I like listening to him. Far better than "Wojodamus".

The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.

Remember when Michigan fans used to accuse MSU fans of allowing the U of M to live rent free in their heads? In the words of the great Michael Scott, "Well, well, well. How the turntables..."

Not even close. Valenti and Rico are spartan trash (I know, redundant), so why should anyone care what they have to say about Michigan?

I'm inclined to stick up for Matt on this one. There shouldn't be any "glee" in this just because it's your rival school. To have fun with people who got fucked with in the worst way isn't cool at all. It's not about the school or athletics after a certain point; it's about the people who were harmed and those who need to be held accountable in some form. Even if it's my team, if you fucked up, you gotta pay somehow. But to have a fire lit under your ass because the same thing that happened at your school now happened at another school you hate is just wrong.

I worry about the day something violent happens at Michigan, Valenti would crack a joke about someone at Michigan finally being able to make a shot. I like Valenti, but this was wrong of him.

If this is the "same thing" that happened at MSU, then why isn't the media covering this as aggressively as it did Nassar? That's what has MSU folks angry, that and ESPN and its ilk linking Izzo and Dantonio to behavior they had nothing to do with.

It is not appropriate to call me a "Walmart Wolverine". I will say that both schools are good schools, as are all of the publics in the state.

It has nothing to do with the school. Everyone in the Nassar case was alive when the scandal broke. People want arrests and news conferences and trials and lawyers pounding on podiums and everything else along with it. You can't get much of that when most of those who were accused of being involved or in the know are dead, thus less interest.

It's quite obvious they have a "dog in the fight" so their opinions come across as if they are enjoying every minute of this. Not one ounce of any objectivity since they both attended MSU and have expressed their anti U-M slant. I give Caputo credit, he attended MSU, covered Bo during his Tiger days and got to know him. Caputo comes across more objective and listening to all sides and not enjoying the turmoil U-M is experiencing.
If you're a MSU slappy you'll love those guys.

Jim Costa is filling in for Rico this week. The kid is doing a great job so far. Valenti seems to like working with him.
