It is amazing the reach and influence of THE Michigan University. It reaches right out and takes control of the media 350 miles and 4 states away. It makes me smile.If you want some entertainment and instruction in the delusional mindset, check out this gem of a thread concerning Fears on MSU's Red Cedar Message Board:
My personal fave is the post fulminating at "the University of Michigan controlled media."
In case you don't have time, I'll bottom-line-big-picture it for you: he's just as God made him, the greatest guard in CB in the past 20 years at the very least, and Dusty May is either a whining simp or Machiavellian genius.
Oh, and everyone does it. You know: "it." Fears just gets picked on.

the little munchkin will have his team doing anything they can possibly get away with so his team can upset the # 5 ranked Illini and stop his team's 2 game losing streak..................the lepruahcan (sp) is a master-bater of officials and has been crying on the sidelines since his first game as a coach...............
he knows his team is NOT worthy of the # 10 ranking they have now and losing to the Illini at home will further their slide in the rankings and seeding in the Dance.............so I expect a plethora of dirty plays by All the spurtans Saturday..............Let's just hope whoever the refs are will call the fouls that are surely to be committed by the thugs @ Breslin detention center.............
I'm hoping to see a Flagrant 2 called on Fears and him being ejected and subsequently suspended for the rest of the season.....it won't happen but it should if he continues to play as he has this season.......
there was another play in the minny game where Fears hit a minny player in the back of the head as the minny player was driving in the paint towards the rim....it wasn't Fears man but he cracked the dude in the brain stem area and the minny player was complaining about it to the refs to no avail.................
Fears is a dirty player through and through......he really really is............

In Breslin you know refs will let it get wild.
The only hope is that all the recent bad pub will make them be a bit better.

That elbow might have been the worst, WWE-type stuff off the top turnbuckle. And no call.

If the conference and officiating consortium had any foresight on assignments, they’d put their most thick-skinned officials who are not swayed by a home crowd on this game.
This was a game that, 30 years ago, I’d be begging for Ed Hightower to call. I always thought he was one of the best at not letting the home crowd get to him. For a modern-day, NBA example, that official would be Scott Foster. Love him or hate him, he does not have a favorable home whistle.
To be clear, I don’t expect this. We’ll get Carstensen, Anderson, and some other guy and they’ll do what every official does at Breslin.
That is the one that should be talked about most. Flying elbow with a lot of intention. Could break a jaw. Blatant is f***

I can't think of a more dangerous and intentional action. He braces his arm before delivering the blow to the opponent's exposed neck. Crushed windpipe? It's one thing (and still dirty) to trip a player hoping to gain an advantage; it's quite another to violently attack an opponent's exposed neck like that. Was that called a flagrant 1? That should have been an F2 and suspension.

I expect the Spartans to play really hard at home after a two-game losing streak. Brilliant deduction. But aren't Izzo and Fears on notice by B1G office and refs for thuggery? Should be. You may say I'm a dreamer ... Imagine.
Illini are the better team; stay cool, play your game. No Pizza Hut stuff, but don't back down. Easier said than done. Coach Brad will set the tone.
Wear the blue - it looks real tough to me.

And calling out Kofi's punch against the ref (like it wasn't accidental) from five years ago. Delusional does not even approach the level displayed on that board, I read just the first page and felt physically ill.If you want some entertainment and instruction in the delusional mindset, check out this gem of a thread concerning Fears on MSU's Red Cedar Message Board:

I think the boys will be ready for this one..I don't see a let down. They also seem to not just remained poised, but shine brighter in a hostile environment.
If Fears play Andrej will guard him
He's right, the other guys score and rebound way betterI liked this one:
"Jeremy Fears is quietly performing at a historically elite level this year. Not good. Not great. Not elite. Historically elite. Believe it or not, there is not one single Bob Cousy (Point Guard of the Year) Award winner over the past 15 years who has put up numbers anywhere near what Fears is putting up this year. Not Ja Morant. Not Kemba Walker. Not Shabazz Napier. Not Payton Pritchard."
Had to double-check those stats here, but I think the comparisons may be a bit of a stretch. It's shocking to me that there are other fan bases' boards out there that can truly let it fly like that totally unchecked.

I am soooo glad I pulled up the Red Cedar site this morning. Full-on, fever-swamp, bats$#t-crazy delusional.
Can't wait for the follow-on to the other clip: "The MN guy lunged, neck-first, at Fears' elbow that had been placed in a defensive position anticipating an imminent assault."
The Red Cedar board is no doubt crowdfunding a retainer for Lionel Hutz, attorney at law, as we speak.
I am lmao

Time honored blue blood tradition.
Our coach was caught passing cash to a recruit. We're cutting his meal allowance on the road by 20% to show everyone how seriously we take this.
Now Kofi did snap during one of the MSU games and slapped the stuffing out of an MSU players arm and in my head squared up on him ready to throw down.
In my head the officials didn’t call anything when it happened but everybody stopped for a beat like there was a whistle.
The Kofi hitting a ref thing was hilarious (especially i wasn’t the one being concussed), but he had no idea that official was there.
We’re +1.5 on the early spread. Not that it means much but thoughts?
2 things bother me about the MSU game.
1. They were upset at Minny. Izzo is going nuts right now and will jack them up. They will come out ready to play.
2. The Illini hit 17-3's. I just hope and pray they have enough left to take out the Spartans. It was a team effort led by unselfish play. I hope we can do that again. but I would like to seey boy Keaton go off again.

Still remember attending the game in January 1985 where Booby Knight benched four of his starters against us. Sloppy game.
Meet our new Croation forward, eligible for this game only.
Filip Hrgovic, 6"6" wing that boxes a bit on the side. He'll be guarding Mr. Fears.
