OT: MSU Football or Basketball school?

I know I've been reposting a lot of Rittenberg's things the last couple of days but I think this one is especially interesting. I know most of us would argue that MSU is a basketball school but it's interesting to see their responses to the question. Is this a product of recent success or something else?

"It's the Detroit media that's always trying to hold us back."

Are you kidding me? How can you say your school is a football school when you admit that it is a "mostly average program?"  Not only that, but they have no idea what it means to have the Detroit media hold your program back.

MSU is a basketball program in my mind.

plus, we usually think MSU commenters are dumb. and we usually think espn commenters are dumb. so what does that make MSU fans commenting on espn? probably best to walk away from this one
