Ignorant Alumni

So I have some people I work with that are Michigan State fans. This "girl" starts a debate with a co-worker and myself on why she thinks MSU is a better football team than Michigan. She begins to reference the past three years of MSU's victories over a Michigan program going through a multitude of changes. She, like many other State fans likes to forget the past, saying tradition means nothing and the present is all that matters. I begin to ask her about basketball and she says Michigan's sweep of State last year does not matter because of their past dominance. She then gets upset quickly and asks if I even went to Michigan, no I did not, but what the hell does that have to do with anything? According to this senseless individual, you can not be a die hard fan of a team unless you are an alumni...This about sends me up a wall, but I compose myself and ask her to name TWO current MSU players. She first says "Cousins? Wait, I think so.." and then names Javon Ringer who now plays in the NFL for the Titans. This is the moral to this story folks. DO NOT get into sports debates and then spout of idiotic statements about alumni status and then continue to be able to have ZERO information about the school you cheer for. This not only pisses off the people around you but also makes you look like a COMPLETE MORON. Oh and please do not act like MSU is a prestigious school, they have a 70% acceptance rate. Thank You.
