So tonight is a good sporting event night for me. MSU hockey playing UoM (heretoforth referred to as "scumbags"), MSU basketball opening night, and Blackhawks hockey game. So naturally, I am flipping through many channels to watch. I have noticed some interesting situations, though.
MSU is currently beating the scumbags 1-0 halfway through the second, and although it is a intrastate game, FSDetroit are CLEARLY biased towards the jerks in blue. While I already dislike FSD because of their announcers being OUTRAGEOUSLY biased during Red Wings games, I can understand that because its FSDetroit, so you will root for the home team (home meaning your state). But who is the home team during a Michigan State/Jerkoffs rivalry? Both are the state of Michigan teams. Another reason why I hate overrated teams. They get favored even when they suck more. (Note: MSU (4-1-1 in CCHA) is #2 in the CCHA and went 1-1 against the #1 team in the nation. UM are 4-4 in the CCHA and are way lower in the standings. And yet nationally, the jerkfaces are ranked 6th and we are ranked 13th or so.) Doesn't make sense, and yet, is true.
Moving on (especially since Patrick Kane just scored in the first 4 minutes of the Bhawks game); have you ever watched a broadcast of a major sporting event and watched them sing the anthems? I ask this because during every home Blackhawks game the television stations give up the chance for commercials and revenue to air the anthems. I guess anyone who as been to the Madhouse on Madison for a game knows how epic the anthems are. Its a riot, and I would hate missing it if I were going to a Bhawks game. If you ever get the Chicago feed for a hockey game, check it out. I'm not kidding, the anthem is awesome. Don't even watch the game, just watch the anthem, ok?
In the meantime, freshman scumbag scored his first goal, but shortly thereafter the college hockey point leader scored again for the good guys, and it sits 2-1 Green and White.
It is a 30 point game with 7 min left in the b-ball game, and 1-0 Blackhawks.
I should split, I am doing stream of conciousness which could go forever. Nobody wants that.
