum, and donavan mculley (my step-nephew eight times removed) hasn't seen the damn field yet. 

 

there's one way we win this football game.. one Rick-damn way..

 

toss me in the Crimson, Tom; it's BR time..

 

now, while i am 385 pounds, and in the physical shape of Bob Knight; Ricky can slang that f*cking ball.

 

if i'm not in by the 3rd drive, start chanting for the Barrel.. Tom will not silence the Banner..

 

love ya'll,

Michigan State has played the following monsters in total defense this season: #s 43, 58, 75, a bad FCS team and 123 (!). #s 54, 55, 72, a bad FCS team and 121(!) in rushing defense. Kenneth Walker III has almost 1,000 yards rushing this year? Well I’m guessing Kenneth Walker #1 could do that too with that schedule.

 

These stats fit my narrative that we’re going to win by 3 touchdowns. I will hear no rebuttals.

People think you’re kidding, but you. Are. Correct.

We will win this here football game.

Penix, unsurprisingly, out today. Tuttle in. 

[LIHoosier]

BANG!

[Stuhoo]

Fuggedaboutit, sayeth Micah 

[BtownStrength]

Jesus McFadden

[Stuhoo]

Two perfect throws by Tuttle so far

[Stuhoo]

Perfect play call against the pressing d

[Magnanimous]

We would’ve beaten Cincinnati with QB play like this. Tuttle looking great and solid play calling too.

[Stuhoo]

Jack doing EVERYTHING right so far

[Hovadipo]

It’s nice playing a top 10 team that actually stinks. Offense looking great so far. 

[HoosierAloha]

Why are we not running up the gut on every first down?

[LIHoosier]

Game ball to whoever locked Sheridan in a porto-potty.

Why did I open my mouth?!

[LIHoosier]

Wow, the long snapper wasn't dead center in the line and snapped the ball diagonally to give Campbell a better angle. I'm sure its happened before but its the first time I've ever noticed it.
