MSU thread (in the Lions Forum)

It’s weird. The “lack of discipline” thing is happening in every game I’m watching this weekend. So many unsportsmanlike conducts and personal fouls. Maybe it’s not just a Spartan thing.

I think any team that has massive turnover is likely to run into those kind of discipline problems. Football isn't a sport where you can throw a bunch of new players together and expect it to work. But I'm today's college football it seems like half the teams have this type of turnover.

The Spartans season total was 4.5, so it's no surprise they looked like shit against Florida Atlantic. But even in the glory years, they looked like shit against minnows starting the season.

Pretty cool new facility. Combination of my old interest in architecture and original reasoning of enrolling at Purdue. + Sports.

Ok, Lions and Rod Wood. Time to bulldoze the Allen Park facility in the near future. Get out of the Stone Age of football facilities. Who wouldn’t like to show up to work at a building like this…

INSIDE THE MICHIGAN STATE SPARTANS’ NEW FACILITY

[chemiclord]

Haven't the Lions been renovating their training facilities largely because they only got an "average" grade a couple years ago?

The benefits of the new MSU training facility was not evident against Florida Atlantic.

Feels good to get a conference win!

Over the years the Spartans have sent quite a few quarterbacks to the league, but none of them played like Chiles. It's going to be a wild ride with him. His stat line today was positively Jameson-like, 363 yards 3 TD 3 Int with about 5 boneheaded mistakes that doesn't show in the stat line. But that dude can throw Tecmo Bowl bombs.

2-0 though.
Should be 3-0 with a big game next vs Bill O’Brien. It’s progress.

[froot loops]

The bigger issue by far is how much money you can get the players. Chiles is making over 1 million this year and they had to hold off a late charge from USC

[NewOrleansLion]

We’re a bit better than I could have hoped for at this point. The defense is promising. Chiles needs to learn and improve starting now. Gonna take time to get the OL where it needs to be. Overall, though, I’m pretty damn happy.

[froot loops]

They just gave that game away.

Sparty should be 4-0 right now. But honestly? Right now? I'm okay with 3-1 compared to the disaster that was last season.

[froot loops]

I'm not sure about going through the Big Ten schedule with Chiles as a QB Two times a game he makes an NFL throw and two times a game you wonder if Tommy Schuster wouldn't be a better option. I've never seen a quarterback miss wide open receivers so bad it gifts an interception to the badly beaten defender

Growing pains is to be expected. Chiles be ok but he has some growing to do

Cal Haladay doesn’t wear any gloves or pads!!!

(And he also hasn’t made a play in 4 and a half years.)
