Michigan State is Ugly, Badgers Play Pretty




Michigan State has some formidably unattractive players, no Romo. It's pretty remarkable. I thought the Badger's big white guys were ugly. When your star center is noted for looking like a polar bear and his backup is noted for looking like something worse than a polar bear, you would think thats about as ugly as you could get. Michigan State's centers manage to overcome some long odds to out ugly Brian Butch and Greg Stiemsma. Next to Goran Suton and Drew Naymick, Butch and Stiemsma look like David Beckham and Matthew fucking Mcconaughey, no Romo.

The only things balancing out the dreadful aura of ugly on the floor was the Badgers excruciatingly efficient play on both sides of the ball, and of course the always lovely Erin Andrews. The Badgers committed a school record single turnover as they held the Spartans to 42 points on 35% shooting. Butch led the way for the Badgers with 16 points, managing to hit, as Dick Vitale would refer to them, "four trifectas, baby," despite resembling a member of another species.

During a lull in the game Bret Musburger, who was calling the game, refered to Erin Andrews as the "person everybody wants to see on YouTube" and the real star of the crew. To this Andrews responded, "You're the star Brent, I've been wearing sunglasses all day."

At this point in time Musburger went off on a tangent about the Nitty Gritty and how the previous night there had been 53 birthday's there, and there was beer and hamburgers. Based on this I'm guessing that the ESPN crew had been out at the Nitty knocking back a few with Badger fans. Well perhaps more than a few if Andrews needed to wear her sunglasses all day. That's quite a hangover Erin.

Is there anyone who was at the Nitty last night who may have seen Erin Andrews and/or Brent Musburger or any of the rest of the ESPN crew there? I know readership isn't very big, but it would be cool to confirm that she was there.
