No, he’s a Michigan fan also

He goes both ways. Said so himself.

Don't forget wrestling.

Penn States been winning so long it can’t even be attributed to big 10 money machine. It’s just Cael being Cael

Was hoping for a Tamin appearance too but I’ll take it

Don't forget wrestling.

And UCLA is ranked #1 in baseball.

And UCLA is ranked #1 in baseball.

Also 2/4 teams in the frozen four. But that’s been a Big 10 powerhouse for a while.

Blake looked pretty badass with his dive. Thankfully they didn't show anything after.

I’m pretty sure the only Hawkeye clips in one shining moment was them crying after the loss, unless I missed the Folgueiras 3 pointer which I was sure would be shown

They showed Folger's 3 and then Stirtz later.

This feels like a 20 point game disguised as a 7 point game. Michigan literally can't make any shots outside of the paint.

Agree. If they shot like they did against Arizona, that's a 20pt win.

Minneapolis isn’t far either.

And the Detroit nightmare. PTSD.

Don't care who wins but just shows in this day and age, money can most definitely buy you a championship.

It can also get you dysfunction and underachievement (Kentucky anyone?). And they're just one of many examples of that out there.

Dusty May deserves a ton of credit for putting together a roster of guys who fit his system perfectly, and bought in 100%. His guys play really hard for him, similar to our guys with TJ. Without those things, money alone won't get you a championship.

Hasn't this always been the case?

Be a great way to exorcize those demons.

Playing close hasn't done the trick.

Give me like Pittsburgh/Los Angeles.

Sure looks like May is a hell of a basketball coach. He's not even age 50 yet, there's many more years of this coming.

UCLA had a bag man back when Wooden was there, not saying they wouldn't have won anyway but.......

 

[FriendlySpartan]

There are stupid people everywhere, just like people who cheer for both ISU and iowa.

Went to MSU for undergrad and Michigan for post grad, cheer for both unless they are playing against each other then it’s much more situational but lean MSU for most matchups
