True. I just feel like I see this sentiment from older MSU fans (hell, MSU fans in general) far too often.

Be confident. Brag. Every other fan base does it. Why do we have to be little poor MSU?

We are selling out the stadium, winning games, and garnering national attention (most still negative but at least our name pops up).

Other teams and coaches actually have to pay attention to us now. We aren't that automatic W that was chalked onto every other west teams' schedule at the beginning of the season anymore.
