Mullen would leave us for to Jake being overly pessimistic on everything to Weiner talking for 20 minutes yesterday about he believes there?s no doubt MSU basketball is in trouble over the FBI probe saying ?why would any player want to go there and out of the blue they start getting players?. Hell it might be true but at the his point there is no evidence for any of these accusations whether it?s what job Mullen would take to trouble with basketball.

    I?ve lived in 4 states and the local media there never talked about their programs like these guys do. If it warranted, like OM NCAA stuff, Redmond, etc that?s fine and fair game.
    Agree. It's perplexing.

    I've never figured this out either.

    Not sure how a state that's already low on self esteem is supposed to ever overcome that when it's state motto is "pump your brakes"

    Because to a lot of people just going 6-6 to 8-4 every year is a lot easier to feel good about because to them that's better than going for 8-4 to 10-2 because we might not get there ever so they don't want to be frustrated because they went for a higher goal and failed. Of course by not going for the higher goal they don't achieve it either and our full potential is never reached.
