The arrogance of Michigan State is appalling

[El Supremo]

What's with the "State" on their jerseys?

Are they the only school whose name is xxx state? I don't think so. And why do they wear caps with just "S" on them?

Bet they wouldn't do that shit if Kansas State had made it to the Final Four.

1. I'm gonna have to give them a pass on this one

because at least I don't have to look at Tennessee orange unless I happen to be on the highway that they're cleaning up that day. :P

2. Tradition

They're probably the school most associated with "State" in college athletics, and thats how they've always been. Just saw a picture of Magic cutting down the nets in '79 and his jersey was simply "State" as well.

3. Good thing Indiana State didn't do that in that game

Color blind people wouldn't have been able to tell the two schools apart.

ps: Using "tradition" to justify something doesn't make it right. Once upon a time it was "tradition" to smoke in elevators. Should that practice be perpetuated?

4. Its different in sports

Sports is all about tradition. In Detroit, hockey fans throw octopi on the ice during playoff games. You can say it sounds stupid, but its been done to the point that its a big part of the playoff experience in Detroit. Its the same with throwing Gatorade on a coach, hockey playoff beards and dotting the I in the OSU marching band. Tradition is what makes the game great.

5. So it would be ok to smoke in elevators if athletes did it and called it a tradition?

Whatever.

6. Bad argument

Smoking is kills, wearing a jersey saying "State" doesn't. If smoking wasn't harmful, and didn't reek, then it'd be fine.

7. Smoking is kills?

What are you is smoking?

8. ...

Do you have an actual rebuttal to what I said? Its a message board, the rules for posting are pretty relaxed.

[taterguy]

9. Do you think I'd waste a rebuttal on someone who can't spell the word "it's"?

[Forkboy]

10. Whether you mean it or not....

...you're one of the funniest fuckers on this board. I probably shouldn't encourage you. :)

14. Come on Tater...

Your smack talk is awfully weak.

Can't smack talk because of misspelled words?

You're kidding right?

16. I've said this before to him

I can't tell most of the time if he is being serious or kidding around. Seriously.

This is one of many of those times.

Thanks dude for protecting us from incorrect usage. Work on getting a better strawman on.

11. If you shared a state with UMichigan you would wear 'State' too. nt

12. Just LOOK at that cutie pie pic you posted. Wouldn't you be arrogant, too?
