Well, they are the big ten champions. Geez, man. Insecure much? We swept them. That is all that matters. Chill. It is just a dumb magazine cover.

This seems like a sparty thing to post whining about disrespekt...I couldn't give less of a shit if theyre on the pre-tournament cover. It only matters who's on the post-tournament cover.

Fresh off a loss, not even a 1 seed, of course they'd still put them on the cover lmao. Remember when they were a 2 seed but inexplicably called the favorites by pundits only to lose to 15 seed MTSU? MSU is always so overrated.

Idk about you guys, but I personally LOVE this.

Yes, sports media. Keep underestimating us. We'll just keep proving you wrong while you're not paying attention.

One thing's for sure-you WILL have no choice but to pay attention come the morning of April 3!!

I'm going to give them credit for including Elvin Hayes, but where are all the other notables that didn't play for Duke or North Carolina? Where's Danny Manning, Oscar Robertson and Glen Rice? The background images of the cover is national and it is terrible. If you're going to show Bryce Drew, Jimmer and Farokhmanesh, then you should also show U.S. Reed, Whittenburg/Lo Charles, and Tyus Edney.

Really.  

I didn't intend this to be a lordy lordy am I ever pissed off OP.  Rather, th o the contrary it was a somewhat tongue-in-cheek post...........I should have started it by saying "Holy shit!"  But hey, my bad.

This shows the poison in any written word.  "Outrageous" can obviously be interpreted in many different ways, serious to funny.

The humorous posts were om a scale of funny to hilarious  I will have to upvote those.  That is what I enjoy most about MGoBlog.  Some you should be comedy writers.

Then some of you advised me to not take it too seriously.  Thanks but I find the Sparty to UM relationship chippy for the most part.  I gotta admit though that I have grown to really and seriously dislike Izzo and Grumpy.  What a couple of subpreme assholes.  My feelings are not as seriously hateful as that of some bloggers.  I get that; very cool but not my boat.

Were there some nasty posts?  I don't remember, but maybe.

Down votes are what they are; an indication that one didn't like the post.  Again, okay in my book.

Whatever, but most of all, Go Blue!
