Snagged front row seats for this game. 46 bucks a seat.

Petrino's son-in-law is the current MSU head coach and his son is the OC. His influence is still felt throughout the program. They are a very prideful bunch.

We belong in FBS because Missouri has over 6 million people and Springfield has 170,000 residents. We have better commitment and athletic infrastructure than roughly half the current Conference USA, Sun Belt, and MAC Stadiums. One of my really good friends traveled to Amherst for the Mizzou/UMASS game and he said Missouri State had much better facilities across the board in everything. I've driven by the Arkansas State campus on two occasions and we have them beat as well. Just a couple examples.

Maybe Missouri State can pull an SDSU type deal (i.e. SDSU has had way more success in the FCS than they had in D2.) I do like the new stadium you've got down there.

What is their strength of schedule. Excuse me for not being impressed with wins over Lidenwood, UT Martin, Youngstown, Illinois St, Indiana St, UNI, and S. Illinois. I expect a 14+ point win.

Polasek said Cole Wisniewski will not play this week but that the South Dakota game would be the "over/under" for him. He said that Cole is running but hasn't gotten to the point where he's doing team activities at practice. Will need to go back and listen to it to absorb it better but seems like he's getting close to being back.

Sounds like Benson will be back but that Duffie will still be out (had surgery on his finger and trying to figure out a splint for it). It almost sounded like Coach P was going to knock the podium over when he was talking about how he wants to see Benson force his way back into the lineup because he's not going to just be given starting reps back with as well as Enock Sibomana is playing.

I have no issue with someone needing to earn their way back in if the replacement has played as well as Enock. Steel sharpens Steel.

Some of the point totals they've given up are crazy, but I just want a win.

Winning this game locks up a share of the conference title after all.

Does polasek get paid by pepsi to set the mt dew in frame during press conferences?

I noticed it after I got a mt dew out of my fridge lol. Subliminal advertising.

Yes, pepsi is massive sponsor. Any press conference you see with a coach will have bottle of aquafina, pepsi, or mt dew on the podium.

Gotta ride the hot hand. Enock should continue to play and let Benson run on the specials. If Enock starts shitting the bed then put Benson in but its clear there is no drop off and it could be argued that Enock is playing better than Benson was prior to getting hurt.

Wow imagine having depth at a position.
