Oh, Manchester, So Much To Answer For

sports fans, I present the michigan state spartans. picked by many to be a potential final four team and win the big ten, they're now 9-6 and 1-2 in conference play, after getting beaten by my purdue boilermakers last night, 72-60. purdue? not expected to do much this season? oh, they're only 10-3, 2-0 conference, and 9-0 at home. damned right I'm gloating.

while I'm on the topic, please read jeff shelman's piece on the rough-and-tumble, any team, any night nature of the big ten. fine stuff. and true as hell.
