That's hilarious. He'll wake up tomorrow amd tweet around 5 am when no one's paying attention that he apologizes. Nice rant though, wish more players would air dirty laundry about what really happens on these teams. I'd love for a duke guy to go off one night.

I don't care at all if this thing garners attention. Again, what is the revelation here? Two players conspired to cheat on a weed test, unbeknownst to the coaching staff? Ok. Cool.

Izzo is really tough on players who don't want to set screens, rebound and play defense and uses abrasive language towards them? Never would have guessed that to be the case.

Player who was subject of abrasive language realizes post-graduation, that he was indeed a pussy who didn't want to work? Shocking.

Half of the players on MSU's 2009-2010 teams smoked weed? Again, shocker. Summers slept walked through his Senior year. Allen and Lucious were run from the team for rumored failed drug tests. Nix got busted for pot.

Allen was partying the night before the FF loss to Butler? Yeah, that's why he got kicked off the team. That and sleeping with a security guard or something. Can't remember.

I don't know why any MSU fans were/are up in arms about anything he said. Pretty much confirms a lot of things we already knew, as I said earlier.

Oh the boys on the other board sounded like The Godfather - that Sherman had ruined his life with this rant. I've been sitting here chuckling because I know he's going to wake up in the morning and say "I did what?" . I'm just glad twitter and facebook weren't around when I was young.

There's really no harm here because anyone that believes in reality knows these are college kids not angels.

Lots of scandal in that era of MSU hoops -- Izzo suspended, players apparently swapping urine to pass drug tests, multiple players kicked off the team, etc.

I do think Bob is right that MSU fans should STFU about other programs.

The problem is that MSU and its fan base has built itself up as this program that always does things the right way.

If players were knowingly cheating drug tests, we are no better than other programs. Our boosters should have at least paid players or something and won titles instead of just getting to Final Fours if we were going to have shady things going on anyway.

Out of context it sounds like a renegade program. Maybe we should fire Izzo, after all he can't seem to compete in April, amirite?!?

Meh, I wouldn't put players cheating drug tests that shouldn't even be done in the first place up with paying players. College students cheating at something? Color me shocked

I thought it sounded very dysfunctional at the time. Plus we had our head coach take a long and very public look at the NBA and had a player crying for him to stay at a rally. All of this was very odd.

Now with Sherman's new information, it seems like that era was even more dysfunctional than I originally thought.

I find that the appropriate and healthy reaction to stories such as this is to view them through the prism of "how would I react if this was regarding (enter university here)".. and then maybe readjust your sanctimonious judgment as it relates to other programs.

of course, that is predicated upon someone admitting that MSU has the same issues that every other program out there has. If you're not willing to accept that, the above exercise is futile.

it doesn't make you a lesser fan. It simply makes you a more grounded person.

Here is my retort to that. A) In cases of college athletes smoking weed, I don't GAF and I don't care what team they play for, I probably won't hop on a bandwagon to bash a kid. B) Performance enhancing drugs, I view a bit differently. I don't care so much that someone would be doing them, its the fact that not everyone can do them, so that is a competitive advantage. C) When the NCAA is 'investigating' a school, and it seems as if there is a lot of smoke, from the outside and they end up clearing a school because of its status, is frustrating.

Every program does something to give itself an edge, or something unique to attract recruits. From everything that has been reported on about the MSU bball team, it is one of the cleanest teams in the NCAA. I would think that the recruitment of Cliff Alexander would be a pretty damn good example that no, MSU doesn't play by a lot of the recruiting rules. That being said, the cars that some of the athletes have are pretty damn nice.

There aren't stories of former MSU players who got 6 figure 'loans' from jewelry stores while still playing for MSU, or fake classes at MSU where athletes are highly encouraged to enroll in.

of course, that is predicated upon someone admitting that MSU has the same issues that every other program out there has. If you're not willing to accept that, the above exercise is futile.

it doesn't make you a lesser fan. It simply makes you a more grounded person.




Here is my retort to that. A) In cases of college athletes smoking weed, I don't GAF and I don't care what team they play for, I probably won't hop on a bandwagon to bash a kid. B) Performance enhancing drugs, I view a bit differently. I don't care so much that someone would be doing them, its the fact that not everyone can do them, so that is a competitive advantage. C) When the NCAA is 'investigating' a school, and it seems as if there is a lot of smoke, from the outside and they end up clearing a school because of its status, is frustrating.

Every program does something to give itself an edge, or something unique to attract recruits.

meh.. nefarious activities are still nefarious activities. I'm not really into morally stratifying a certain questionable act or situation based on what information might be available because, often, that information is wildly inaccurate, falsified, rooted in envy, embellished or flat out made up.

but that's just me. Do as you wish, brah.
