Ryan–
I’m sure that you are quite sensitive to the issues of Detroit’s economic situation judging by your IP address, but there is a difference between cracking jokes at the economic situation of a city that is largely self-inflicted (not keeping up with the times and union/management issues) and making racist comments about a guy based on his ethnicity.

The fact that you continue to revel in calling Thabeet “Jungle Man” and try to make rtmsf’s economic criticisms of Detroit into something racial is even more ridiculous.

P.S. The joke is not on us. Both rtmsf and I are doing fairly well financially and have relatively safe, high-paying careers.

I get it. Cracking jokes about the misfortune of a city that is virtually all black is ok, but “Jungle Man” is somehow a slur.

The joke is on you guys.

If you bothered to read the post you would see that I questioned the assertion that the Spartans were overrated, but I guess you Spartan fans (along with Ryan) can’t be bothered with reading (or class considering Ryan still thinks it is funny using racial slurs in 2009).

Before you Spartan fans start talking trash you might want to try winning a title because that’s the only victory people will remember years from now and if you watched the Michigan State home game in December you might want to wait about 36 hours until you start trashing other teams.

Good grief you guys are lame! The Spartans took it to UConn in every facet of the game. Overrated?

Ha! The Big East was the most OVERRATED conference this year in the country.

Give it a rest.

Mondays game is gonna be fun and a heck of a lot closer than many think.

First Mr. Kellogg doesn’t realize there’s no circle in college bball.

Second, the refs are calling “And 1″s like its the NBA with continuance. Yuck.

Nothing yet. He hasn’t “signed with the agent” or declared himself yet, but Draftexpress did just report the rumor at 7PM, and the major news sources have been mainly distracted if you haven’t noticed. Some silly basketball games of no importance on tonight.

Ummm, i never get that. WHY WOULD YOU PLAY ROY’S AUDIO WHEN YOU KNOW HE CURSED?

(Predictably, Roy’s comments were “Oh FUCK THAT”

Curious bit from draftexpress:

Gerald Henderson is also expected to announce he’s leaving college shortly, and is expected to hire an agent with strong ties to Duke.

Rather surprising to me the part about an agent. I’ve long since been resigned to Henderson leaving, but him hiring an agent so early is surprising to me. One draft expert has him not in the lottery (Chad Ford) and I’d imagine he’d want to test the draft without an agent and only leave if he was lottery or close enough. Especially if John Wall was to commit to Duke (Wall is expected to commit on April 19th…somewhere).

Sigh.

MSU is undoubtedly the 2nd best team in the nation. Maybe they get some breaks on Monday v. UNC? Maybe not.

But you got to love deep teams with options. UConn had no other options. Izzo had/has 3 or 4 sitting on the bench at all times. Got to love that kind of coaching AND player development. No reason other teams (UNC) cant be like that too.

Go MSU!

For the record, i’ll remind you rtmsf that you thought Nova was a bad match up, while I said this would be a UNC rout.

Just saying.

rtmsf, i thought stephenson was so favored to go to KU anyhow. It makes KU a much better team, but they’ll need that since i think cole aldritch is gone.

Ok guys, I’m off to the bar for the UNC game. Take care.

And NOW this game is over.

EDIT, to explain, my outrage is that MSU gets and AND 1 there. Seriously awful officiating. All Round.
