MSU-Boise St.

How lucky are the Spartans? Ordinarily I would give Boise a fighting chance but Boise has lost so many players from last year that it is hard to think they will be competitive. They have 7, S-E-V-E-N returning starters on offense AND defense from last year. Now they have to go to EL for their first game of the season. Nice timing for MSU to play this game.

I would love to see MSU taken down a peg but it hard to imagine Boise St. being the ones to do it. Any predictions?

Yeah. It's a shame that BSU has a completely different team, losing 20 something starters from last year. I'll be rooting for them but I think MSU still wins this by 14. Maybe along the lines of 24-10.

It's really weird to see Sparty get so much hype. The Big Ten Network guys were slobbering over them. Apparently they're going to have the best defense in the nation this year and the best offensive line. One of those morons picked them as a dark horse for the national championship game.

Apparently it doesn't matter that they're breaking in a brand new quarterback with no depth at receivers and a returning running game that was 11th in the conference last year. Surely they'll have some growing pains in that area.

I too would love to see MSU taken down a peg. They were awful for 90% of my lifetime and there's nothing worse than fans of a crappy program right after they put together their best seasons in decades. Plus, Dantonio is a jackass.

WH, you're a man after my own heart.

The worst part is working at a high school. The kids going into their soph or junior yr., when the last time M beat MSU, they where in 5th or 6th grade. Meaning 11 or 12 yrs olds, so in their mind MSU is dominated M forever. Some kids forget college FB didn't start 4 yrs ago, and I try in a nice way to remind them of that. I proudly wear my M shirts/ sweatshirts win or lose. I have been at the HS now for 30 yrs., its funny how many MSU fans came out of hiding the last few yrs. Kids would wear their State stuff during BB season, but not during FB.

Last yr I bet one of the seniors, a great kid, the loser had to wear the winning teams jersey. As painful as it was, I honored the bet. I'm sure there are many pictures out there still of me on facebook, twitter

I would love to see Sparty smacked by CMU (again)...

And at Kelly Shorts...

Frankly I don't give a crap what MSU does in any of 11 of 12 games this season, so long as that 12th game sees them getting smacked---hard---by their in-state rival.

Ordinarily I would agree with you but they really need to put in their place. Their fans are out of control and Dantonio thinks his shit doesn't stink. I would love to see them get smacked around a bit.

Those b!tches need a season-long ass-kicking to remind them who they are (and are not).

LOL...

Notre Dame (a mediocre program) and three awful teams. It looked like, at first glance, they were doing a serious upgrade to their schedule with Boise, but as mentioned by others, looking a little deeper, Boise is not the same team of the last three years. It is better than playing Florida Atlantic though. I'd say their non-conference as a whole is about average this year.
