Damn. I'm kinda checking out.

Completely understand. You can only take so many kicks in the nuts. I don’t know that I can give up MSU though. Your college is different. To me anyway. Like a relative you love. I could give a rats ass about the tigers. I cant name their starters. I used to know their batting averages. I can take or leave the Packers. The years they sucked were liberating in that I knew I could give them up if they aren’t doing well. Do sundays with family don’t even think football. But I don’t know about MSU football or basketball. It’s different. I have nothing against those that want to jump off the football wagon. They seem to be giving us a big fuck you, and I get that. I just don’t think I can give the Spartans football and basketball up like I can professional sports teams I follow.

I’ll defer to the eagles here.  

I understand Saw’s feelings here,  but I think it’s almost impossible not to be drawn to the flame of MSU football and basketball.  

I was just thinking of the lyrics to hotel California,  I think those fuckers were talking about our addiction to MSU sports.  “I was thinking to myself this could be heaven or this could be hell”.  Is the girl MSU football and the hotel Spartan stadium and we’re the addicted guest?  
So, I changed a few words

On a dark desert Grandriver, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of collegiates, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a tailgate light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I started drinking for the night.
There HE stood in the tunnel;
I remembered LeVeon bell
And I was thinking to myself
'This could be heaven or this could be Hell'
Then HE lit up a scoreboard and He showed me the way
There were voices from my CTE,
I thought I heard them say

Welcome to tSpartan Stadium
Such a lovely place
But a big disgrace.
Plenty of seats at the tSpartan Stadium
At this time of year,  you can find them here

His mind is loyalty-twisted, He shuffled DB coaches with Tight Ends
he got a lot of pretty, pretty coaches, that he calls friends
How they dance in the Duffy, instead of summer sweat
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

So I called up the Captain,
'Please bring me my PED'
He said, 'we haven't had that spirit here since  Tony's 79
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say"

Welcome to tSpartan Stadium
Such a lovely place
But a big disgrace.
They losin again at the Spartan Stadium
Not a big surprise , But we got alibis

Fumbles on the field,
Hurt offensive linemen on ice
And He said, 'you are all just prisoners here, of your own device'
And after the final Anthem,
We  gathered for the toss
We shuffled coaches and took our Peds,
But we just can't stop the loss

Last thing I remember, I was
Running for  the bedroom door
I had to find the championship hat that I wore so long before
'Relax' said my wife,
'We are programmed to believe.
You can check out any time you like,
But you can never leave!'
