The Last Dance: MSU Vs. UNC

How does one type up goosebumps? How does one convey a pee-pants level of excitement? How does one write the feeling of wanting to puke, but in a good way, without sounding putrid? I’ll tell you how…
Three words: One Shining Moment.
Tonight’s game at Ford Field in Detroit is sure to be a nail-biter; with two teams who have been here often and are practised in cutting little pieces of net down at the end. Now allow MZ and I to bloviate on why our favored team should and will walk away with the key to the city, the crown to the throne and the trophy to Bragging Rights for one year’s time.
MZ
Thirty-five points. That right there should be the end of any discussion. These two have played once already and it wasn’t close. Sure Suton was out, but we can’t pretend like he’s the plug that makes the Spartans go. Lawson’s foot is fine, Hansbrough is still the team’s emotional leader (and takes the overblown media attention from his teammates) and the rest of team fill their role to perfection. Not to say that this will be easy, as Izzo’s team has been spectacular since it’s been freed from the Big Ten’s rough and rugged play. They can play at any tempo and know what to do in a close game.
As for this being Michigan’s chance at redemption from the Recession, I’m not buying. The same problems that were present before tip-off will still be present after Carolina’s cutting down the nets. Not to mention the fact that the Tar Heel state has been hit hard by the auto industry as well. Obviously not like Detroit, but enough for them to “deserve” a title based on economic troubles as well. I’m an admitted Carolina fan, but I’d love to see all the announcers anoint Hanbrough the greatest thing since sliced bread. They been giving him verbal fellatio for four years and I think a few talking heads will literally explode when he wins a chip.
So enjoy your last shining moment Tyler, before you follow in the footsteps of Raef Lafrentz.

Gah-lee! Wooooooo…My Spartans. My beloved. My alma mater. Man oh man…I never really thought I’d feel something as good as the Pistons’ win in ‘04, but this is second to none. I went to Detroit with a group of MSU fans and friends last Saturday. Let me tell you there’s nothing quite like a city full of strangers hugging each other, jumping up and down together, clinking beer, acting a fool. My adrenalin and endorphins were so spent after the win against UConn that I’m still a wee bit down and out. The only thing I can foresee pulling me from the doldrums is a State win tonight.
That said…Suton, Lucas and Summers look so primed under Izzo’s guidance this tournament, I’d be surprised if anyone could breech their ability to control the game’s tempo. The Green and White proved a slow pace possible against a Louisville press, and washed UConn right out of their own speedy style of play. And December game be damned — I don’t give a flying who-zee-what-sit about a regular season loss to UNC. Michigan State unseated the top seeded team this tourney like it was as easy as asking them to catch the next train to Kentucky.
Toot! Toot! All aboard the crap wagon, Tar Heels. Sparty is ready to flex his muscles on the hardwood.

Should I cheer for the Big Ten…or the team that’s obviously gonna win? That is the question…
now i see what’s got the beautiful and talented miss Weber so enthusiastic this fine evenin’…good luck to you and your Spartans, they’re probably gonna need it (sorry)…but i’ll be rooting for them – UNC is too fuckin polished and clean…i’d like to see Michigan State recreate 300 tonight and take down the big dogs
As much as I can’t stand #50 for UNC (I refuse to add to his Christian Laetner-esque hype by saying his name), the boys in blue should win this one going away. Ultimately, I’m picking the team w/the most pro prospects to win in a winner-take-all game…
I love you like a kissin’ cousin, LC, but UNC comes at you in droves…and a team (MSU) that not only jacked my bracket up, but also has a player named Lucious (which is WAY too close to Cedric The Entertainer’s “Delicious”) shouldn’t be allowed to take the Men’s Championship trophy.
Imagine him winning the MVP, and Clark Kellogg having to say Lucious over and over again… EW. That’d…just be…awkward???
Good run by MSU though.
WooWoo!! I AM enthusiastic tonight, sherm! I can’t WAIT to talk about this game tomorrow…
…unless MSU loses… in which case you can expect to not see me around tomorrow. I’ll be sleeping in, shades drawn, blocking out the light of day, ignoring phone calls.
SPARTA!
hopefully he makes it to the NBA so we can hear Marv Albert say Lucious
MSU.
But NC will probably win.
But MSU…they’ve been bringin it to mofos each & every round. Every time I think they’re outmatched, they clamp down on D, stretch their zone & make it happen.
I root for the Big 10 except for when they play Carolina in basketball (outside of my alma mater OSU).
oh shit, i almost forgot: a double fuck you to UNC for makin my Wildcats look like a fuckin high school squad…i hope Hansbrough tears his ACL and Ellington breaks both ankles
I’m one of those college fans that doesn’t care once his bracket is done. I’d rather have UNC win cause I don’t know any annoying UNC fans, and I do know an annoying MSU one.
I’m pulling for you and your Spartans LC.
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE © KG
LC….Luv you girl but since your team will most likely get beat tonite by the mighty blue and white… I offer you and others this Mix joint Karriem Riggins put together to ease the pain….Easy listening as this shit is FIRE from beginning to end…Peace y’all..

30 yr Anniversary hype
^^^ lol @ the eastbound & down gravie
MSU beat my Kansas Jayhawks…. so if I cheer for anyone, it’ll be the team that beat mine. That way I can say we lost to the best.
With that said…. UNC by 22 pts. lol
LOL @ D. Howser
How have you been, good sir? Been a bit. Got the skinny on any good music I should know about? If you say New Boyz, I’ll revoke our friendship.
As a general rule, I detest all things Big Ten sans Kendall Gill’s Illini squad and CWebb’s Fab Five. I’ve just met way too many beer pongin’ moochin’ off mommy douches from these schools (or as i like to say— “doo-shays”).
With that said, I’d luv to see MSU pull it off. not because of Izzo’s gonna save the auto industry by winning, and not because a win means more shots of Lupe (how’d that happen in Michigan?)…
No i wanna MSU win because I’m convinced that Roy Williams is dirtier than Jerry Tarkanian’s dentures and it just hasn’t come out yet. That can is sellin’ snake oil and soakin’ the labels off as he hands you the bottle. Dude just oozes “weasel juice” and he don’t need another trophy in his case.
Tyler Hansborough is Brian Cardinal with better hair. (Word to Mike Dunleavy, Jr.)
…and my stupid ass team MSU can’t play like they deserve to be there.
well…that was a good game
Game. Blouses.
Light-Blue Safety School is wearing blouses right now.
(That’s the best I can offer as a Dukie).
Game. Blouses.
===========
LMAO!
Any Must-See TV coming on @ 10:00?
Im givin this one to NC for absolutely no reason other than jersey color, and thats all I got to give towards Basketball ladies and gents.
Honestly cant tell you how bad I wanna add to this, but I got shit all to contribute except straight insider knowledge from the resident Canadian – shit all.
Ricky Steamboat on RAW right now…wrestling. He’s performing better than MSU
I mean MSU, but NC coming out hard
oh well… at least all the MSU guys will get sympathy sex for the rest of the school year.
@ OED
That wasn’t at LC, that’s a friend in my personal life. I don’t consider someone rooting for a team like LC is annoying, but someone who screams in my ear about the greatness of MSU constantly is an annoyance.
SIGH!!!! Sorry LC. We’ll talk to you Wednesday.
Good news is humiliation is a strong deterant from couch burning, so East Lansing should be safe tonight.
This Ray J shit is actually looking a little bit more interesting than the game. Unbelieveable.
^^^
I’m turning to it
MSU sucks…. (I know that’s a strong statement, but DAMN).
Well,… the Spartans did lose in 300.
D Howser …. what Ray J ish?
You know…. that Flavor Flav remake on VH1.
Well,… the Spartans did lose in 300
========================================
actually they didnt….only the 300 lost. Then the other gajillion came in to wax that Persian ass after Leonidus fell. No homo.

^ True… well if the first 300 couldn’t do it… I know these 12 can’t. lol
Like wearing a smediun pair of tighty-whities, MSU is experiencing too much ball pressure.
This looks like some Bull. Why is everyone wearing Sunglasses??????? Fake ass fools.
And Tom Green. Get tha fawk oudda here!!!!
What’s college basketball?
This isn’t the post about Asher Roth?
W-T Fuck.
This shit is a bag of farts.

===================================
Yeah, They did her dirty lol.
I knew UNC would win, a fool would think otherwise, but at least make it a game. Magic needs to bust out his high shorts and come play PG for em then they’d have a chance
Will this even be worth watching on DVR?
No.
MZ save the space on your DVR.
UNC has Slept The Leg. Fear doesn’t exist in their Dojo. I love it.
LMAO
What Magic needs to do is slap a Converse logo on his MSU shirt. That didn’t sit well with me on Saturday.
this shit is so bad i just switched on the hills (AYOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!)
I take it LC’s team…didn’t win?
I don’t think I’ve ever seen her give a one word comment lol.
second half is just starting lol
^^ Damn! It’s like that? lol
lol…..its worse cuz LC moved back to the D!!!
Danger………..UNC smashed the Spartans!!!!
^ Hahahahahaaa
UNC will win by 22 pts.

“cues up Beck’s ‘Loser’”
This shit…dear god. UNC can’t be that fuckin good but I guess they are b/c MSU has been good all tourney.
It’s once again…cold…in the D.
Somebody page Mateen, Charlie, and Morris before this gets completely out of hand.
so goddamn cold in the D…first it comes out that the average house price is 18 grand (yes, 18 thousand), now this? Detroit teams stay winnin, tho (or at least getting there) so they can’t be that salty

^mike tyson movie via david d.
===============================
Last week I was twitting about the Wolverine movie leak…then some anti-piracy lawyer started following me.
With that being said…that’s via a different “David D.”
I dont even see how their sports teams winning will help, boosting spirits is cool and all but that will be over in a week or so.
*takes off glasses*
*pulls up blanket*
Can someone cut the light on the way out? Thanks in advance.
*rolls over*
^girl, you betta take them birkenstocks off before you get in the bed
Whats that skit with the chick goin “Its cold, so cold” or whatever, I think its Outkast.
tyson doc. or tyson hbo flick?
* future headline *
Exiting the arena the UNC Tarheels were forced to relinquish their championship to rapper Trick Trick, in what is being reportedly being called a “hood tax”….
More information as it becomes available.
Whats the point of starting the full court press with 7:30 left. They should have been doing that shit since the beginning of the half
Only thing the D has to look forward to is Kwame getting out….. oh wait….. That aint so good either!!!
DAMN! At least ya’ll got ……………….. hip hop?!
Iverson needs to come off the bench to finish this mini-comeback.
Lucious just pulled what we call an “Al Harris v. Plaxico”
At least we have Eminem to look forward to. This song better not suck.
UNC!
Its a wrap!
Ann Arbor is still a whore and the Tar Heels just made East Lansing their BITCH.
ouch.
>>>Ann Arbor is still a whore and the Tar Heels just made East Lansing their BITCH.
LOL!
somewhere T-Baby is penning an auto-tuned elegy that will ring out for all of the D to hear
That game was fruitier than Tucan Sam.
Oh TC, you’re just salty you’re from the middle of nowhere.
Aaaaand goodnight! See yall on Wednesday after I’ve slept off the sorrow.
Whats funny is Izzo recruits from Detorit and Michigan in general, and thats what they have to offer, sad sad sad. chumps
so, um, yeah…that Rhymefest tape is dope, huh?
Watchin this one shining moment bullshit it reminded me how pissed UConn must be, Louisville too. Probably sittin there like we let them beat us???
One Shining Moment = what I wait for all year, in all of sports. I love it. When I die, I want them to do me a highlight reel like that lol.

=====================================
What if they did that @ funerals & showed all the mundane achievements of the average person lol.
I smell a Chappelle sketch!
It just got colder in the D.
I was a student at University of Illinois when we lost to UNC in 2005. Michigan State is one our biggest rivals in the Big 10. Needless to say, I wasn’t going for either team in this matchup, just hoping to see a good competitive game. But this shit was a wrap after 9 minutes. Congrats to UNC.

======================================
Are you gonna be standing in the corner watching? With some fresh Levis & AM1’s on?
I couldn’t go for either team here. I was still an undergrad student at U of Illinois when UNC beat us in 2005, and MSU is our big-time Big 10 rival in basketball. I just wanted to see a good game and good competition. But this shit was over after 9 minutes. Apparently MSU got confused and sent out the womens instead to try to win the chip’
Damn I re-posted cause my first comment didn’t come up, now I see it came up twice, my bad y’all.
UNC ruins everything. Even the title game. That shit was no good.
Damn UNC whipped the dog shit out of MSU. Considering all the state of Michigan has gone through, I feel as if this is akin to beating a man while he’s down. And passed the fuck out. In a coma.
At least MSU held em under 100.
BTW, Black Canseco, you tripping fam, Lupe Izzo is not anything special. She’s the $18,000 crib in the D, yeah it sounds like a good deal, until you get up close and personal.
^
LMAO, but from the sounds of things the only thing that kept UNC from 100 was UNC… & the clock.
Hold your head up LC, I’m sure the Red Wings will be in contention for the Stanley Cup (like every year)
Better than 2005 !
Cousins at CH, people burning shit and jumping over it !
Go Tigers!!!!
go tigers/pistons/red wings/…lions lol
^ Didn’t the Tigers get smashed tonight also? lol
Detroit needs to quit trying to front, they have been and will always be a hockey town
wow!
El Rosdao going in on Lupe… She’s a cute lady. A little heavy on the blue eye shadow, but hey man—it’s a college town. The pickin’s in Anne Arbor is slim…
LC Weber aside that is.
*adjust necktie and slides out.*
Ever seen American History X? Remember that prison rape scene in the shower, where Edward Norton’s character gets raped by his former Aryan/white supremacist brothers? And the camera flashes to the drain in the washroom floor that the water goes down, and you see blood from what we assume is Edward Norton’s raped booty hole? Tonight, MSU was that bloody booty hole (no whatever/pause blah) lmao.
@ BC: She’s a little heavy on the pisa for my taste (I know you done hob-nobbed with some Mexicans in your life either here back in the day in Chi or out west now in Cali so you know what the fuck a Pisa is). She just reminds me of the older cousins I got that are like 40-something and think going to the gym twice a week will be enough to offset the heavy ass dinner they be eating…I bet her wardrobe is atrocious too…I can tell cause everytime I see her on TV she’s rocking black, which means she doesn’t have a lot of choices in her closet or she knows the choices she does have are not fashionable….like Te’ said the type to “buy $400 worth of nautica and pay for it in 5’s”…..I’m just saying.

=======================================
Hahaahaaa… and just because I thought it was funny … PAUSE.
Okay Question since UNC Won and since The Basketball Hall of Fame selects its members based on their entire basketball career not just the NBA, does this mean Hansbrough is a Hall of Famer?
I’m guessing yes based off his College career.
I really should have went down to Franklin Street!
MSU had 3 starters from Ohio… they deserved to lose for those bums that crossed the border.
@Phillmatic
Based off a really quick glance at the list of HoFers, no. Skimming the list I didn’t see anyone that wasn’t at least a solid NBA player. But I could be wrong, I just glanced at the list.
being an msu student and attendant of the game… i was certainly disappointed… but 2nd place isn’t bad at all… and there’s always next year… good job nc… ya aholes.
Like I told you earlier LC… normally I have to buck-up for Pay-Per-View for an ass-beating like that.
I guess that’s one positive, right?
