got our defensive player of the week honors and only played 13 snaps. Holy smokes we deep on DL. I am so fired up by Grantham right now I can't wait to watch us play defense again. I haven't said that since we played Clemson in the peach bowl in 1999.

We are definitely better on defense...

...but people need to pump the brakes a little until we play an actual FBS opponent

I found myself going to the concession stands when we were on offense.
Haven't done that in a Loooonnnggg time!

Exactly.

I'm as excited as anyone (well maybe not), but this was a game against a one-dimensional FCS team.

Let's at least wait until we play La. Tech before we anoint this team's D the second coming of the 1985 Bears.

We're Mississippi State fans. We've had one foot on the brake since 1942.

Of course, we have to wait till we play a better team to see just how good we are, but the difference of speed, ball recognition, line strength and gang tackling is so refreshing, it has all of us sprouting wool.

****! The difference in tackling was making me recheck the channel to make sure I had the right game.

Right, which is what

I've said in a number of posts, but comparing this D to 1999 (at this point) is silly.

Sumlin should have watched this to see how to run clock with a lead. Also, those Uniforms are the best looking we have had until recently (2014 to present).

Btw - why don't we use that MSU logo **********

I didn't compare them to the 99 team. I said I haven't been this excited to watch our defense since the 99 team.

In a

sense, you did. But it isn't that big of a deal. The main point is, people need to pump the brakes, for right now.

They were aggressive, physical, and wrapping up. That's an improvement.

Hea Kurt - can we count on you to brake pump for us, just for one more week?

We are the brotherhood known as SPS.(insert secret hand-sign here.) If we cant count on the old timers to pump the brake for the crowd, then we aren't much of a brotherhood.
