I just saw that Chambers is moving on. No idea if it’s to coach ball or not.

He's now showing as an offensive QC at Iowa State for 2026.

For some reason ESPN doesn't post SCTop10 on Youtube.

Isn’t Myles Coach Vigen’s nephew? What an extremely special moment for them.
Yes. Molly's sisters son I believe.

A win like that on national tv with what I assume had a lot of eyes on it should do wonders for the university as a whole too:

My only complaints about the venue. Seating rows were tiny, smaller than the East grandstands. Tough to get around. The massive amount of humanity trying to get to their seats. Crazy how blocked up those entryways got. Women's bathrooms backed up and overflowed. Men's seemed okay.
I totally agree. Stadium felt cramped.

We sat in what's typically the student section I guess, and the seat numbers didn't match up with the tickets. The usher told the lady in front of us to just start counting at the wall toward the center to find your seats. Well that's just dumb! And didn't work very well at all. So people just kind of sat wherever in their row but not the actual seat number. Hopefully they fix that before next year, as it was very confusing.

Has anyone been able to watch the post game celebration and trophy presentation video on ESPN? I can't access it for some reason. I'd really like a recording.

I am wondering if the school is going to use it for next Saturday? And then maybe it will be posted. I couldn’t access it either after I saw it the first time.

I learned something new about fumbles after this game


“Fumbling Forward in College Football
General Rules on Fumbles
In college football, a fumble occurs when a player loses possession of the ball before being downed. If the ball is fumbled forward and then recovered by the same team, they can advance it. However, specific rules apply depending on the down.
Recovery and Advancement Rules
1st to 3rd Down: Any player on the offensive team can recover a fumble and advance it for a touchdown.
4th Down: Only the player who fumbled the ball can recover and advance it for a touchdown. If another player recovers the fumble, the play is dead, and the ball is returned to the spot of the fumble.”

Lamson had a similar play against Yale. Fumbled at the goal line and Chris Long fell on it in the endzone for a touchdown.

On a selfish note. I’m pumped the Cats were wearing my favorite uniforms. Because in 20 years when MSU does throwback unis to 2025, they’re going to look fantastic.
