I come in peace

Heh. I like Cousins. A gutsy player.

I like Cousins too, I always remember this play. We were jumping up and down..when this happened.

 

[bmw]

How good is your run and pass defense?

Very, very good against the run (see OSU game). Pass is above average. We lost our starting LB in camp and two more starting DB's the early part of the season.

me, too

The funny thing is the receiver who caught it was a one-time QB who Cousins beat out who then converted to WR.

Fair enough

Blue or not, my avatar heard the command, and now you've been warned...

Fair enough

Hey BMW welcome to TideFans! We're really looking forward to playing ya'll again. Are you going to Dallas or like me, going to enjoy it on the TV?

Thank you

I'll be watching it on the brand new 70" I just bought for the family (okay, really bought it for me)

Thank you

My new puny 55" seems so small now. Now I want a 70" too. Welcome aboard.

 

[G-VilleTider]

After our last meeting, I must ask... How many backup QB's does Sparty have?

If anyone knows where that thread is of the MSU comments during that game and they bring it up, I will owe you cookies.

 

[TideFan in AU]

Welcome to the board bmw! We have some really good rival posters that hang around we like to get different perspectives from other fanbases.

I think this is going to be an old school smash mouth game. I have a lot of respect for Mark Dantonio, and MSU's record against top 5 teams in recent years should make anyone respect Sparty.

If you don't mind, will you post the same stats for Bama (for BMW's sake).

 

[CoachJeff]

I've watched MSU twice this year. Who on offense is a game changer besids Cook? Their RB looked alright against Iowa.

The pass D isn't great, is that due to dink and dunk or hitting big plays?

 

[4Q Basket Case]

So, bmw, why do you have any feelings either way about Auburn (a/k/a on this board, "the barn")?

I have my own set of reasons, but I've lived in Alabama for 53.5 out of my 57 years on this earth. What generated a Michigander / Spartan's dislike for a fellow land-grant institution 1,000 or so miles away?

BTW -- are you a BMW enthusiast? I'm on my third Beemer, and love them.

 

[CoreGroup]

I just made a trip to a MSU board. Maybe that board isn't representative of all Spartan fans, but every single poster I've come across is a $#@%

Is a qbert???

[GP for Bama]

Welcome to the board bmw. After enjoying many Michigan State fans at the bowl game, I was really looking forward to the home and home series before it was cancelled.
Really glad we get to match up in the playoff.

If you don't mind, will you post the same stats for Bama (for BMW's sake).

I hate Auburn and thank you all for kicking Michigan's hind-dinger last time you played them. Looking forward to the upcoming game

Welcome, and it's great to have someone else here who dislikes Michigan with a passion. I won't wish you luck against Alabama because, well, I hope that they win, but I appreciate the MSU perspective.

Stick around after the game. This is a great college football board - the best that I have come across.

 

[CajunCrimson]

Thank you

Be warned, always change channel before Joey Galloway comes on, otherwise the "Smart TV" programming disables itself. It's like a built in firewall, designed to protect itself from a virus.

The guys at Best Buy told me that it's a huge problem for them.

 

[tidefanbeezer]

We're not LSU dumb. We'll keep a RB in the backfield for protection

So does Arkansas.
