Re: The most meh pregame thread of all time: Washington pregame thread

A bus from Kellogg to the Statue?  WTF.  He should have been fired for that alone.

Admittedly, I have a couple cocktails and Bud lights at every tailgate. But at no point last year did I realize the team was being dropped off at the statue. Which is only 40 or 50 yards away from my tailgate. Not one time last year that I know that was going on. I’m guessing bus drivers thought it was idiotic too

Lol. Technically they dropped them off somewhere on Beal St just before the statue and out of your view.

But didn’t Mel bring it back? There was video of the players tossing pennies at the feet of the Spartan last weekend. Although there is one thing different I’m aware of—Mel doesn’t allow the entire team to walk. Only a certain number are allowed. He also doesn’t let everyone dress for home games, which seems odd to me unless there’s a rule change I’m unfamiliar with.

Jesus Christ greenway. Read it again. For fucks sake. Focus.

Oh. Right. Never mind.

[tGreenWay]

5 pm what the fuck. What am I even supposed to do? Do I get raging drunk like a night game or do I have to hold back because I have obligations to take care of after the game? I can’t put the kids to sleep before the game like if it were at 8 or after the game like if it were 330. I guess I‘ll just have to check out for a bit around the fourth quarter to go take care of that. What the fuck fuck nbc fuck the peacock fuck all of this if there was a scheduling conflict they should have just moved the game to ford field and had it at a normal time

You know you shouldn’t be drinking when you’re breastfeeding, Travis.

Really wanted the all greens, top to bottom. I agree with the writer about the white helmet looking out of place on a green top/bottom. Not sure HB was focused enough on uniforms this week.

[Zurn]

I laughed when I read the tweet "most anticipated game in years" But then Frey listed these points and I think he may be right:

MSU has a legit shot at a top-10 upset.
The defense has been playing much better.
Noah Kim and Nathan Carter lead the Big Ten in passing and rushing, respectively.
We have a kicker now.
Mark Dantonio is back on the sidelines.
Harlon Barnett is finally getting his opportunity.
Probably the first look at the black uniforms.
Alcohol is being sold at Spartan Stadium for the first time.
Night game.
Rose Bowl team celebration (hopefully we hear ‘Type of Way’ by Rich Homie Quan blasted on the speakers).
A jam-packed Spartan Stadium.
Spartan Walk will return to normal with the starting point at Kellogg (great for fans).
Resounding support from fans and alumni.
A chance to finally get the best of Michael Penix Jr.
Revenge game for MSU.
A chance to prove everyone wrong (chip on the shoulder is back, baby).

Remember when Alante Brown/concussion protocol was our biggest concern?

5 pm, not a night game not a day game. What even is it? Golden hour game? Fuck man come on this is stupid. I want to pick up some food for the game but lunch is straight out and picking up food at 430 is way too early for dinner. I guess I’ll go at halftime. Or order delivery I guess but I hate doing delivery

Travis, I had no idea you were going through this. I am so sorry. This is all so horrible. I hate to see a friend in pain and having to endure such a tragedy all alone. Please let us know if there is anything we can do. Be well, friend. We are here for you.

[Trapper Gus]

Maybe spend your time preparing food yourself to take your mind off the game?
