1 year 20 weeks ago	Correct rooting interests	B1G over SEC except the unholy triumvarate. Never ND, MSU, or OSU.
1 year 20 weeks ago	No it does not	The honor of the conference does not exist. This is the worst reason to root for any team, much less MSU.
1 year 20 weeks ago	No No NO	Please God no.
1 year 21 weeks ago	The Under the Sun game?	The Under the Sun game?
1 year 22 weeks ago	Don't challenge Rule 34	Don't challenge Rule 34
1 year 22 weeks ago	Does the kickoff return data factor in likelihood of a fumble?	I'm guessing not.   In other words, an average return to the 21 with a 2% lost fumble opportunity probably isn't worth an average return to the 20 with a 0% chance of a fumble. Not to mention that median return should probably be used here, not average.
1 year 26 weeks ago	ohio is not our biggest rival in every sport	Why do you think this?
1 year 26 weeks ago	yes, this is an important point	Ohio is clearly our biggest rival in football, but State is clearly our biggest rival in every other sport. The game trumps all, but in every other sport, I'd rather beat sparty
1 year 27 weeks ago	Urban Meyer at the PSU game?	Clearly this means he's going to be the next coach there. Has he bought a house yet?
1 year 28 weeks ago	It's not that simple	The DOJ doesn't want the laws they use weakened. Period. They're not going to let some sort of flimsy precedent on FERPA be established that they then have to tackle when they're actually actively interested in preserving some sort of federal documentation that's important.
1 year 28 weeks ago	Uhhhh	You want to revise this statement?
1 year 30 weeks ago	Mid-January	Last year it was January 10th, from the brewery, so maybe a little longer to reach anywhere.
1 year 31 weeks ago	Confused/pretty sure I disagree with you	While I agree that the lateral call was a big miss, you refer to it as a "free touchdown" when there is pretty much no way we get more than 5 yards -- if any -- on a fumble return on that play. There were MSU players all around the ball at the time they blew the play dead.
1 year 31 weeks ago	As Belisarius states	Whether in incident is in the heat of the moment, or rather, within the course of the game, makes a huge difference in punishment.   Additionally, you don't think missing the Wisconsin game (MSU's biggest game of the year) will dissuade him from engaging in similar behavior in the future?
1 year 31 weeks ago	Not at the same level at all	As far as premeditation, violence, and the rarity of the occurences. One game in this case seems sufficient.
1 year 31 weeks ago	The world is filled with racists that have minority co-workers	Once again, nothing indicates that Lewan did anything wrong. I'm just trying to shoot down these very poor logical arguments.
1 year 31 weeks ago	I disagree	If it is determined that one of our players used a racial slur, even on the field, I would expect our coaching staff to take immediate severe action. I'd say that's just as bad as a punch and a 1 game suspension is in order.   With that being said, there's nothing that indicated that there was any issue with that here.
1 year 31 weeks ago	You are the worst type of person	Please leave.
1 year 31 weeks ago	You are the worst type of person	Please leave.
1 year 31 weeks ago	Pure conjecture	I can't believe some of you believe this drivel. Section 1 has no basis or theory for what was said, he's just speculating.
1 year 31 weeks ago	You mean like McGill?
1 year 31 weeks ago	You . . .	. . . are a dick
1 year 31 weeks ago	Only count Smoltz as a Spartan if you count Jeter as a Wolverine	Both attended school for less than a semester in order to posture the MLB teams that drafted them.
1 year 33 weeks ago	WHO?!?	WHO?!?
1 year 33 weeks ago	Outside of their games against Boston	TB is 11-9 in September. TB being the hottest team in the AL is a pretty common misconception right now.
1 year 34 weeks ago	Dude	That retort was so original I almost fell off my dinosaur.
1 year 34 weeks ago	Definitely the Sox/Rays, hosting	Home field advantage is a pretty big deal, like most sports. Not to mention if you the Red Sox OR the Rays you're going to get jumbled rotations from them in a 5 game series.   The Rays will at least have Davis, Niemann, or Moore available for game 1. The Red Sox rotation will be a complete shambles.   In the MLB playoffs, you should never look ahead. Forget getting the Yankees in a 5 game series. Let's just hope somebody from the other side knocks them off.
1 year 34 weeks ago	Disagree with "Any " ____________ STATE U" is a little bro."	First, specifically with Arizona. I'd say it's pretty even and if anything slight overall advantage to ASU on this one. Their school isn't better academically, but it is more popular with a slight edge in football and baseball (big chasm between basketball however). Also, see Idaho, North Dakota, South Dakota, Lousiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and other states without a dominant flagship.
1 year 34 weeks ago	This is definitely not true	Sure there are cultural differences, but those are (somewhat) glossed over time. There is a ton of application overlap between these two schools; and the inferiority complex is vast and traditionally is present in all sports (MSU, for example, has traditionally been superior in basketball) as well as academics.
1 year 34 weeks ago	Complete correct	There is no rivalry between Texas and TTU; Texas/A&M is probably the closest comparable to UM/MSU in the country.   Also, Ole Miss/MSU(NTMSU) fits into the little brother category much more so than the even footing category.
