[Postgame Thread] Michigan State defeats Eastern Michigan, 35-13
[Discussion] Nick Mansour after EMU: “We will coach the clip. We won’t turn the person into the clip.”
“We will coach the clip. We won’t turn the person into the clip.” okay that is annoyingly good.
He knows exactly what sentence is getting clipped and somehow it still works.
PR guy remembered he is a PR guy.
I am not even an MSU fan and I would kill for my coach to answer one question like a normal adult instead of saying “complimentary football” 14 times.
The bar is underground, but yes.
This is why media loves him. We’ll see if players do when they lose.
He absolutely knew the Fredrick Moore question was a trap and just closed the door.
“Privately.” perfect answer.
Also avoids making Moore a week-long topic. Smart.
EMU fan here. He gave our QB credit for avoiding sacks instead of just saying MSU missed sacks. Small thing but I noticed.
Noah Kim turning 25 pressures into like 2 sacks was witchcraft.
He talks too much. Coaches should coach.
You are on Reddit reading press conference quotes, philosopher king.
“Coaches should coach” under a thread about a coach talking is art.
The refusal to talk about the next opponent was probably my favorite part. Everyone wants to fast-forward and he basically said no. Annoying in a good way.
[Week 2 chaos thread] Miami looks terrifying, Notre Dame remembered how to breathe, Michigan scored 13
Miami has 75-0 in the box score and three dudes in the Heisman graphic. That is not a team, that is a weather event.
We are accepting all overreactions at this time.
75-0 against Stanford is a hate crime against the forward pass.
Notre Dame beating Rice 31-7 feels like taking one normal breath after choking on a mozzarella stick for two weeks.
This is too specific to be fake.
ND going from preseason top 3 to “please clap, we beat Rice” is elite content.
Oklahoma 31, Michigan 13. Just wanted to make sure this thread keeps the important stuff near the top.
Thank you for your service.
Michigan will be fine. New offense takes time.
Brother you scored 13.
Ohio State beating Texas 36-21 is the most “oh right, they’re still Ohio State” result possible.
Meanwhile Wisconsin is just quietly 2-0 and waiting to ruin everyone’s day.
Illinois losing to Duke by 17 is the Big Ten result nobody is talking about enough. That is rough rough.
We are talking about it. In private. With lights off.
won by 22, held them to 1 rushing yard, and i still spent the entire third quarter acting like my house was on fire. football is so back.
This is the exact psychological profile of every Big Ten fan outside Columbus.
The third quarter was a group trauma exercise.
Cam Edwards looks like he was air dropped here from a better roster.
As an outsider: yes. That guy is a problem.
Please do not say outsider like that before Wisconsin week.
Eastern had ONE rushing yard and Noah Kim still threw for 304. I have no idea how to file this in my brain.
file under: front seven good, secondary unserious at times
Or file under: Noah Kim revenge game was only half charged.
304 passing yards means the defense was bad. Downvote me all you want.
Tre Bell jumping that screen felt like the first time this defense did something that made me go “oh, that role actually makes sense.”
It was the most satisfying defensive play since like 2021. I am exaggerating but also am I?
Congrats on beating Eastern Michigan.
Thank you for coming to our postgame thread, man who definitely does not care.
The most encouraging thing to me is Hannan did not look haunted after the pick. Low bar maybe. Still important.
He looked mad in a normal way. Not ruined. That matters with a young QB.
Milivojevic wins this game by 40.
Milivojevic discourse after 2 wins should be a misdemeanor.
Braylon Collier is becoming a real thing and I’m trying to be normal about it.
We as a fanbase are not equipped to be normal about any receiver who catches six passes.
Neutral here. I don’t think MSU is good yet, but I also don’t think this is the clown show people wanted it to be.
This is basically where I’m at and I hate that it feels like progress.
“not a clown show” should be on the commemorative cup.
People keep saying 35-13 like it was close. It was 21-0 at half, weird third, then they put it away. Sometimes football is just ugly for 11 minutes.
The ugliest 22-point win discourse you’ll ever see.

The punter has a bazooka attached to his leg and no idea where it’s pointed. I respect it.
