Let this be a lesson to all...
This is what happens when you bet with your heart, not your head. On the left is the author of this post, a proud Michigan State University alum, forced to wear some form of pale blue because North Carolina narrowly defeated my Spartans in hoops last week. And yes, narrowly, because if we would have just made 9 four-point plays, we’d have won! It could be worse-this could be the blue and yellow colors of U of M, (perish the thought) though they do get props for handling Duke on national TV this past weekend.
To my right is the gleeful smirk of one Jordan Bienstock, Student News writer and Tar Heels fan. I take solace in the fact that it’s way early in the season, and hope springs eternal until the tournament. (“The” tournament, not the made for TV conference versions.) I'm not sure he has stopped gloating, and this post will certainly not help. How long is that victory lap anyway?
I’ll now swear off frivolous office bets for good.
Wait.
MSU is playing UGA (pronounced Uh-Guh) in the Capitol One Bowl on Jan 1st! Since there are more Georgia alums and their fans running around here than ants at a picnic, that gives me an idea...
Jerry DeMink, VP CNN News Services
since i really am not into sports that much, it really doesnt matter to me who wins or loses, but i do have to say the picture even made me laugh!
I think this is not really a lesson for us to learn because its just about a game, but i do like football. I think MSU is going to win but you never know.
it's a bit funny. i didn't know that cnn staff could be like that!!
i just watched 12/10 cnn student news 10 minutes after it was updated. Yippee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im in korea
why isn't there any carl azuz postings today???
i like them so much
perhaps because im too early
hey my name is jessie and i just want to tell u guys that i think the saints and the panthers are goung to loss their way to the super bowl so i think the buckenerners are going to win the super bowl.
I LOVE TO BE IN THE FRONT ROW WHILE REGGIE BUSH IS PLAYING I LOVE THE GAMES OF SAINTS WITH REGGIE BUSH IN IT.
TAY-TAY
Hey i like uf football the sarasota sailors and the patriots football
GO MIAMI HURICANS for next football season we will be number 1 next year
That picture is prety funny, Nollie.
i think uga is going to win because they have a good running back
I love football and all but, not MSU or UGA. I think i'll stick with UGA they are going to take it home........... GO UGA!!!!!!!!!!
i like michigan more so i think is is not right even thow state was good but machigan
Now if it was me i would go to the NFL but he wants to be a doctor and an NFL player.. IDK but i would go for both if i was him!!!
Okay I like this lesson.
BUT WHERE IS CARL????
If it's about a game I don't know if we should learn a lesson or not but I do like sports such as baseball, soccer, and basketball. This picture is funny!
I would probably go for the doctor because i suck at football.
DUKE is the best!!! Go Blue Devils!!!
I like sports and stuff but the only problem is that i don't like MSU at all i have been a wolverine fan all my life and i will NEVER be on MSU's side.........its like a swear word in my house so go UGA because i would be really sad if MSU won!
All I will say is NFL.
Hey Carl,
I'm in Ms. Shurack's Class, we love watching CNN student news! your the best.
Michigan is the best!
Go Blue!
Hi Mr. LaFave!
That really is a bummer, i'm MSU all the way, next time think about it before you bet!
Well duke is the best so he shouldn't care he is supporting the Best colors he should be proud.
That is really cool, but I don't get why the coyote attacked him in the first place.
Well...i am a sports fan but hate watching it, i cant just sit there and let a team lose with out getting bent out of shape. I love to play basketball, snowboarding, and rodeo. So you can say im pretty athletic, but i just cant stand watching someone lose!
come on Spartans
Im sorry your guy lost but it just makes it so much harder when someone else is bad winner. Isn't enough to just win. I victory lap is just a lap, only one, not a mile!
It is a shame that Michigan State didn't defeat North Carolina, I would have loved to see North Carolina go down to the Michigan state but there is always next time!! Im going Georgia in the Capital One Bowl be cause of there unstoppable running game, and Georgia can get it done in the air. There defense has to show up to play though because Michigan State has one of the best running backs in the Big-Ten.
that guy is tall and this picture looks really funny...haha
I do think some people did take it to far. it sounded like people are makeing fun of him. Just because he is blind doesn't give you the right to make fun of him. Blind people have feelings also.
MSU all the way
funny photo! GO MSU! they rox!
i would say something only i dont like msu i'm a UofM fan
Oh god. I feel for ya. Kinda. Well not really. I personally don't like either team. So haha.
This is just another sign that our society cares more about sports than certain other important issues. A kid in my class probably has more of an opinion on his favorite hockey team than, say, his education.
