They are going to think I'm a creeper and give me beatdown. 🤣🤣

We really don't have a plan for that? We can't drop a safety so the ball doesn't roll to the 4?

I wonder if X stands in front of the mirror before every game,

In all fairness, the QB is one of the worst in P4 and he's throwing to below average receivers. There isn't an OC in the country that can make this passing game functional give the players involved.
Let's all say this together:
"It's not about Lester ... nor the QB ... nor the TEs/WRs ... nor the weather ... nor the refs ... nor the stadium ... nor Phil Parker ... nor the punters ... nor the kickers ... nor the returners ... nor the big uglies ... nor the RBs ... nor the defensive backs. It's about one person. The person who chose everyone on that sideline. The person who creates the strategy. The person who controls the expectations of the fans and the media. The person who demands rewards in good times and zero accountability in bad times. The person who believes in nepotism. The person who takes the bows and gets the rewards for what the collective does. The person who encourages a cult of personality around himself. The person who spent decades implying he might go elsewhere when in reality that was NEVER going to happen. And now that the person has no where else to go because no one would hire him, he gets to sit back and enjoy what 27yrs of telling people that mediocrity is excellence gets you. It gets you untouchability, and a illusion created by bots and the brainwashed that most people prefer to be bored and underwhelmed rather than entertained and hopeful."

If the Hawks can’t pick up chunks on the run game, they aren’t scoring in the 2nd half. And MSU keeps loading the box more and more.

I'm noticing a trend with our defensive backs where they bump the pass catcher when tackling and don't wrap up!
Incredibly low football IQ there.
My grandsons learned that in fifth grade football.

For an offensive line that has played so many game together, this offense sure can't manage to do ****.

We may have average receivers but they do get open. Even with All American receivers chances of them catching most of the balls at their feet aren’t good. MG is in over his head at this level and if he couldn’t run he’d be completely useless.

MSU defense having a blast. Only one play they need to worry about, and they're stopping it every time.
