The reason there are rivals is because you dislike them and despise them and would like nothing better than to see them fail. OSU, MSU and Notre Dame drive me crazy and I don't have an ounce of joy seeing them succeed ever. So you dislike NC more than your rivals?

That being said, I do not find myself obligated as a Michigan fan to root for MSU to lose every single game. Heck, I don't even root for OSU to lose every single game! After all, what good would beating an 0-11 team at the end of the season do for Michigan's ranking? I do root for OSU to get embarrassed in bowl games though. As for MSU its the same thing, when they're good, it makes you look good for beating them. And I most certainly was NOT going to root for North Carolina to win! Besides, there's nothing that gets a sparty's blood boiling faster than condescension! That being said, ND is not in our conference. They could lose to Grinell for all I care.

So you don't feel good for little brother winning. I'm real happy that MSU got destroyed. If you are a Michigan fan and you do not hate MSU, OSU, and ND then you are not much of a fan at all. MSU, OSU, and ND you battle every year in sports and on the recruiting trail so these things are big. You need every advantage you can get over them.

You'd think that after they got destroyed the first time trying that he would have changed things up a bit.

Especially because I think MSU could have beat that team if Izzo wasn't convinced he could run with them. Since I hate UNC way more than MSU, I was disappointed.

How did you sleep, Izzo? not sure about the rest of you, but I was happy to see Izzo and MSU get their asses kicked. How did you sleep, Izzo?

Hard to believe CBS could make me feel the Hansbrough love wasn't so bad. At least his time got to the final four, final game, and won the national championship. Griffin's so good, he lifted his team to a whole two more victories than us. And one of those was over us! Agreed, WTHef?, the one shining Griffin moment made me sick.

The background music is the real kicker that puts it over the top. That video makes me wish I wasn’t moving out west in a few months so I could see them play it in the Big House this fall.

That's a HOT way of promoting season tickets. I can not wait to see what's next on the list of next season promotion team video. They want sell-out's for home games with the selling point's turned into a hot video. The excitement is in the air already for next season!

In the first half when Carolina got out to that huge lead Deon Thompson, Hansbrough and Ed Davis ate the Spartans alive. Carolina dominated MSU with their size in the paint.
