Nine days to kick off

[Spartanmack]

Seems rather fitting that we're opening the 2020 season against Rutgers - a horrible game to kickoff a screwed up season. Does anyone have any expectations worth mentioning? Does anyone care? It would be nice if after the game, we're still the only team from Michigan to not lose to Rutgers (since they joined the B1G). Other than that I have no idea what to expect.

MSU is about an 11 point favorite. Should be a good season to see growth. 3 or 4 wins is fine.

Why don’t you guys have a countdown thread?

I’d want to see the players they chose. Random picks, random numbers off the top of my head:

26 - Clint Jones
7 - Eddie Smith
34 - Lorenzo
23- Gibson
77 - Bubba (if the countdown was started that soon) — EDIT: Bubba was 95. He wore 77 in the pros. My Mistake.
90 - George Webster (same as above)
9 - Smoker
8 - TJ Duckett
1- Muhsin Muhammad
10 - Brad Van Pelt
33- Langford
48 - Percy Snow

No, no no; the countdown is in order, one number/one player per day, one day at a time.

Like today would be day 5, then tomorrow would be day 4, and so on.

Like that, see?

Then tomorrow it might be this:

I know, but I was speculating that their countdown would have started say on day 60 or thereabouts. And I offered some numbers/players to reference.

Yeah, dude, I was totally only setting up my riff on Plaxico.

Dan Enos wore #4 as a Spartan for a time and was a coach under Harbaugh (#4) in 2018, so I?d go with Enos.

I?m sure that Enos would the 1st and only choice for Spartans everywhere in their non-existent countdown to 2020.

Did Enos ever go to prison for shooting himself in his own ass?

Plaxico is classic.

If this team goes 4-4 Mel Tucker deserves B1G COTY. I expect absolutely nothing from this season so I won’t get worked up at all, the whole thing is a wash to me. I’d guess 2-6 with wins over Rutgers and Maryland.

I do not want Lombardi whatsoever either. Zero upside in playing him. Plus this is a perfect experimental type season to break in Thorne or Day.

 

[Spartanmack]

It would have been so great if Lombardi didn’t suck - but what do you expect from a hayseed from Iowa that looks like he’s from SoCal with a name that sounds like he’s from north Jersey. Dude’s all mixed up.

Suppressing a redshirt and a walk-on ain't that complicated.

"You. And you. You're through."

(to the rest of the team)

"Don't be them. Questions? Awesome."

 

[tinselwolverine]

Facing three hours of dental worked I popped lil something to relax and take the edge off.

I’m pretty buzzed.

I guess this doesn’t have much to do with football.
