If Tyler Hansbrough was a Cat, He'd Look Like This...

// Does Tyler Hansbrough always look confused?

// Two teams left in college basketball. Michigan State and North Carolina. Well it’s halftime and it’s not looking good for Sparty. But there’s no way Carolina can keep shooting like this…right? We’ll find out.

// Two things:

1) I swear that the bookies always know what they are doing. I found out that the line was inflated despite a lot of people betting on the crew from East Lansing. Even I fell for the trick. A -7.5 spread seemed way too large for a championship game in the underdog’s backyard. But here’s what I’m thinking. State’s going to make a game out of this in the second half. No choice.

2) Sure the true Big Ten fans are pulling for MSU. But I feel that a lot of the country wants Michigan State to win this one. The state of Michigan deserves some good news. The state unemployment rate is 12%. The city of Detroit is 22%. 65% of Detroit retailers don’t think any of the bailout money will even matter. The Lions are the worst NFL team. The Pistons suddenly stink. The city and state are reeling. It was another harsh winter. Season ticket sales for the Tigers plunged 44%. The president essentially fired the head of GM. The auto industry is toast. Chrysler could print money in their basement and they would still be broke for the next 20 years. Ethically and morally, we have to root for Michigan State.

// So here comes the final 20 minutes. Do work Sparty.
