OK, I revise my pick to State 31, Charleston Southern 24.


Tell you what, I will double that margin, and offer you Charleston Southern +14 for $100. I'm sure there's a trustworthy middleman here on SPS that we could Venmo the money to today, and he could Venmo it to me I mean to the winner on Saturday night.

Those 4 games were also when we made Aeris Williams the feature back, which he will be on Saturday. But you go on believing we'll score 24 points less in this game than any Mullen team has ever scored on an FCS team.

Who was the RB against Miami of OH?

We're going to be breaking in a few new OL, including a guy that's never played center before, and it's going to presumably be a sloppy game due to weather from Harvey. And we weren't exactly the model of consistency before we had to play musical chairs on the line before the season.

I think that prediction is going to be badly wrong, but I don't think it's exactly asinine and certainly nothing to get upset over.

Even after seeing Sirmone in action last year, would you not have thought someone was asinine for picking Samford to score 41 points on us? Teams play ****** sometimes.

Miami of Ohio is not an FCS team.

Again, if we only score 28 points on an FCS team, we aren't winning again.

Did we score 28 points on them?

With a full year for the OL to gel, we scored 17. We managed to score as many points as power houses Central Michigan and Ohio scored on them and two points more than Eastern Michigan did and a full field goal more than Kent State did. We were not able to keep pace with Eastern Illinois, Western Kentucky, Akron, Bowling Green, Buffalo, or Ball State.

Since then, we've had to move our best guard to play center (for the first time in his career?) and we're starting two more unproven OL.

Again, I don't think we're going to only score 28. I think it's a bad prediction. I just don't why people are up in arms over it, especially considering there is a non-remote chance that we are playing the the remnants of a tropical storm.

Speaking of the Sanford game, I've been trying to find it online to watch it again and can't locate it. Must not be full game online.

I don't know if we aren't winning again, but yes, if we only score 28 points, we're probably looking at virtually guaranteed losses against everybody but La Tech, BYU, UMass, and UM.

That's basically Reese being as bad or worse than Clausell was as a redshirt freshman and Williams/Story being the bad version of Devon Desper and maybe Jenkins struggling in transitioning to center.

Oh, I was

under the impression he was discussing FCS teams.

Using our play in that bowl game is laughable, too.

That team that showed up for MSU could not have cared less. It was a ****** bowl game against a ****** team.

If we were interested in it even 20%, we would have blown those clowns out. OM was better than them.

Well, generally we use the same roster against FCS and BCS teams, with the exception of being pretty quick to hold people out for minor injuries.

I wonder if the team will be even 20% interested in a more or less exhibition/pre-season game against a ****** team...

What is this pre-season game you're speaking of?
