I like Tom Izzo a lot and would probably vote for him if he ran for President (I'd definitely vote for him if he ran for Governor), but I can't stand State fans. See your average State fan is the same as your die hard State fan. There is no difference because all State fans are alike. They are overwhelmingly subjective, bee sting whiny, and ridiculously uninformed when it comes to common sports knowledge outside of East Lansing.
Nine consecutive State fans called into one of the local talk radio programs here in Grand Rapids to predict how the Spartans would fare this weekend. All nine predicted that State would walk all over UConn and trounce North Carolina Monday night. And the thing about it was, there was no doubt in their minds that this is going to happen. One fan even had the audacity to complain about the spread of the game, saying "I can't believe that State isn't favored in this game. I just don't get it."
Nor do I get you, State fan... nor do I get you.
But I do like their coach, and their defense, and for them to cover against Uconn.
$$$$ State + 4 1/2 vs. Uconn
Hasheem Thebeet will be a factor in this game whether you State fans want to admit it or not. His presence alone will play much more into this game than the 50,000 + State fans who will be packing Ford field with there green and white seat cushions and matching fanny packs. But State's defense and coaching, like it always does, will keep them in the game and could possibly catapult them into the title game where they will get waxed by North Carolina... AGAIN. Play Izzo's team in a tight one.
NBA...
$$$$ Bucks -7 vs. Grizzlies
The Bucks are a good team at home (or at New Jersey) and they're playing a Grizzlies club who's good nowhere. The Bucks have picked up there play of late and should be able to produce a butt kicking against the Grizz. Take the Bucks to walk all over Memphis.

You know kid, I don't know how you feel confident betting on NBA. Those prima donnas mail it in so much you'd have better luck laying 46/54 to the flip of a coin.
ReplyDeleteYou often nail the college games with great insight, then you assume the pros will play with the same intensity. Frankly, I'll stick with the NHL and NCAA.
Yea, especially of late the NBA has been unpredictable. The Bucks murder the Nets in Jersey then they get hammered at home against Memphis. You need to hit this site up with some NHL action. Who do you see winning it all?
