#1 in nation..
wow, our boy is number one in the nation right now??? i didn’t realize that…thats really awesome considering it was his first ever start and he wasn’t even the quarterback throughout the entire game…
I did not see the game,
but it is a great looking win. I have noticed over the last few years, MSU has been stockpiling a lot of good recruits—3/4 star—with either WR or athlete as designated position like Bumpus and Car. Besides Bumpus, did a lot of these players get into the game on offense Saturday? MSU vs AU should be interesting for sure.
a lot of our stars got to touch the ball against memphis…the game against auburn will really show us just how good we truly are…
I think the answer to the “How good are we?” question will be “Not very.” Why? Because Memphis flat out quit playing in the third quarter. There was very little work and pride under those sparkly blue helmets. The timely personal fouls didn’t help their cause either. I’m worried that the Dawgs of some seasons past will show up with a big head and think they can role over a better-than-decent team. Auburn will be a much different story, especially after a short week.
If we don't get our sauce, we ain't watching the game!

stolen from AU on signing day last year. needs a big game.
"Nice coat! Who shot the couch?"
I really liked the split time he and Bumphis got this past Saturday. And Russell to Bumphis is a match made in heaven. Keep that going all year long.
