In all honesty, my thought is that hyper-partisan Internet anonymity has fanned the flames of this rivalry and how I feel about MSU. That is definitely the case regarding how I feel about Marquette. Which is unfortunate, but as mentioned, makes rivalries more intense, and that's a fun part of sports. Best of luck to the Spartans, looking forward to a great rematch in Madison.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02832412464964102045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791900055012948732.post-33847758436361287082010-01-12T07:52:13.132-06:002010-01-12T07:52:13.132-06:00Scott,

I thought my comment was fair -- do you really think MSU is a clear favorite to win the league? You lost two really important guys from the team that went to the FF and won the Big Ten.<br /><br />As for my dislike of MSU, your coach, while undeniably successful, is a whiny, manipulative runt who clearly detests our program. Certain players in recent years have really gotten under my skin, notably Davis and Neitzel, and in his last year Suton. Your other guys whine about how we play dirty, when your teams are just as aggressive. And from everything I read your fans absolutely detest everything about our program. Substitute Bo, Butch and Krabbenhoft for the previous sentences and a State fan could have written it (aside from the whining part, our guys don't whine).<br /><br />It's the stuff of a terrific rivalry, no? Just wish we were winning more of the matchups like we were earlier in the decade!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02832412464964102045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791900055012948732.post-22813596259218729552010-01-11T14:03:19.597-06:002010-01-11T14:03:19.597-06:00After watching both Purdue and Michigan State this...After watching both Purdue and Michigan State this week, they would still be my choice as the two best teams in the Big Ten, but I can't decide who's better. "Comparing personnel, I like Moore, Hummel, Johnson and Kramer more than anyone on State's team, save for maybe Lucas and maybe Green. But it's not that decisive over Summers, Allen, Roe, Morgan, Lucious, et al, and those guys are much better than anyone past Purdue's starting five. Quantity versus quality? Guess it depends on fouls and health when they play."<br /><br /><br />Scott...MSU guys have experience and have played in a final four....wait they won a big ten.I know u dislike MSU...any personal reason???Bob (east lansing)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5791900055012948732.post-82522121053934567522010-01-11T13:01:43.821-06:002010-01-11T13:01:43.821-06:00Bo's comment is gold:
