My father is a Michigan fan as are his other 5 brothers as well as his father FYI. After the Vols I follow Michigan. MSU fans have always had inferiority issues with being the little brother in the state of Michigan.
Little brother has beat um A$$$$ for the last 4 years.
I have an uncle and a cousin that are um grads. Nice people in general. Arrogant A$$es when it comes to football. Not basketball. Not baseball. Just football.
oh, and they think they are better people because they are um grads. I dont have as much of a problem with that opinion, because they went to the school, they can be as proud of it as they want.
The um fans that bother me are the ones that never went to the school, (some never went to ANY school) and still claim that um is such an academically superior university, and that MSU is for people that couldnt get into um. Alums from one school can cut on another all they want. FANS should keep their discussions to sports.
I like to bash um fans. Its fun. But it is just sports. Your dad and your uncles, etc, are probably very good people. But this is a sports message board, please dont take my comment personally.
And yes I went to MSU, and I turned down um. Not only did I turn them down, I ticked off my grandmother by turning them down because I would have been a "legacy", and that was her dream. (I also turned down a full music scholly) I couldnt do it. I saw too much of the attitude from my relatives.
