It’s the best.

Had a scheduling issue today. Will be going tomorrow.

Also, I found your takes, but they weren’t as a reply. Just happened to come across my timeline and figured they were for us.

Appreciate you.

I think over 5.5 is the play. But there are a lot of other teams on the schedule that are hard to know exactly what they are - USC, Minnesota, Indiana, Nebraska. And Michigan, if the Wolverines are starting a true freshman QB.

Couch: Aidan Chiles endured last MSU football season 'over and over' again on film. He's ready for a new chapter. Aidan Chiles suffered through his mistakes last season. And endured them again this offseason on film, "over and over." He's ready for a new chapter.

MSU QB Aidan Chiles, like you, suffered through his mistakes last season. He’s studied them “over and over.”

“There are plays that I do well. … And there are also plays where (it’s) like, ‘What are you doing?’ ”

He's ready for a new chapter.

It’s hard to imagine MSU's football team winning 9 or 10 games this season, given the last couple of years.

But if you’re looking for hope as MSU begins fall camp Tuesday morning, just know that most of MSU’s best seasons have come by surprise.
