I think this exchange might be a sleeper favorite for Old Takes Exposed this week. I would recommend submitting it to their Twitter account actually. They might find a use for it. 

Or just post it there and see what happens.

Lol what a clown. Michigan owns them on the court. Go slap the court some more you effing tools. Michigan is poised for a big run and sparty is poised to exit the first weekend.

I don't think it's THE YEAR, but it could easily be a better year than last year. That Trey Burke tourney run was just magic. This year kind of feels like that one, but overall talent there are quite a few of teams out there more talented. March is the time to get hot, anything could happen.

To us, and other than that post the dude has been cool. Maybe we ought to be cool to him. The Michigan difference should mean something

Sparty John sounds like a sad person beyond this game result today.  I guess online you can say whatever you want, but I really hope he does not think like that in real life.  I can't imagine being like that 24/7.   Glad most Spartan fans are not like that.

Great game today though.  Go Blue!

P. S. Keep those wagons circled tight and hug your Izzo dolls while you fight back those salty tears, Sparty Trolls.

I just let some bad apples get to my head, but unlike Ward, I was able to shrug it off. I have Michigan alumi and fans as fans irl and I get along just fine. This loss hurts, I won't lie -but I'm not going to act like a jerk because of it.

Michigan outplayed State twice. I think Michigan deserves a 3 seed and is going to be a tough out in the NCAA tournament. I'm not happy with Izzo playing Langford so much when he's useless if he's not making his mid range jumper. I think Michigan got into Ward's head and I was really impressed with MAAR and how Wagner shook off his bad first half and showed why he's a great leader. I really thought Michigan State would play well in the rematch, but Beilein had the Wolverines more prepared and made better second half adjustments than Izzo.

If Winston went Blue, he would almost for sure be a better player than he is today.

Beilein's guards >> Izzo's guards

The facts are the facts on the track record of developing back court players.  That doesn't guarantee Winston would be better off here, but there's a pretty strong set of indicators to that end.

At this point, it's Winston's loss. Turns out we're just fine without him.

Thanks for not running away from your prediction.  I have a family full of Sparty fans and our trash talk never stops.  My lil bro Matt and I talk trash the most, but on game days our talk centers around the game and whats happening.  You're honest in your assessment of the game.  Izzo got out coached and Michigan shut MSU down in the second half.  I think MSU can go far in the NCAA tourney, they can D up and rebound with anybody.  Thank you for not being a TOTAL troll and coming back to MGoBlog to take your lumps.  Go Blue, lets take Purdon't out today and celebrate another Big Ten Tourney TItle!!!
