Hello,
I am a Michigan State Student who will be attending University of Michigan Law School next fall (an odd combination, I know). If you are wondering, I will be a Michigan State athletics fan for the rest of my life, regardless of what other institutions I may attend or places I may take residence.

I love sports, specifically football, hockey, and baseball. I was a three-sport athlete (Football, Wrestling, and Baseball) in high school and participated in tryouts for the MSU baseball team (although I failed to earn a spot), so yes, I do "know the game" when I talk about many different sports.

I believe in consistency in argument. I am not of the opinion that statistics are the "only thing that matters". And I firmly believe that you need not attend a certain college to be a fan, but, if you don't attend said college, you should NOT comment on overall academics, student-athlete academics, or "class" of the fan base. I'm not saying you "can't" comment on these areas, but, if you do, I believe you leave yourself open for the classic "Walmart Wolverine" or "Save-a-lot Spartan" comments, and they will be deserved.
