Everyone's a Spartan Tonight

Go Michigan State!

Why should I root for the Spartans over the North Carolina Tarheels?

  • Michigan State beat KU and there's something that hurts less when the team that knocks you out goes on to win it all.
  • Two words: Roy Williams.
  • I have friends at church that are Michigan State alumni.
  • Everyone loves an underdog. There's fear that North Carolina will win by double digits and make it a boring game and no one (outside of North Carolina) wants that.
  • Roy Williams is going to cry either way.
  • North Carolina already has four championships (1957, 1982, 1993, 2005), where Michigan State has only won twice (1979, 2000).
  • You gotta feel bad for all those unemployed union workers in Michigan right?
  • Did I mention Roy Williams? It still hurts. Nothing will make the pain go away. Okay?!
  • Proper KU fans still hate North Carolina for beating Wilt Chamberlain in triple-overtime in the national championship game of 1957. Coincidentally, North Carolina had previously beaten Michigan State in triple-overtime to play Kansas.
  • Tom Izzo actually is the down-to-earth, blue-collar, regular guy that Roy Williams pretends to be. [Sorry, I'm working something out here.]

Now maybe if you would have been a little nicer to Roy while he was here he could have won you a few National titles.
