Quote:Lastly, props to UAB. They're improved. For a directional team wearing helmets designed by a sixth grader with an anime obsession, I thought they looked pretty good. They'll beat some folks in C-USA.

Quite the backhanded compliment to finish off the post.

They're just jealous because they don't get to wear cool hats.

I know I'm not really objective, but I definitely like the "anime" one better...

I guess we're directional now? I thought there literally - yes, I'm using it correctly - had to be a cardinal direction in the school name for it to be a directional school. We have a preposition. Or a hyphen, depending on who you ask.

Plus look at how much smaller theirs is.

RE: MSU Sunshine-Pumpers Come Back To Earth
The writer of that blog clearly has no idea what the heck he's talking about. First, your team couldn't get a pass rush because UAB's o-line is better than anyone thought it would be. Second, your secondary got burned because we simply have faster players than you. Third, UAB's helmets don't look like anime- their just cooler than yours. Fourth, aside from a fluke pick 6 and a blocked punt- we hung with your team better than you thought we would. UAB is not a putz this year.

To belittle us isn't the smartest thing to do. If you belittle all the teams you beat, then people could say "MSU isn't really good, they haven't beaten anybody that is decent". But he is SEC fan/reporter, they aren't the sharpest tools in the shed, probably didn't go to college.

Those 4 semesters Mom & Dad are still paying for was the best Freshman year he ever had. Just 4 more classes and he can be a sophomore.

RE: MSU Sunshine-Pumpers Come Back To Earth
I actually started to read some of the stuff on that site.

This is pretty fun. Basically MSU fans describe the game with 5 words via twitter.

http://www.forwhomthecowbelltolls.com/20...e-words-or

Some of my favorites

"smoked secondary tastes bad"

"Madden 08 Hail Mary works"

"second(ary) degree burns. Need ointment"

"Cloud coverage > Bulldog coverage"

"facepalm facepalm facepalm facepalm facepalm"

"Why didn't I drink?"

"Oh **** he's going deep"

"4 wins to bowl eligibility."
