    Eulls will be the best player on the D-line this year...

    Eulls is just a large athletic man, and I think he's going to put outside pressure on QBs andget them to step up in the pocket, right into Josh Boyd. People forget that Boyd had 4.5 sacks last year, even with Cox next to him and no true edge rush to help out. I think our DL is going to disrupt a...

    Take off your maroon glasses

    A lot of people don't understand the hype around Mettenberger, but people forget how highly rated he was coming out of high school and how tough that battle between him and Murray was when they were both true freshmen. Then he went JUCO, and nowhe's a legit SEC QB and he's going to show it this...

    History of Rivals top recruits staying in state

    If you look at the 5 star guys in state, you spend a ton of time, effort, and resources trying to get a commit from the best guys in the state and the country. None of the guys we got were really game changers in college except for Jerious. Now a lot of that has to do with the staff in place at...

    State vs Alabama 2007 on WLOV now.

    Two great moments that were extremely cool to be field level to watch. I've only been an MSU fansince 2006 when I came for undergrad, but those two plays andthe Pegues punt return against Ole Miss are probably my Top 3 moments in MSU football.As a side note, Igrew up in Helena, which is only 20...

    State vs Alabama 2007 on WLOV now.

    Standing field level when both plays happened, the stadium was twice as loudfor Johnson's pick. Everyone knew the moment Johnson picked it that he was going to the house. The stadium exploded the instant he caught the ball. With Banks, he was in a crowd andhad some people to get through before...

    Paul Maholm carrying a 4-0 shutout for the Braves into the 8th against the Mets*

    He's hitting .188 right now and he hasn't done anything offensively that Tyler Pastornicky couldn't have done. I know there wasn't much else out there as a possibility at SS, but I would have ratherpieced Prado and Pastornickyat SSuntil Simmons got backand go afteran outfielder, which we did in...

    Paul Maholm carrying a 4-0 shutout for the Braves into the 8th against the Mets*

    I felt we hadmore pressingareas weneeded toaddress like the SS position and the bullpen. But it seems likeMaholm, as well as Sheets, are the most consistent guys on the staff right now. With Huddy and Hanson being inconsistent in their last few starts, as well as young guys like Medlen and Minor...

    Anybody out there get the eagles game?

    Chris White- 4 tackles and a pass deflection for the Bills against the Redskins Fletcher Cox- 1 tackle for the Eagles Charles Mitchell- 2 tackles and a pass deflection for the Falcons against the Ravens. And he just looked bad missing a tackle on Rainey. Pernell McPhee- 1 tackle for the Ravens...

    Question about the O and D Line play. Will it be better than we were expecting?

    Simply because of the edge rush Eulls and Autry are going to give us. If Fletcher had stayed it would be the best DL in the country in my opinion. But Boyd should benefit greatly from Autry and Eulls getting after it on the outside. He should have a few more sacks with QBs stepping up inside...

    Who will be our biggest letdown of the season?

    I know he was very highly rated, but his footwork was piss poor. His size allowed him to be dominant without having to put too much time into mastering the fundamentals of playing tackle.6'8'' 330 pounds in high school will help cover up a lot of what you lack in other areas. From the minute he...

    Our season rides on 3 games

    We have to win 2 of those games every year. We should win 3 or 4 nonconference every year, we should expect to beat UK every year because we have better talent and better depth, and at this moment, we should expect to beat OM every year. I know it's a rivalry game, but weare superior to them...

    Anyne just watch the USA Canada women's soccer semifinal??

    Hell of a game. 5 goals were scored in about 15 game minutes. Tied 3-3 and Alex Morgan scores the game winning header in the 122nd minute in stoppage time of the 2nd extra period.

    How wooly are you about the Auburn game?

    We don't do well in fast paced games, and the type of defense we have builtis not one that matched up well with a Malzahn style offense. I think Auburn running more ace back, more I form, more 2 and 3 wide sets, plays much better into our defense. We have a solid DL, athletic LB's that canrun...

    How many guys can we sign?

    We will have to have some attrition if we want to sign a full class.I looked at our roster andI counted 44 players classified as a freshman. Now that includes non-scholarship guys and practice squad guys, but that is still a ton of people. Mullen is starting to build a deeper roster, so it's...
