But you didn’t give us your deeply contemplated analysis of how the defenses stack up! I’m dying to hear it.

Too tired tonight, it's late here in NYC. I gave a summary above where I feel MSU has a superior offense that will carry the day.

Both teams show opening day jitters. Cats settle down behind a dominating defense and excellent quarterback play by Hunter.

I am surprised by how many think this game will be close. Cats win by 3 TDs.

that's not cool. We've had way worse - WAY worse opposing trolls visit before a game. You may not agree with his opinion, but he's entitled to it.

Yeah... I don't get why people are so upset that an MSU fan thinks MSU will win. On paper, the Cats look pretty decimated from a year ago, so it seems a pretty natural reaction from an outsider who loves his team the way we do ours.

You boys are being a wee bit too sensitive about some light pre-game banter, no? GIGO is not that strong of a phrase. Disagreeing with an opposing fan's "analysis" is now not allowed? What's next - apologizing to their fans after we beat them? Good grief.

Someone should organize an annual poll for most annoying troll and call it the Droski Cup.

Nah, we'll just say "I hope we didn't hurt any of your boys" :p:p. I'm in an especially good mood because today is jersey day for me at work. Customarily, it would be Friday, but we are closed every Friday. I've been doing this for about a year, and it has changed my life. We work 4x10, but that's ok. I used to work 5x11 plus a bunch of travel. Also, people are like Fred Flintstone leaving the quarry at quitting time. No unnecessary face-time.

Homerism is fine. Bogus analysis, delivered with misplaced arrogance is fair game for ridicule.

I (used to) have a soft spot for Sparty because they would beat annoying teams in the East, but I lost that when they became yet another Sex-Crimes U.

FWIW if you read the prediction by the MSU mod ,PK, on your front page and read his analysis it is pretty close to mine. 30-21 vs 28-14.

We may both be wrong and NU wins but that's the fun of pregame banter.
At 175 and 6 feet , I'm ready to run out there and tackle Johnson by myself.
Let's get this going. In the meantime hope MN beats OSU

It will be the battle of Leuctra.

From Wikipedia (edited): “the battle permanently altered the balance of power, as Sparta was deprived of its former prominence and was reduced to a second-rate power among the “Big Ten.
