[Wade Garrett]

Just saw where Abram was not playing today due to injury. Anybody know how long he is out

[Reason2succeed]

I like how the media guide shows you which coaches are in the booth. I would want English on the sideline for his intensity but I can see why they would put him in the booth until he hasn't rehabbed his image a little more. It would be too easy for ESPN to show the tape of the sh!tbird incident again.

[ShotgunDawg]

Just saw where Abram was not playing today due to injury. Anybody know how long he is out

Probably just this week. Injury is minor

[was21]

Anticipating a solid win and also looking forward to debut of the new voice of the Bulldog

[Reason2succeed]

Also, why do I hear cowbells watching the Texas game? Do we need to patent the cowbell?!

[ShotgunDawg]

[msstate7]

Why is the South Gate entrance got a line a mile long and mile wide?

[RocketDawg]

Why is the South Gate entrance got a line a mile long and mile wide?

First come/first served on the new cabanas. Everybody wants one.

[Dolphus Raymond]

The time is near......

[msstate7]

First come/first served on the new cabanas. Everybody wants one.

Ahhh....

[ShotgunDawg]

Apparently SA39 got an enormous ovation when announced as a starter

[Dolphus Raymond]

Apparently SA39 got an enormous ovation when announced as a starter
And he deserves it. Good for him.

[Bullshooter]

nm

[RocketDawg]

We got the game in the bag then. I was worried .... **

[ShotgunDawg]

I think Charleston Southern brought about 3 people

[ShotgunDawg]

17

Andre Ware is calling the game. He sucks azz

[Commercecomet24]

Here we go!!!

HAILSTATE!

[preachermatt83]

Fitz looks smaller

[Leroy Jenkins]

nm



Rep.

[Bully13]

I'm really needing this game to take the bad taste our bowl game & the USA game left. We just were Jekyl and Hyde last year. hopefully we've put our thinking caps on for this year. we laid too many stupid turds last year.

[ShotgunDawg]

Looks like showing stomach is our new uniform trend

[ShotgunDawg]

Damn, Gabe caught a pass

[preachermatt83]

ATrain!

[preachermatt83]

Whooooooo!!! Gosh we are flying.

[ShotgunDawg]

Well Yeah

[Delmar]

I'd give that drive an A+

[Commercecomet24]

TE down the seam to stretch the field. Get used to seeing that!

[Bothrops]

Booyah

[BrunswickDawg]

Both those passes were crisp and on target

[ShotgunDawg]

Tucker Day just kicked it like he was kicking a penalty kick in soccer

[Statecoachingblows**]

Nice-nice-nice!

[BrunswickDawg]

Dan is in pants. MF learnt his lesson

[IMissJack]

Shorts only over 90 degrees**

[RocketDawg]

Their mascot is Bucky. Is he a beaver?

[redstickdawg]

I see Leo on the field for the 1st play.

[ShotgunDawg]

Brandon Bryant looks so good in a uniform

[preachermatt83]

Whose 9? Sweat? He's fast!

[ShotgunDawg]

Do we not review fumbles anymore?

I don't understand

[preachermatt83]

Brandon Bryant with the whiff on the arm tackle

[BrunswickDawg]

Do we not review fumbles anymore?

I don't understand
Pretty sure CS recovered it

[maroonmania]

Can someone tell me why there is even a replay option if it isn't used on an obvious blown call like that? Are our coaches awake?

[maroonmania]

Pretty sure CS recovered it

On the replay there didn't look to be any CS players around the ball after the fumble.

[Dawg61]

Simmons is ****ing HUGE!! He is a future 1st rounder

[Leroy Jenkins]

Fitz looks smaller

Switched from beer to whiskey.

[ShotgunDawg]

Jordan Thomas looks like Bear

[preachermatt83]

What a strong arm Fitz has. Love using these te's.

[GreenheadDawg]

Is the O-line getting their ass kicked or nah?

[RocketDawg]

Fitz is now officially a passing quarterback. Looking good.

[ShotgunDawg]

Fitz is on point boys.

He's popping it

[smootness]

Jordan Thomas looks like Bear

Bear was big, but he wasn't close to that big.

[preachermatt83]

Jesse Jackson gotten big.

[BrunswickDawg]

Anyone still worried about who is going to catch the ball this season?

[ScoobaDawg]

Jordan flying the air to get that ball.

[maroonmania]

Has a jet sweep ever worked successfully for us?

[ShotgunDawg]

I still want to see Fitz throw better on the run.

[Bothrops]

Did I see #22?

[Interpolation_Dawg_EX]

Offensive line looks weak.

[preachermatt83]

Punt it

[ScoobaDawg]

Fitz already over 100 yards passing on 2nd drive..

[preachermatt83]

Did I see #22?

ATrain is 22 now. Malik switched to 9.

[starkvegasdawg]

Offensive line looks weak.

Yes they do.

[GreenheadDawg]

Offensive line looks weak.

I was wondering if it was just me thinking that.

[ShotgunDawg]

Offensive line looks weak.

Give it some time.

That position requires chemistry. OL usually aren't at their best in the 1st quarter of the 1st game

[preachermatt83]

Anyone still worried about who is going to catch the ball this season?

Our te's are legit.

[Dawg61]

Offensive line looks weak.

70 lb advantage per man isn't enough I guess

[ShotgunDawg]

We also really aren't trying to establish Fitz on the ground, which makes things more difficult for the OL

[ScoobaDawg]

If we can't get 4 yards here against a FCS line...we have issues

[Statecoachingblows**]

Our te's are legit.

And massive

[Bothrops]

I've seen a lot of OL's look weak so far today.

[RocketDawg]

Don't think I've ever seen a TV ad for a house trailer before ....

Tusk ... did you have that put on?

[preachermatt83]

Fitz!!! OLine didn't look weak there. Whiners.

[ScoobaDawg]

Attaboy..fitz up the gut for 7

[IMissJack]

are capable. Williams up the middle has not done much yet.

[preachermatt83]

Great throw and catch.

[Commercecomet24]

Fitz is now a passer! Dang he looks sharp!

[Statecoachingblows**]

That was a laser and a great catch

[ShotgunDawg]

Bajeebus

Folks, Fitz may be gone after this year with the way the ball is coming out of his hand

He is flat out ripping it

[Delmar]

O line isn't getting any push

[preachermatt83]

Cmon atrain dang.

[Dawg61]

Oh shit here comes the kicker

[preachermatt83]

Let's see what day has!!

[Eric Nies Grind Time]

lol. another fg miss

[preachermatt83]

Oh good gosh.

[msstate7]

When's basketball start?

[ShotgunDawg]

oh boy.

That wasn't close

[BeardoMSU]

Lolz...say product, different year.

[PMDawg]

New year, same story. Crap OL, crap kicker.

[RocketDawg]

Uh oh ... kicker not looking good ....

[redstickdawg]

still don't have a kicker

[HoopsDawg]

O line isn't getting any push

LG is getting whipped.

[maroonmania]

I see FG kicking is ready to go again. **

[GreenheadDawg]

I'm sorry but their D-line is going in dry right now. We are a good midget heavier.

And just like that the kicking game strikes again!!

[preachermatt83]

Not having a kicker is inexcusable

[Drugdog]

No offensive line. No kicker.
I'm stunned!

[starkvegasdawg]

But he makes them in practice.***

[Statecoachingblows**]

Uh oh ... kicker not looking good ....

Nobody likes change***

[IMissJack]

O line isn't getting any push

Absolutely none. Getting whipped so far on any designed run between the tackles. Pitiful.

[Reason2succeed]

OL looks like trash.

[anubus]

Not again..........go get someone off soccer team..Other than fg miss, looking great

[Dawg61]

Not having a kicker is inexcusable

Not having a sense of urgency about not having a kicker is doubly inexcusable. Not remembering that you didn't practice kicking one field goal in scrimmage is triply inexcusable.

[Saltydog]

NT

[shoeless joe]

OL may not be in mid season form but at least FG kicker is

[preachermatt83]

Having said that, the snap was not good. And the hold was worse.

[ShotgunDawg]

I'm just amazed at how much Dan Mullen has allowed his philosophies on kicker recruiting to affect his career. Unreal

[BulldogBear]

Holy. . 17ing. Feces.

[Mobile Bay]

Yay, lets watch our kicking suck again!

[redstickdawg]

no blocking makes it impossible to run the ball

[starkvegasdawg]

The D looks good.

[Commercecomet24]

I'm gonna give it more than half a quarter before I melt

[preachermatt83]

D-FENCE!!! Sweat is real!! Big Cory doin work!!

[ShotgunDawg]

Defense appears well coached thus far

[BrunswickDawg]

Simmons and Thomas blowing shit up!

[BeardoMSU]

The D looks good at least. Simmons is a monster.

[maroonmania]

Not again..........go get someone off soccer team..Other than fg miss, looking great

If our FG kicking stinks then you can go ahead and shave 1 to 2 wins off of the win projection. Last year FG kicking cost us the USA, BYU and KY games.

[preachermatt83]

Boys we got us a d-coordinator!!! Our kids are tackling!!!

[TrapGame]

I'm liking this new defense.

[HoopsDawg]

We thought we had bulovas, but Bama came in with an offer. FG kicker doesn't piss me off nearly as much as O-line. We have no chance without strong front.

[Dawg61]

I'm just amazed at how much Dan Mullen has allowed his philosophies on kicker recruiting to affect his career. Unreal

It's obvious his mindset on kickers not being important outweighs winning games. That is the only reasoning that can be had when you joke around and can't remember if you even attempted one kick in scrimmage. Which you didn't.

[IMissJack]

no blocking makes it impossible to run the ball

That was what I was implying.

[Bothrops]

OL looks like trash.

Just sandbaging**

[ShotgunDawg]

We say we can't run the ball but it's fairly obvious that GS is over playing the RB. Fitz is wide open every time he pulls it.

Against LSU, he pulling it

[Dawgology]

Gotta do something about it. Someone call Cohen and get him to earmark some funds for a ST coach please.

[preachermatt83]

Lee is thick.

[Delmar]

Wow what a pass

[preachermatt83]

What a freaking missle.

[HoopsDawg]

Nick looks great!

[Commercecomet24]

Gabe may have overcome his issues! Glad to see it!

[TrapGame]

If our FG kicking stinks then you can go ahead and shave 1 to 2 wins off of the win projection. Last year FG kicking cost us the USA, BYU and KY games.

I disagree. The suck ass defense put us in that situation. Although, we should have had a kicker to make those.

[ShotgunDawg]

I'm telling ya

Nicky Fitz is ripping shit.

The conviction he is throwing in his passes is night & day from last year

[Dawgface]

On the positive side, the D looks good.

[ShotgunDawg]

Day looked good on that extra point.

Let's build on that

[preachermatt83]

Don't go br up on day yet. Telling u the snap and hold on that fg was pitiful. 2 for 2 on Xp so far.

[PMDawg]

I'm gonna give it more than half a quarter before I melt

Slacker**

[maroonmania]

We thought we had bulovas, but Bama came in with an offer. FG kicker doesn't piss me off nearly as much as O-line. We have no chance without strong front.

I'm more pissed about FG kicker because its a much easier fix. You are telling me that after not get Bulovas that we couldn't find a high level JUCO kicker to come in and be just a reliable kicker inside 40 yards. That ball that Tucker Day just kicked looked like he had no control on accuracy, have to hope that was an aberration.

[Drugdog]

Seriously. Is Leo playing? I haven't seen him

[BeardoMSU]

Fitz is lookin' strong.

[smootness]

I'm telling ya

Nicky Fitz is ripping shit.

The conviction he is throwing in his passes is night & day from last year

He looks good. But it is Charleston Southern, and he needs to be more consistent in setting his feet.

[Commercecomet24]

We say we can't run the ball but it's fairly obvious that GS is over playing the RB. Fitz is wide open every time he pulls it.

Against LSU, he pulling it

Yep! Good call!

[preachermatt83]

I'm telling ya

Nicky Fitz is ripping shit.

The conviction he is throwing in his passes is night & day from last year

Yup. He is slamming that thing through tight windows like it's nothing. I'm talking hosing that sucker.

[IMissJack]

Not having a sense of urgency about not having a kicker is doubly inexcusable. Not remembering that you didn't practice kicking one field goal in scrimmage is triply inexcusable.

When our kickers come in, it looks like their blood pressure and heart rate doubles. Pure panic.

[Dawg61]

Don't go br up on day yet. Telling u the snap and hold on that fg was pitiful. 2 for 2 on Xp so far.

Ok Ill try to not give up on him already but that first XP was 4 feet off the ground

[Commercecomet24]

Day looked good on that extra point.

Let's build on that

Yeah the kid looks to have a heckuva leg!

[TUSK]

Don't think I've ever seen a TV ad for a house trailer before ....

Tusk ... did you have that put on?

Yes, click an ad, MFer!!!!*

[smootness]

Seriously. Is Leo playing? I haven't seen him

He's #10 now. He's out there.

[ShotgunDawg]

WOW

[preachermatt83]

Let me tell u something boys... our defense is real.

[BrunswickDawg]

Fletch just destroyed the Qb

[PMDawg]

We thought we had bulovas, but Bama came in with an offer. FG kicker doesn't piss me off nearly as much as O-line. We have no chance without strong front.

We did have him. I work with a man whose son is B's best friend. Told me multiple times he was coming to MSU

[preachermatt83]

Whooo!!

[Commercecomet24]

Slacker**

I think it's my old age kicking in. Don't panic as much as I used to in my younger days lol

[Dawg61]

Everyone do your Safety Dance!


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjPau5QYtYs

[Drugdog]

He's #10 now. He's out there.

Ok. Thanks!!

[Dawgface]

Yep, the D looks real good.

[BrunswickDawg]

Gray!!!!

[ShotgunDawg]

You guys may be still frustrated, but we some ingredients on this team. Like top 15 ranked ingredients.

It all has to come together though

[Delmar]

That's what i'm talking about Gray

[DLGDawg]

Hit the fg solid. Just didn't clear. Made sure he did on extra point. Actually had a little draw. I like the way he looks. Hopefully he can find that sweet spot.


Day looked good on that extra point.

Let's build on that

[preachermatt83]

I told y'all the other day, Donald gray is electric returning kicks.

[Commercecomet24]

Our D is fast and aggressive! What a difference!

[BrunswickDawg]

You guys may be still frustrated, but we some ingredients on this team. Like top 15 ranked ingredients.

It all has to come together though
Bitches gots to bitch mane!

[ShotgunDawg]

Kylin in

[preachermatt83]

Hill playing!!!!

[BrunswickDawg]

Hill is a man

[ShotgunDawg]

Kylin is a beast.

Frank Gore

[Dawg61]

Hill looks goooooood

[preachermatt83]

Omg Kylin!!!

[Delmar]

Hill looking good

[IMissJack]

Ok, I have watched about 5 games so far this year, and MSU is the only team I have seen get the coaches out of the box 15 yd penalty. You think they are going to call Saban or Fisher on that?

[TrapGame]

Kylin Hill is a MAN!!

[smootness]

KYLIN HILL YALL

[ShotgunDawg]

Folks, that is an SEC running back right there

Frank Gore clone

[BrunswickDawg]

Now THAT is an MSU running back. Hill is going to be a hoss

[RocketDawg]

Hill looks REALLY good. 3 straight carries.

[Commercecomet24]

Hit the fg solid. Just didn't clear. Made sure he did on extra point. Actually had a little draw. I like the way he looks. Hopefully he can find that sweet spot.

Thank you!

[anubus]

Let's drop 70 on em nooooo mercy😈

[preachermatt83]

ATrain!!! OLine blocking now. Reese doing work!!!

[Delmar]

O line did some work on that drive

[RocketDawg]

When do we put the subs in? Who's going to sub for Fitz?

[ShotgunDawg]

OL looking better yet?

[preachermatt83]

Whooooo!!!!

[IMissJack]

Simmons is unbelievably built. Has he slimmed down?

[Commercecomet24]

Well we scored there on all runs. Kylin Hill is gonna be a stud! Our run game is gonna be just fine!

[RocketDawg]

Florida and Michigan tied at 10 now. Might not be a Michigan runaway.

[PMDawg]

OL looked better there.

[IMissJack]

ATrain!!! OLine blocking now. Reese doing work!!!

Reese looks the part, hopefully he can continue to develop into something special.

[ShotgunDawg]

Well we scored there on all runs. Kylin Hill is gonna be a stud! Our run game is gonna be just fine!

Frank Gore

[Leroy Jenkins]

I don't think we are breaking open the playbook vs Charleston So.

[IMissJack]

OL looked better there.

Hill running downhill.

[Dawgface]

No So AL performance today. Bullies came to play.

[BrunswickDawg]

A kick thru the EZ - WTF???

[Dawg61]

When do we put the subs in? Who's going to sub for Fitz?

Hope it's Key

[ShotgunDawg]

Holy shit.

Grantham is a bad ass

[HoopsDawg]

atta boy Cam!

[BrunswickDawg]

Nice Cam!

[Commercecomet24]

Frank Gore

That's a good comp! Built the same runs the same!

[Statecoachingblows**]

Uh oh ... kicker not looking good ....

Nobody likes change***

[BrunswickDawg]

-15 in total O for CSU - Holy Shit!

[TUSK]

Florida and Michigan tied at 10 now. Might not be a Michigan runaway.

Michigan is working UF pretty good... UM WR missed a catch for a UF pick 6....

UF's not out of it by any stretch, though... and I hope they win....

[HoopsDawg]

Man, we look fast and we are playing fast.

[Commercecomet24]

Good thing Sirmon trained these guys last year********

[HaggardDawg]

Dez Harris has impressed me so far. Dude hit the weights in he off-season.

[ShotgunDawg]

This is easily the best we've since 2014.

Super impressive players at every level

[Statecoachingblows**]

I know the competition isn't a great measuring tool at the moment, but I don't remember us playing like this on D against anybody in quite a while.

[RezDog7]

I know it's Charleston Southern but this defense is night and day. Good luck Louisville, you're gonna need it.

[RocketDawg]

Another pick 6 for Florida (flipping over during our commercials). 17-10 now.

[PMDawg]

Michigan is working UF pretty good... UM WR missed a catch for a UF pick 6....

UF's not out of it by any stretch, though... and I hope they win....

Me too

[Dawg61]

-15 in total O for CSU - Holy Shit!

Haha

[Commercecomet24]

It looks like Grantham may have changed some attitudes on defense!

[Bothrops]

I beginning to think we got the better deal trading DC's with Louisville**

[preachermatt83]

We are knocking snot bubbles out there!! I love it!! This is bulldawg football.

[ShotgunDawg]

That's a good comp! Built the same runs the same!

It's spot on mane

Just thought of it as well. Had to see him run in a game & it looked exactly the same

[Delmar]

I'm ready to give Grantham a raise already

[GreenheadDawg]

Man it's nice to see our defensive look like they know where they are supposed to be. Love it. Also, O-line looking better.

[TUSK]

Michigan is working UF pretty good... UM WR missed a catch for a UF pick 6....

UF's not out of it by any stretch, though... and I hope they win....

Back to back pick 6s....

SUCK it, Harbough... 17-10 UF

[preachermatt83]

Simmons is unbelievably built. Has he slimmed down?

Yes. Through the waist for sure. He's built like a freaking Greek god.

[Commercecomet24]

It's spot on mane

Just thought of it as well. Had to see him run in a game & it looked exactly the same

The similarity is uncanny!

[BeardoMSU]

I know the competition isn't a great measuring tool at the moment, but I don't remember us playing like this on D against anybody in quite a while.

This^^^. Even in holding teams to low points, we still always gave up a ton of yards between the 20's....not today so far. We looking ****ing different.

[preachermatt83]

Jenkins gotta get the dang snap up.

[preachermatt83]

I love the fact that our receivers seems to have improved their hands.

[Dawg61]

Start Hill vs LSU

[Dolphus Raymond]

This^^^. Even in holding teams to low points, we still always gave up a ton of yards between the 20's....not today so far. We looking ****ing different.

And this against and option oriented opponent.

[ShotgunDawg]

Yikes blocking on 3rd & short

[preachermatt83]

We crap. Mullen is ticked.

[IMissJack]

Just showed Mullen on the sideline, looked pissed about something. Intensity back?

[ShotgunDawg]

Mullen is doing all he can to establish the running without Fitz running. It's critical to Fitz having huge games in big games

[BeardoMSU]

Intensity back?

He's been reading ED**

[HoopsDawg]

Ugh, not a fan of the punt.

[preachermatt83]

ATrain didn't look to be at 100 percent on that last carry. Pulled up a little.

[BeardoMSU]

Mullen is doing all he can to establish the running without Fitz running. It's critical to Fitz having huge games in big games

Agreed, but no need for him to take extra hits against Charleston Southern.

[Commercecomet24]

Ugh, not a fan of the punt.

Me either but I think Dan getting Logan some work and a great punt.

[MarketingBully]

Mullen is doing all he can to establish the running without Fitz running. It's critical to Fitz having huge games in big games

Not if we start Hill. He's the only RB we have that is actually running through the holes our OL is creating. Our other RBs are just expecting holes to be where they go. It doesn't work that way.

[smootness]

ATrain didn't look to be at 100 percent on that last carry. Pulled up a little.

How could you even evaluate that? He had a defender in the backfield immediately.

[Commercecomet24]

Outside of missed fg our special teams have been good.

[MarketingBully]

ATrain didn't look to be at 100 percent on that last carry. Pulled up a little.

He hasn't run worth a shit except when Hill was showing them all up.

[preachermatt83]

I'm telling y'all sweat is on every single tackle.

[ShotgunDawg]

FIRE GRANTHAM

GD FIRST DOWN

[BrunswickDawg]

We gave up a 1st down? Fire Grantham!!!****

[RocketDawg]

Maybe we'll see Key in second half to make sure Fitz is not injured. That's always a worry.

[IMissJack]

Willie Gay...

[preachermatt83]

Willie gay sighting!!!

[ShotgunDawg]

Willie Gay is a stud

[RezDog7]

Willie Gay with the play

[preachermatt83]

Who is #7.
