As a fellow MSU fan...I know where you're coming from..but here in New England I hafta deal w/ the whole "Irish catholic" movement that suffocates this region..and w/ Notre Dame back to their old ways..it's almost become unbearable
That is understandable, the ESPN's constant blowjob of ND is closing the gap for the hatred, if I had to hear about shit from a ND fan I may hate them more too, but I will never forget when they cheered in the Big House when Stanton went down with an injury
Wouldn't MSU fans in this instance WANT Michigan to win as a statement of the strength of the Big 10 Conference?
I hate Notre Dame so much, my Buckeye blood doesn't even question wanting Michigan to win. Just this one game.
That would be like rooting for the Dolphins to win, my hatred for Michigan goes beyond Big 10 lines and plus we can show the strength of the Big 10 a week after anyway, and I think that the vast majority of MSU football fans will agree with me
No, because in the Dolphins case, National Ranking have nothing to do with Playoff Qualification. College footbal is much more subjective than the pro's. As a Villanova fan, even I SAW the benefit to 'Nova in Georgetown upsetting Duke last year!
First off, you are vastly underestimating my hatred for Michigan, secondly no matter how Michigan does, the Big Ten will be a top 3 conference, thirdly college basketball takes much more pride in conference performance than college football, and lastly the conference pride that you speak of that may be lost in Michigan, MSU gets Notre Dame next week so it means a lot less anyway
Agreed.... I love the Buckeyes (and the Hokies) for football, but since I've lived in Jersey and now Villanova all my life, I haven't had as much hatred for Michigan. Notre Dame fans, having gone to Catholic schools forever, are everywhere. So I hope ND loses.
I hate Chad Henne even more than I hate Quinn. He committed to PSU then backed out at the last minute. The only reason I'd rather see Michigan win this game is because a good friend is a fan, and none of my friends are ND fans. And it's not necessarily who we think will win. The question is, who would we rather see win, so yes, in that regard, you are 100% correct. We all hate ND.
