No doubt. I always sort of liked MSU despite them being a conference rival. I mean anyone who loathes scUM can't be all bad!!! I even had a State hat in college. Then I started posting on these boards and Babs really made me not like MSU so much anymore. Right now IMO Sparty is the class of the Big 10 and while the likes of IU with Sampson, Bucky with Ryan and tO$U with Matta have/will narrow the gap I still think Sparty holds onto that spot.Shoalzie wrote: I have to admit...without Babs around, it's much easier to give compliments to State. Obnoxious fans make it difficult to say nice things about a rival team. I'm not hesitant to give State props when they earn it.

So how was the comedy. Michigan gave the Buckeyes all they wanted.MgoBlue-LightSpecial wrote:Looks like I'm going to the Michigan-Ohio St game this afternoon.
This bend-over-fest should be comical.
Fuck Michigan.
On to the NIT.

It was comedy gold, my friend. Comedy gold.
Nothing better than a soldout Bitchagain crowd going crazy with their team up by 7 with about 3 to go, believing they're going to pull the upset, only to have depressing reality set in soon thereafter.
I was laughing my ass off. Especially after Courtney Sims missed that dunk.

If you eliminate the games played against the bottom 3 teams (Minnesota, Northwestern and Penn State), this would be the conference standings...
Ohio State.....10-1
Wisconsin.....7-3
Indiana.....6-6
Iowa.....5-6
Purdue.....4-6
Michigan State.....5-8
Illinois.....4-7
Michigan.....4-8
I think this is a better indicator of who are the best teams in the conference. Michigan is definitely dead meat when you strip away the gimme games. Plus, they have no quality wins out of conference.

Good stuff there Shoalz. Looks like IU is clearly the 3rd team in the pecking order.

No fucking way UM gets in without winning the auto invite. This team is so frustrating to me. Inconsistent, long offensive dry spells in nearly every game, no decent outside shooters, soft inside. I seriously can't visualize winning more than one game in the Dance or the NIT. Get the season over with already.
