So here's a funny thing. The article talks about MSU being #4 in pass defense efficiency, only giving up 168 yards a game (1,181 total). I figure it can't really be that good and the numbers are distorted by the monsoon games.

If you take those games out it's 767 yards, or 153/game.

Huh.
Have we played against any teams with good QB's yet, other than ND?

Not at the time we played them, anyway.

Nope. PSU and OSU will change that. Hope we get something figured out on offense soon.

It's complicated OTPT. It has something to do with Moana.

Maybe you could provide us with a little more detail than that, WBH.

by **Death Roe** 2017-10-30, 22:36

Coach D has a Moana song as his ringtone. It went off during the post game presser. The Rock saw it and gave him big props saying he's the man.

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** 2017-10-30, 22:36

Sorry I'm on my phone and that shit is difficult. White people problems and whatnot.

by **Death Roe** 2017-10-30, 22:37

Moana is a 2016 Disney animated movie starring The Rock. Coach D is the Michigan State head football coach.

A reporter’s phone went off during his press conference, and it was some dumb fucking song or something. At the time it seemed to be dantonios as it was on the podium.

Now, can we get back to scrapping the program?

Nice. Thanks, DR.
WBH? See how it's done? Maybe take a lesson or two from DR. Pitiful. Pit--ee--ful.

Ringtones are sounds that play when your phone has a notification. Phones are cellular devices used to communicate

I'm going to have Dantonio put a Moana ringtone on his phone and have him pay for it. Sad!

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** 2017-10-30, 22:43

Had some weird auto corrects on my phone tonight. Now Coach D = Coach Dave. Typed in Niners earlier and it auto-corrected to the N-bomb. I do not use that word, ever. Never would have typed it on my phone. Trump is taking over the google y'all.

I got it covered. I'm sending ten dozen Ex Lax chocolate chip cookies to the Pedo St. football team. Barkley won't be the only Nittsny Lion running this weekend.

Here’s the trademark of this team, and really of Dantonio’s program: Adjust, adjust adjust. He says it all the time, and they’re doing it rapidly now. They’re more capable of adjusting to anything because they prepare for everything.

Wet weather? Not a problem. To prepare for the possibility, the offense conducted its Thursday drills in the rain.

“Coach D left the offense outside the whole day, soaking wet,” Davis said with a laugh. “I was mad, for sure. I was yelling at Coach D — the defense is dry and we were wet. But it helped us today, you could see it.”

Third-and-18? Not a problem.

“In practice, Coach D puts us in extreme situations as an offense, third-and-22, third-and-30, and we gotta go make that play,” Davis said. “It allows you to have the confidence in a game when it’s third-and-15 and third-and-20 and you know what’s being called.”

Harns tweeting. Worked his way through all of the scenarios. The only way the winner of next week's game does not win the East is if they lose out.

Now says there is one exception... OSU wins, but loses to UM, they win out and PSU loses one more. So... Not happening.
