So. I never went to EITHER school. I had a great friend during Desert Storm that at one time played footbal for State, so of course, that’s who I root for. Mrs xploder, on the other hand, has three brothers and three sisters. Out of the six of them, I believe that five went to MSU, one went to State and one went to Eastern.
Personally, I want State to win because they are ALWAYS the underdog. Last year, they beat the shit out of MSU and I’m hoping they do so again. That way, when the Mrs, me and cristi go back out to the dueling piano bar, I can laugh in the face of the musical director (a good friend) who thinks that State sucks.
there are too many MSU’s. It annoys me. I’m going to be attending Mississippi State University fall of '01 and every time i see or hear MSU my ears prick up. It’s never “MY” MSU, though. :growls a little:
Well, I thought this thread was going to be a discussion over Memphis State’s (MSU) name change to the University of Memphis (U of M). As a big Memphis State basketball fan, I must say I am sorely disappointed.
I’m not a football fan, but if I’ve gotta root for somebody, it’s gonna be State. My sister & her husband both have degrees from there. My mom got her degree from Eastern, which has the same colors.
Although that piano player that you mentioned is a truly fine fellow, I will happily join you in mocking him, should State win. But after the fire that was Michigan rained down from the sky on the heads of Indiana last Saturday, I fear it will be him mocking us. I don’t know diddly about football, but I sure know a butt-whuppin’ when I see one. Sheesh.
hey ** sledman ** I tried to get the city of East Lansing to post one of those signs that say “100 days since our last uprising” at the edge of the city. they wouldn’t go for it. Some people have ** no ** sense of humor.
MSU v. UofM is one of those games (in the company of FSU v. Miami, OSU v. UofM, and Nebraska v. KSU) where I vote for the terrorist. I’m sorry if that sounds aweful, but if both teams could somehow lose this game, that’s the what I want the outcome to be.
In no way does this poster condone acts of violence.
Wring, alright! Another Lansing-ite, er, Lansing-ander, um, well, whatever. did you ever log onto the site East Lansing set up with pictures of rioters? People could email the City police department if they recognized someone. What a riot (laught riot, that is)!
Since I will be starting at MSU (my new job-hooray!) on Monday, of course I have to root for State! Not to mention that my dad got his engineering degree there and my grandfather (his dad) got his degree in microbiology there - it’d be almost treacherous to say “Go Blue”. I’ve even got my fingernails painted green!
