Can’t get enough college football!!
September 1st, 2023 at 6:54 PM ^
It’d be nice to see Western (check) Eastern and Central all get a win!!

How much longer is Chris Creighton going to stay at EMU? He’s done a fantastic job there considering the resources (or lack thereof) that he has at his disposal, and EMU is probably one of the 2-3 hardest jobs in FBS.
September 1st, 2023 at 7:03 PM ^
I never would have thought he’d be there this year.. I thought he would get a look from Purdue… Good for him!

Someone made a good point (maybe it was the Cover 3 Podcast?) that it's going to be impossible for MAC head coaches to move up to the biggest conferences due to pay differential. ADs are going to be loath to pay a guy who was making $500-800k the going rate of $4-5M. And you can't pay them less as it makes you look cheap.
So you're stuck poaching coaches from other schools and coordinators from big schools. That's why it doesn't make sense for guys like Mike Hart to take a MAC head coaching job.

Probably will end up watching the ESPN game, but excited to check out the shitshow in East Lansing
September 1st, 2023 at 7:03 PM ^
How's Mrs. Hoek feeling today?
September 1st, 2023 at 7:05 PM ^
Very tired, very sore. Got her to take her pain meds, muscle relaxer, chemo pill and about 30 other pills to take care of the side effects of those pills… She is now laying on the couch sleeping as I watch football and try to keep the four kids from being to loud!
I really appreciate you asking! Thank you
September 1st, 2023 at 9:42 PM ^
Praying for a full and swift recovery for her and that you remember to take care of yourself as well, brother.
September 1st, 2023 at 7:05 PM ^
the fox sports dude is referring to bert emmanuel jr. as “bart,” so we’re off to a great start!
September 1st, 2023 at 7:05 PM ^
Tim Brando is not a good broadcaster.
September 1st, 2023 at 7:13 PM ^
So cool to see the worst overly large scoreboard I have ever seen is going to be used on all Fox stations this year. But so glad I can see gigantic logos, etc that add nothing of value. It is literally covering wrs and dbs on the bottom of the screen. Can we please get a petition or something going for them to change that crap?
September 1st, 2023 at 8:05 PM ^
It's an abomination.
September 1st, 2023 at 7:43 PM ^
If you think this is bad, you should listen to his radio show, actually, no, no you shouldn’t…
September 1st, 2023 at 8:56 PM ^
Compared to Blaha Brado is Keith Jackson. Driving out and listened to the first half on XM. Every play was the same. Babble. Silence. Crowd reaction, leading me to wonder is that a big cheer a medium cheer b/c MSU did something ok, a good play from Central so only their fans are cheering, etc until Blaha figures out what happened. He was terrible five years ago. Now, they'd be better off with any random college kids from that first week of exhibition basketball.
September 1st, 2023 at 7:10 PM ^
FYI..just got a 3 week free trial for YTTV.
🖕Spectrum.
September 1st, 2023 at 7:14 PM ^
I estimate George Blaha’s age to be 146.
September 1st, 2023 at 10:46 PM ^
He was 106 when the pistons won championships with Isiah.
September 1st, 2023 at 7:15 PM ^
What was that DE doing
September 1st, 2023 at 7:15 PM ^
Fuck Spectrum
Fuck Disney
Dad played at Miami U. Brother went to U Miami. I was looking forward to this game and no way to watch it. Pieces of shit.
September 1st, 2023 at 7:15 PM ^
Big 4th down stuff!
September 1st, 2023 at 7:15 PM ^
Tuck is comin'
September 1st, 2023 at 7:15 PM ^
Nice stop Chips!
September 1st, 2023 at 7:19 PM ^
Look at you Central!!! Hell yeah!
September 1st, 2023 at 7:19 PM ^
MSU is not looking good so far
September 1st, 2023 at 7:20 PM ^
Will MSU win 3 games this year?
September 1st, 2023 at 7:44 PM ^
Yes, but not this one.
September 1st, 2023 at 7:22 PM ^
Goal line stand incoming probably, going to be another year where opponents in the redzone are going to try and go into the teeth of the only decent part of MSU's defense apparently.
September 1st, 2023 at 7:23 PM ^
CMU driving the field and decide on two quarterback keepers in a row from the 5?
September 1st, 2023 at 7:25 PM ^
Opponents called some very inexplicable plays all year last year against MSU in the redzone, so I see that is continuing so far.
September 1st, 2023 at 7:40 PM ^
Honestly it reminds me of the times that Don Brown would trot out the 3-3-5 in order to bait opponents into checking to a run play…and post-snap the opponent would realize, too late, that it was a 4-3 all along
September 1st, 2023 at 7:25 PM ^
Sparty NOOOOOO
September 1st, 2023 at 7:25 PM ^
Sparty holds - but Sparty No!! Unsportsmanlike conduct on 4th and goal from the 18.
September 1st, 2023 at 7:25 PM ^
Gotta love the self discipline
September 1st, 2023 at 7:26 PM ^
I find it difficult to watch MSU without an overwhelming need to 🤮
September 1st, 2023 at 7:27 PM ^
Shark humper not realize their secondary is suspect?
September 1st, 2023 at 7:27 PM ^
Three straight running plays. Sparty No vs CMU boneheaded play calling.
September 1st, 2023 at 7:27 PM ^
MSU again becoming an elite goal line defense. Lol. Just so weird because they’re just not good.
September 1st, 2023 at 7:28 PM ^
It is just idiotic how teams refuse to really test MSU's awful secondary in the redzone the last couple of years. MSU is not good but their front seven is at least decent. Feels like they are paying off opposing coaches to sandbag redzone playcalling at this point.
September 1st, 2023 at 7:30 PM ^
Very. However state does have some decent LB’s that can cover better on a short field.
September 1st, 2023 at 7:28 PM ^
OMG lol
September 1st, 2023 at 7:28 PM ^
The CMU version of the Philly special…
September 1st, 2023 at 7:28 PM ^
Damn you turf monster
September 1st, 2023 at 7:30 PM ^
So….Central has no passing game whatsoever?
September 1st, 2023 at 7:30 PM ^
So, you’re the road team, an underdog, and you just proved you can drive it on the other team. Why the duck wouldn’t you take the three points and get some momentum?! Also State is just undisciplined, unsportsmanlike penalty against CMU? Like damn.
September 1st, 2023 at 7:38 PM ^
Take the 3 points and the momentum you say?
Nah, let’s go misdirection play action pass…
Must be a state of Michigan consistent rule of footballing.
September 1st, 2023 at 7:32 PM ^
Nice job on that flea flicker
September 1st, 2023 at 7:38 PM ^
All hands team
September 1st, 2023 at 7:32 PM ^
I mean Mel has alot of money to throw around, maybe just maybe he is paying opponents to sandbag in the redzone, lol. Even Washington in last years opener bizarrely refused to throw it in the redzone.
