Game day thread sponsored by French's mustard and the surface of the sun

[starkvegasdawg]

That's right. Dual sponsors for this game. Time to get out there and sweat our balls off cheering the team to win #2. Somebody needs to sneak in some cookie dough and take pictures of it cooking on the bleachers beside them.

[Dawgbite]

I don’t know how to link it but everybody need to listen to Gary Busey’s public service announcement about “The Swamp Ass” from the John Boy and Billy Show. I heard it yesterday and there is a lot of helpful information in there.

[starkvegasdawg]

If you were wanting some of the new concession items and sit in the upper deck then you're out of luck. Only offering those items in lower deck.

[Scared_Hitless]

D looks better at least they have energy today

[magrooder]

How was that not a late hit?

[vv83]

How was that not a late hit?

Terrible miss

[magrooder]

Osirus with the GREAT catch for the TD!!

[BrunswickDawg]

Stevens on point today

[vv83]

My good offense is night and day with TS back there

[Scared_Hitless]

Stevens can play that is all

[msstate7]

Outstanding drive

[Dildoes]

That’s an NFL pass and catch, ladies and germs

[PMDawg]

We look night and day different from last week so far. Hope to be eating crow about 3 hours from now.

[RocketDawg]

How was that not a late hit?

It was a blatant one.

I'm liking Tommy Stevens. That guy is good. And a nice catch by Osirus too.

[Dawgology]

Mitchell has raised his game. That was a good pass but a great catch.

[Cooterpoot]

I really want to drop 40+ on USM.

[gravedigger]

Any more people still unsure about why our offense didn?t work last year?

Because we could not do THAT.

[Commercecomet24]

I really want to drop 40+ on USM.

Me too their few fans that live down here annoy the heck out of me!

[Commercecomet24]

Any more people still unsure about why our offense didn?t work last year?

Because we could not do THAT.

This!

[BrunswickDawg]

Any more people still unsure about why our offense didn?t work last year?

Because we could not do THAT.

And it shows how much Joe DID change our offense to work with what we had.

[TrapGame]

Any more people still unsure about why our offense didn?t work last year?

Because we could not do THAT.

Should be obvious by now.

[Cooterpoot]

Still playing soft on defense today. We obviously aren’t going to show much before we have to.

[PMDawg]

Oh come on D! Geez.

[magrooder]

Oh come on D! Geez.

What he said. Not slowing southern down much at all.

[msstate7]

Oh come on D! Geez.

They pretty much suck. Simmons, sweat, and Abram were game changers

[Dawgology]

Interior of our D line is garbage. Ugh.

[PMDawg]

Lucky no PI there

[magrooder]

Good stop by the D.

[Cooterpoot]

Dantzler, Mitchell, Hill, and Stevens starting the season off great.

[PMDawg]

Nice kick. Lmao

[TrapGame]

All the bitching about the D and USM scored ZERO on that drive.

[msstate7]

Keep in mind, usm has no RBs... they're just using WRs to run on us. Next week is gonna be a really big test for our run defense

[Matt3467]

Keep in mind, usm has no RBs... they're just using WRs to run on us. Next week is gonna be a really big test for our run defense

Yea think Kstate had over 300yds rushing today

[IMissJack]

They pretty much suck. Simmons, sweat, and Abram were game changers

Yep, generational type players. However, we lost some coaches too, wonder how much that affects things?

[msstate7]

All the bitching about the D and USM scored ZERO on that drive.
I'm not sure how to respond to this... usm isn't a team to measure ourselves against. If they can move the ball, what do you think sec teams are gonna do? Sure, usm hasn't scored, but they've crossed into our territory on both drives

[Dawgology]

All the bitching about the D and USM scored ZERO on that drive.

I think it’s less about them getting points and more that their backup running back is gashing the interior of our line. That at least concerns me.

[msstate7]

Yea think Kstate had over 300yds rushing today

2nd straight week

[Doggie_Style]

Surprised to see Autry today

[msstate7]

Now the offense looks good.

[Cooterpoot]

Saw where Keg and Barrel in Hburg copies the Strange Brew game slogan.

[Commercecomet24]

Tommy's is pretty dang good at pre snap reads

[magrooder]

Osirus making plays today!

[msstate7]

Tommy's is pretty dang good at pre snap reads

He's killing it

[Cooterpoot]

Damn Hill!

[Matt3467]

LOL KYLIN!!!

[Scared_Hitless]

Hill is so damn good. They are respecting Tommy it hurt them there

[PMDawg]

Hill is a beast

[chef dixon]

Wait but certain ED people say USM defense very scary

[BeardoMSU]

Wait but certain ED people say USM defense very scary

Plenty of time left for them to shut us down***

[Matt3467]

Wait but certain ED people say USM defense very scary

Didn't say anything but I believe I saw somewhere that USM had the 3rd best Defense in Total D last year.

[TrapGame]

If we let USM continue to gash us I'll get worried. They are showing us all they have right now to game plan around their starting RB being out. If we start shutting that down I think we all can take a breath.

[Commercecomet24]

I think we got a qb guys

[TrapGame]

Guidry!!!!

[msstate7]

Wait but certain ED people say USM defense very scary

I thought they'd slow us down more than this. This offense looks great. Tommy looks like a huge steal

[magrooder]

Guidry with the TD over the middle!

[PMDawg]

I don't see anyone worrying about our offense. It's the DL that concerns folks, as it should.

[GreenheadDawg]

If we had Stevens last year, holy shit, what could have been.

[Scared_Hitless]

This is impressive to watch. Wish we had last years D we would have won the whole damn thing.

[Prentis]

Offense running like a well oiled machine. Now it time for the D to tighten up.

[BeardoMSU]

This guy is good. Plus, it's great to see our WR's actually catching the ball.

[gravedigger]

I distinctly remember a certain coach telling us all about the prowess of usm defense and to bet that we would not cover.

He may end up being right. I guess.

Perhaps we should be running it more. I guess.

[DownwardDawg]

Tommy is really good.

[PMDawg]

Poor tackling showing up again. Come on guys!

[msstate7]

Tommy is really good.

I'm impressed

[PMDawg]

Nice hit on the QB there.

[MedDawg]

Erroll Thompson looked pretty fast on that blitz

[PMDawg]

Long completion bc we can't get pressure

ETA : looks like usm got away with a hold

[ShotgunDawg]

Our defense is softer than tissue

[ShotgunDawg]

Why is Lee Autry playing?

[msstate7]

Defense bows up

[PMDawg]

Strip sack!

[BrunswickDawg]

Our defense is softer than tissue

Last two plays make this post look dumb

[Cooterpoot]

Defense is ok. Just playing base.

[TrapGame]

Why is Lee Autry playing?

Son, you late!!!

[BeardoMSU]

I'm impressed

Did you intentionally leave off the asterisks, lol?

[Tbonewannabe]

I thought they'd slow us down more than this. This offense looks great. Tommy looks like a huge steal

Tommy is making throws that Dak did his Junior and Senior year.

[DownwardDawg]

I guess the bend but don’t break D is back. Whatever works is fine I guess.

[ShotgunDawg]

Son, you late!!!

Yup. Why is he playing?

[TrapGame]

Defense is ok. Just playing base.

That's what I was thinking. When Shoop lets them off the chain they tear it up.

[ShotgunDawg]

Tommy is making throws that Dak did his Junior and Senior year.

Shhh. You’ll get castrated for saying that

[Scared_Hitless]

Honestly D looks to miss more assignments than anything. They are young.

[Cooterpoot]

Yup. Why is he playing?

Because he’s not suspended

[magrooder]

Yup. Why is he playing?

All we really know is, he isn't suspended today.

[HoopsDawg]

1st string dline much better than 2nd string.

[Cooterpoot]

That's what I was thinking. When Shoop lets them off the chain they tear it up.

We still got some issues but we’re better than we’ve looked due to just playing base for the most part.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Autry is blowing them up. Head and shoulders above our other DTs and probably our 2nd best overall DL behind Rivers

[HoopsDawg]

Shit first down play call leads to a punt.

[Cooterpoot]

One thing every great player I’ve worked with has is calmness and control. You can’t learn it, and Stevens has it.

[magrooder]

Like to see a three and out by the D while they are penned back deep.

[MedDawg]

Tucker Day has had 3 punts--to the 1 yard line, the 1 yard line, and the 8 yard line.

[Scared_Hitless]

Needed hill there

[TrapGame]

We still got some issues but we’re better than we’ve looked due to just playing base for the most part.

We're shallow on depth for sure. Our 1st string line is pretty good but their subs are a couple of notches below them.

[TimberBeast]

3rd and 1 and Hill is on the bench. Just dumb.

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

I'd have gone for it, but our OL looked like it had no energy that drive

[Commercecomet24]

Because he’s not suspended

This

[DownwardDawg]

I'm impressed


I’m pleasantly surprised he’s looking this good. I was hoping

[starkvegasdawg]

Guy in stands in section 338 having serious medical issue. Were performing cpr in stands.

[Commercecomet24]

We still got some issues but we’re better than we’ve looked due to just playing base for the most part.

Yeah and were tightening up when we need to and we're getting pressure on qb

[TrapGame]

Thanks D.

[chef dixon]

D is improving as the game goes on

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Handoff? thanks for the bad call shitbirds

[Dawgology]

Guy in stands in section 338 having serious medical issue. Were performing cpr in stands.

Happens almost every year at our hottest games. That’s a shame.

[Dawgology]

D is improving as the game goes on


Yep. They don’t look as confused. Hard to watch the young guys grow up sometimes. Especially after last seasons defense.

[Matt3467]

Guy in stands in section 338 having serious medical issue. Were performing cpr in stands.

Older guy?

[PMDawg]

Why aren't we letting Hill run the ball?

[Dawgology]

Hill blew that block. Smh

[DownwardDawg]

Was that Kylin?

[Dawgology]

Why aren't we letting Hill run the ball?

Hoping they open him up in the second half

[TrapGame]

Hill missed the blitz.

[ShotgunDawg]

The miss blocks have got to stop

[DownwardDawg]

Hill blew that block. Smh

Sigh. Will he ever be able to pass block?

[Matt3467]

Hill blew that block. Smh

And thats why Aeris always started over Hill. Heck Holloway would block better

[PMDawg]

Good thing we're passing every down.

[ShotgunDawg]

Eiland sucks. Feet are too slow

[DownwardDawg]

Oh boy

[PMDawg]

Passing 57 downs in a row and our QB is hurting. Nice.

[msstate7]

Uh oh, grabbing at shoulder after back-to/back sacks

[BeardoMSU]

Welp, 2 straight 3 and outs. That D is filthy.**

[mparkerfd20]

Lack of blocking made Tommy look like shit that drive. Still has some things to learn but he's definitely an upgrade on passing.

[msstate7]

Tommy looked like shit that drive tho. Still has some things to learn but he's definitely an upgrade on passing.

That pass was wild, and he grabbed his shoulder.

[Matt3467]

Tommy looked like shit that drive tho. Still has some things to learn but he's definitely an upgrade on passing.

?? Any QB would with missed blocks

[Dawgology]

Need to blow them back here in the goal line and then lean on Kylin to finish the half

[DownwardDawg]

Uh oh, grabbing at shoulder after back-to/back sacks

Worrisome

[ATTILLA THE DOG]

This is moorheads biggest problem, he just totally abandends the run game at times

[HoopsDawg]

Lack of blocking made Tommy look like shit that drive. Still has some things to learn but he's definitely an upgrade on passing.

Lol at blaming Tommy on that drive.

[Scared_Hitless]

Need to lean on Kylin next few drives

[msstate7]

This is moorheads biggest problem, he just totally abandends the run game at times

Ehhh... I'm hell on Moorhead, but I like us getting reps passing against this team we clearly overmatch

[RocketDawg]

Guy in stands in section 338 having serious medical issue. Were performing cpr in stands.

That section is catching the full brunt of the sun. Can you tell how he's doing now?

[TrapGame]

Shrader warming up.

[chef dixon]

Great job D

[Matt3467]

Shrader warming up!

[msstate7]

Shrader warming up.
Stevens clearly grabbed shoulder after 2 sacks and a wild throw. This is a real concern

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Tommy is really good but the fact is he's not the best at recognizing potential blitzes or scrambling. He's athletic but he doesn't have that Johnny Manzell make guys miss in the backfield factor. That 2nd sack for instance he actually should have stayed in the pocket, and even then he ran towards 2 unblocked defenders

[Scared_Hitless]

Tommy is injured **** me.

[msstate7]

Great, shoulder injury for Stevens. QBs and pitchers don't have more worrisome injuries

[Matt3467]

Shrader coming in

[parabrave]

Stevens hurt. Upper body

[msstate7]

H

[Dawgology]

Lol. Schrader blocks better than Hill...

[TrapGame]

Schrader laid that block!

[msstate7]

Hill is hell. Please stop leaving feet in this game we totally overmatch the opponent

[msstate7]

Schrader laid that block!

Then he needs to quit.

Can't lose another qb

[BeardoMSU]

Holy shit....

[TrapGame]

SHIT!! Hill is down!!!

[Cooterpoot]

Damn. Hill looks bad.

[RocketDawg]

Great, shoulder injury for Stevens. QBs and pitchers don't have more worrisome injuries

He was just running off the field to the dressing room so maybe it's not too bad.

And now Kylin is injured.

[Dawgology]

Welp...this 2nd quarter has seriously changed the outlook of the season

[Scared_Hitless]

We dropping like flies thats on the S&C staff

[PMDawg]

Welp, it was a fun season boys. Always next year!

[msstate7]

How do you go from 8-4 to 5-7? Losing Stevens and hill

[mparkerfd20]

There goes a winning season

[starkvegasdawg]

Looked like they tried to hurt Hill.

[Scared_Hitless]

Damn brutal drive

[Matt3467]

So back to back drives we lose our starting QB and RB

[Cooterpoot]

Hill might be done for awhile.

[BeardoMSU]

Well this is ****ing depressing...

[DownwardDawg]

We could be in big trouble for the season now.

[parabrave]

JGFC comon refs blow the fing whistle. this isnt good

[Cooterpoot]

Stevens is fine.

[TrapGame]

Well shit.

[Scared_Hitless]

We looked so damn good today why cant we have any luck ever

[msstate7]

We could be in big trouble for the season now.

Maybe not. Hopefully Stevens is a lot precaution

[TrapGame]

Thanks Gibson!!

[SailingDawg]

Looked like they tried to hurt Hill.

Only way an in-state football team can beat us.

[PMDawg]

Well that's a nice TD. Just gotta hope the best for Hill and Steven's.

[Scared_Hitless]

Thats a high ankle at best for Kylin he is done for a bit

[ShotgunDawg]

Ball game

[Cooterpoot]

Need to get Witherspoon some carries.

[mparkerfd20]

Thank goodness Gibson is a capable back. If Steven's is only precautionary we might be ok. Hill looks pretty serious tho

[chef dixon]

Pump the brakes. They could be fine

[ShotgunDawg]

Thats a high ankle at best for Kylin he is done for a bit

He’s injury prone. Always gets hurt

[Fader21]

I don't think it was his knee. Looked more like Ankle. Hope it's not a high ankle sprain.

[msstate7]

Thats a high ankle at best for Kylin he is done for a bit

Next week and Kentucky are gonna be tough if we missing Stevens and hill

[Matt3467]

Looked like they tried to hurt Hill.

I thought that as well....but tbh Hill has always been very fragile.

[Dawgology]

I’m thinking Stevens will be back next game. Hill probably done for a few game or more.

[ShotgunDawg]

I thought that as well....but tbh Hill has always been very fragile.

He simply doesn’t stay healthy

[Matt3467]

Hill needs to drink more milk

[the_real_MSU_is_us]

Well the good news is we shouldn't need either Stevens or Hill for this game, so we can be safe about it. Heck, even next week we should be OK without Hill; a potential injury from him really hurts if it's a season long one since you expect to have Gibson get dinged up at some point too. If he's only out a game or 2 our RB situation might be OK.

If both are out for the season I'll be happy with 6-6. Man I'd feel bad for Stevens though

[GreenheadDawg]

Looked like a high ankle for Hill. He will be out for a few

[mparkerfd20]

So this is how USM prevents 100yd rushers on them huh?

[msudawg1200]

Thats a high ankle at best for Kylin he is done for a bit

Thanks for the diagnosis doc

[ShotgunDawg]

Landrews can’t tackle at all

[PMDawg]

Hopefully it's not a collarbone for tommy

[Cooterpoot]

Stevens isn’t hurt. He’s getting fluids and cooling down. Shrader was going to play anyway.

[chef dixon]

Gotta give our D credit for that half

[Cooterpoot]

Landrews can’t tackle at all


Landrews has been bad. He’s blown coverage and missed tackles.

[PMDawg]

Gotta give our D credit for that half

Yes, you are correct.

[SailingDawg]

Stadium emptied out, too. I'm sure it's not a comfortable place to watch a game.

[HoopsDawg]

Stevens isn’t hurt. He’s getting fluids and cooling down. Shrader was going to play anyway.

He was favoring his shoulder

[TrapGame]

Stevens isn’t hurt. He’s getting fluids and cooling down. Shrader was going to play anyway.

Sounds good to me. I'd like to see Garrett have a fantastic second half.

[Matt3467]

Witherspoon could get some PT and I'd love to see it

[CadaverDawg]

D is bend but don't break and very soft up the middle officially.

Hope Stevens isn't hurt bad but shoulder/collar bone is scary

Hill looked hurt bad. I'm worried about his injury. Sucks bc the guy is a beast and deserves a healthy year

[BrunswickDawg]

Stadium emptied out, too. I'm sure it's not a comfortable place to watch a game.

Yeah my kid just texted that she left - said the heat index in the student section was 120

[Matt3467]

D is bend but don't break and very soft up the middle officially.

Hope Stevens isn't hurt bad but shoulder/collar bone is scary

Hill looked hurt bad. I'm worried about his injury. Sucks bc the guy is a beast and deserves a healthy year

Crazy how backs like Fournette and Ingram (Mark) can run the ball play after play and almost never get hurt but some you're holding your breath every time they carry (Hill).

[BulldogBear]

Stadium emptied out, too. I'm sure it's not a comfortable place to watch a game.

It's awful. Absolutely awful.

[Bass Chaser]

A lot of folks in shade under the East side.

[Dawgology]

A lot of folks in shade under the East side.

Shotgun was right. Build the roof.

[DLGDawg]

Yes it is. Absolutely brutal. East side looks bad. But the west side is packed. Ha
It's awful. Absolutely awful.

[Pollodawg]

This is why I hate playing USM. It?s their super bowl and just another game for State. Hope it works out for Hill, but it don?t look good.

Nm

[Scared_Hitless]

No way they know this quickly.

Normally needs an MRI hope they are wrong

[BrunswickDawg]

No way they know this quickly.

Yeah - I think that diagnosis requires an MRI. At least that is how I found out I tore mine.

[BayouDawg]

I thought hill was grabbing his ankle not knee

[BeardoMSU]

I thought he?ll was grabbing his ankle not knee

He was.

[Maroonthirteen]

I’m at the stadium. Our defense is soft But anyone not here can’t say shit.

It’s hot. But with a little want to and water, it’s bare-able. There is a slight breeze.

[Big4Dawg]

Pretty sure he was grabbing knee

[GreenheadDawg]

I thought hill was grabbing his ankle not knee

It sure looked like he was grabbing his ankle. I never saw him go anywhere near his knee

[ShotgunDawg]

Is the strength and conditioning program to blame for all these injuries. This is pathetic fellas

[Saltydog]

I thought so too.....

No it's a contact sport where injuries happen

I just checked and it's still there

[ShotgunDawg]

Kylin Hill listed as questionable to return. That’s good news

[HoopsDawg]

It sure looked like he was grabbing his ankle. I never saw him go anywhere near his knee

He immediately grabbed his knee.

[DovaDawg]

Twitter says Hill on the field.

[ShotgunDawg]

No it's a contact sport where injuries happen

Not this many in 2 weeks

[PMDawg]

No it's a contact sport where injuries happen

Thank you. That's just a silly question. S&C doesnt keep you from getting rolled up, or sacked and potentially cracking a collar bone or shoulder bone.

[Dawgology]

Huge sigh of relief there

[Commercecomet24]

Kylin walking around on the sidelines

[VandelayIndustries]

Hill questionable to return. hell yea

[mparkerfd20]

Screw that radio station. Hill back dressed out on sideline

[Cooterpoot]

Both are ok (long term).

[Scared_Hitless]

Welp we dont have a backup QB for today now. May be the KT show next week. Happy about Hill

[BrunswickDawg]

Is the strength and conditioning program to blame for all these injuries. This is pathetic fellas

Right, contact and having a lineman roll your ankle have nothing to do with it

[RocketDawg]

Looked like a high ankle for Hill. He will be out for a few

Hill just ran with the ball. He's OK.

[GreenheadDawg]

Nice call on the torn meniscus

[Dawgology]

Ole Miss mouth piece there. What a bunch of ass holes

[BrunswickDawg]

Hill clowning that radio station twitter

[ATTILLA THE DOG]

Hill must be tough,playing with a tore up knee

[Scared_Hitless]

Why risk Hill here play Weatherspoon and Gibson

[Commercecomet24]

Hill playing pretty good for a torn meniscus lol

[RocketDawg]

Welp we dont have a backup QB for today now. May be the KT show next week. Happy about Hill

Maybe KT put his pads on at halftime.

[BeardoMSU]

Kylin was just trolling **** out of us, lol. Hopefully keeping Tommy out is just a precaution.

[HoopsDawg]

Give me Zuber.

[RocketDawg]

Why risk Hill here play Weatherspoon and Gibson

Yeah, really need to take him out.

[Dawgology]

That was a terrible drop. Good grief

[BeardoMSU]

Hill playing pretty good for a torn meniscus lol

88.2 FM's lead investigative reporter is Yancy.**

[Scared_Hitless]

Nice play by Shraeder gotta catch that

[Dawgology]

Reeeeaaaalllly hope keeping Stevens out just for safety purposes. He’s not in a sling or anything.

[Saltydog]

Good to see Hill back but I'd like to see Gibson get more carries here in this half. They are going to stack the box on Schrader so he's going to have to throw it some.

[RocketDawg]

No way they know this quickly.

That was a quick 16 weeks. Where'd they come up with that crap?

[Cooterpoot]

Told y’all, Patriots are schooling NFL rules.

[BeardoMSU]

Told y’all, Patriots are schooling NFL rules.

Yep. Go ahead and give them the trophy. Jeez.

[RocketDawg]

I?m at the stadium. Our defense is soft But anyone not here can?t say shit.

It?s hot. But with a little want to and water, it?s bare-able. There is a slight breeze.

Last time I saw a shot, there was hardly anybody in the lower level east side. It was pretty full when the game started.

[Dawgology]

Good to see Hill back but I'd like to see Gibson get more carries here in this half. They are going to stack the box on Schrader so he's going to have to throw it some.

This. If we could put another TD on the board just get him out and let Gibson do his thing.

[Coach007]

Hill wants the yards

[Commercecomet24]

88.2 FM's lead investigative reporter is Yancy.**

Rep for you buddy!

[RocketDawg]

Reeeeaaaalllly hope keeping Stevens out just for safety purposes. He’s not in a sling or anything.

Not to mention, we don't really need him in the 2nd half (unless things change quickly). And we get to see Shrader a little. He looks decent so far.
