Byrd kisses the Spartan helmet...?

by **Other Teams Pursuing That** 2014-11-03, 21:26

Why? Am I the only one who doesn't get people's fascination with this guy?

He was another shitty white guy and Izzo keeps recruiting them. Let it go.

by **Ass Dan** 2014-11-03, 21:28

He was a dickhead who airballed free throws. I don't get it either

by **duffy munn** 2014-11-03, 21:36

Tom Izzo and his former teammates respect the guy. There is a reason this game was scheduled. I posted the same things "elsewhere"

What OTPT and Ass Dan ( U of M student) feel gets trumped 1000 times but what TI and MSU basketball players think.

He was actively looking for schools to transfer to during the NCAA tournament last year. He was a distraction and a clown. Eat shit loser.

If he was black, would I feel the same way? Sure. If he sucked as much as Byrd did. Did he do anything positive outside of shooting the lights out in practice? The 3 against Iowa? At least Timmy B could play defense and hit that shot against Kentucky.

Did Maurice Joesph get to come back and kiss the helmet?

I think TI and the team would be just fine telling me about his value themselves instead of having some failed bar owner lecture me on the internet.

When MoJo transferred did you call him just another shitty black guy that Izzo recruited ?

Was he a four year MSU player and former captain ?

Do you think Izzo and his former teammates had a problem with Byrd kissing the floor tonight ?
And WTF does Timbo have to do with this ? Oh, I know. He was white.

Then listen to real Spartans like Izzo and the team.

And this Spartan that was slinging gin in East Lansing before you were born.

Not sure where you are going with this black/white stuff but I'll play.

When MoJo transferred, I probably said he was not a very good basketball player. Yes. I don't remember the specific terms, but it probably included shitty, maybe black. Not sure why that matters?

MoJo played for us what, 2-3 years? So Byrd practiced a year longer than him? He wasn't a captain. Neither was Byrd (in everyone else's eyes except for...Izzo?)

I doubt Izzo had a problem with it since he set it up. But is that saying much considering Izzo has had this guy's back his entire career here? Of course he would do that.

If I was a player, especially one on last year's squad, then I would have had a problem with it. Like ass dan said, he was actively looking to transfer during a season that we had a legit natty title chance in. He can fuck off.

Again, you're the guy that made sure to mention that Byrd is white.
And you are NOT a player but the real players respected him. Sorry if that carries more weight with me than your opinion.

He can fuck off ? Dare you to say that to him or Tom Izzo.

I'm sorry he ruined your life, OTPT. Same to you, Ass Dan. I feel so bad for the both of you. This is all so horrible.

Jesus Freeking Christ! Not every player works out. Black and white. Remember Richard Mudd? ( Black) All American from DC ( Not De matha). He seemed to be on the team 12 years and never did squat. ( My era 80-85). Skiles honkey ass almost went to prison and ONLY his final season became the player people hoped. Gerald Buzby. ( Black) I think he finished at Ferris. Rob Gonzales. ( Hispanic) Never did shit but was ALL-Everthing out of Detroit. I could go on and on. Been watching this shit 50 years.

Why the Hard-on for Byrd??? As if he WANTED His career to go this way? I'm not saying we should have "compassion" here on this board. Not with people we argue with, not with MSU's dipshitted brain-dead fans. But for our players who have and had dreams- have some compassion! Save the hate for your enemies.

by **WhiteBoyHatcher** 2014-11-03, 22:37

Why are people butt hurt about a guy who doesn't even play at MSU any more? If it makes you guys feel better, you will probably never have to hear/talk about Russell Byrd again after tonight. So crack a beer, have a shot, plan on skipping class in the morning, celebrate that fact and endure it for one more painful night.

I'm from the same era and agree with almost all of this.
Skiles was great for 3 years and Gonzales has a ring.

Opened in 1986. Sold in 2011. Ass Dan was a gleam in his Daddy's eye and dreamed of his son going to U of M.

I think some bar with stupid fishy bowls put it out of business.

Didn't need to use the word "white" as an adjective. I'm a real first amendment guy, but I'm getting tired of the double standard too. I like this board for it's opened to opinions. I've probably portrayed myself as a racist or sexist in a comment too, so I'm not trying to be high and mighty, but there is a huge double standard that sucks in this country. Oh well, it is what it is.

That said, I will never understand the need for Spartans to run Spartans down. Izzo did that for a reason for him, the players rallied to him also. Isn't it better to just ignore it? But whatever, do what you need to.

by **NigelUno** 2014-11-03, 23:44

Frickin' Sten Feldreich talked about going back home the whole time he was here. Blah, blah, blah...I miss my mommy. Huge distraction. Probably cost us a natty.
