I loathe Calipari; MSU vs Nebraska bigger than Kentucky

Everything wrong with college sports can be found with the two major college basketball teams in the state of Kentucky. Exhibit A: John Calipari, head coach of the Kentucky Wildcats. The ES hopes Michigan State teachings the young one-and-dones a lesson tonight.

What is a bigger game this week: #2 Michigan State vs #1 Kentucky in men's hoops .... or, #14 Michigan State vs Nebraska in football?

The game against the Corn is the more important game. Who knows where these hoop teams will be in March, but we know the Spartans will likely be a Final Four contender. But we know the Spartans need to beat Nebraska to have a chance at roses.

I still hope we embarass the Cats and teach the 17 year old diaper dandies how to play hoops.
