45-0 and I somehow came away more nervous because now there is evidence for my delusions.

Correct. A normal fan says “nice win.” We say “what if the entire sport has been solved by a guy from Brooklyn with a spreadsheet?”

The first quarter was weird enough that my dad texted “same old MSU” and then they won by forty five. We are so back to not knowing anything.

My dad sent “play Milivojevic” after the fumble and “Hannan has tools” by halftime. Generational hedging.

Actual football thing: Brantley having 11 tackles from outside corner is insane. I don’t care who it was against. That is not a normal corner stat line.

Hannan looked like a freshman for maybe seven minutes and then looked like the reason you start the freshman. That is the only take I have.

Press ConferencePosted by u/transcriptgoblin in r/MSUSpartans · 3h ago

[Discussion] Mansour’s postgame presser was somehow more interesting than the game

He praised Hannan without crowning him, protected Savoury, kept Milivojevic in the conversation without making it weird, and basically refused to take a victory lap after a 45-point shutout.

[Week 2 Chaos] Notre Dame is unranked, Miami looks like a death machine, and MSU goes to South Bend in two weeks

Notre Dame followed the Miami loss with a 50-48 loss to Wisconsin. Miami is now No. 1 after beating Stanford 75-0. Michigan State fans are trying to figure out whether this makes Week 3 better or worse.
