I hope everyone recognizes how spoiled we Spartans are right now, and I'm not even talking about the weather the past week here in East Lansing. I am talking about how, between our basketball and football teams the last 6 years or so, we have all been more spoiled than the bitches on "My Super Sweet Sixteen."
(barf)...sorry...still recovering from Saturday...anyway...
Sit back and put things into perspective: our football team has made bowl games during every current undergrad students tenure, and those bowl games have been getting progressively better as the years go on (we can leave out everyones devastation after we ran into the punter). We have dominated B1G basketball for a while now, but if you have been a 4-year student at MSU during the last 12 years, you have experienced your school in the Final Four at least once.
I believe that between our Athletic Director Mark Hollis, and coaches Dantonio and Izzo, we have excellent leadership at the top of our athletic departments. Great leaders produce great leaders. Numerous sports writers or bloggers have placed Dantonio/Izzo as the top football/basketball coaching combinations in the country out of all universities, and no matter what happens the rest of this hoops tournament both our football and basketball squads will finish the year as one of the top 10 teams in the country. In my opinion, if your school has a football team and a basketball team that finish in the top 10, that gives you one of the best athletic PROGRAMS in the country. It should make everyone feel good about paying money to go support the team at the games and hopefully donating money after you graduate from this place.
My point is, everyone likes a winner. Since this is a positive post, I won't even get into the past...we all know Spartans have experienced our fair share of losing teams. Not now. Not anymore. We have winners like Mark Dantonio and Tom Izzo, and they are creating winners like Kirk Cousins and Draymond Green. We are not only dominating the state of Michigan, we are dominating the country...and we're not done yet.
Winners follow winners. We are spoiled right now as Spartans. It may be the weather, but for us, right now...winning has never felt so good.
Go Green. Forever.
