I think Bo Ryan is a grinch, a used car salesman, and a tool. Some Spartan fans I know view him as an evil power, i.e. somebody who lives on the floor beneath us. I won't go that far. A friend of mine said this: Just put horns on him and see what happens. I'll let you decide.
Others have said that he is the coach that looks the most like his mascot. I for one, can't disagree with that.
I respect his abilities. He's a very good coach. I won't call him great yet because he has to win consistently in the tournament. However, he always gets the most out of his guys and does a great job in conference. As a student, I've had many a bad night because of this guy.
Now keep in mind I started at MSU the year he started at Wisconsin
2002 - breaks up 53-game home win streak
2004 - wins in OT at the Breslin with the Big Ten title on the line
2004 - wins in Big Ten tournament after MSU leads the whole game
2005 - MSU blows an 8-point lead in Madison with 2 minutes to play
As a non-student:
2007 - Chris Rock hits a 3-pointer with 5 seconds left to win by 2
(Devin Harris was an absolute Spartan killer. I hated him but I hated Alando Tucker more.)
In fact, here is an article from the Lansing State Journal that sums it all up: Wisconsin is MSU's ingrown toenail
However, one thing that Wisconsin fans will have to always live with is this: You were a fraud last year. Your best season ever resulted in nothing. No Big Ten regular season title, no Big Ten conference tournament title, and a 2nd round loss in the Big Dance. But you might say hey, we were #1 last year. However, your first game as the "top-ranked team" resulted in a nice L, courtesy of
.Unfortunately for tonight, this MSU teams craps the bed on the road way too much for me to believe that they can rise up and win at the 2nd toughest place in the Big Ten. That ingrown toenail probably hurts a little more tonight. 65-58 Wisconsin

Yea, Wisconson gets on my damn nerves. They popped us in football this year too. Of course we lost AGAIN last night... damn. Another story about Wisconson beating MSU:
I went on a recruiting trip to MSU with one of my co-workers who's a Wisconson fan. At a reception dinner for the recruiters, MSU asked that you put your business cards in a bag for a raffle. I put mine in and Wisconson puts his in right after. Of course he's the one that gets chosen with mine right next to his and he wins a Tom Izzo signed ball. He said he might go hoop with it or would sell it to me for a $1000... bastard.

Though I spent several years learning Madison streets as if they were a part of Tha D or E.L...and although I know Camp Randall Staduim maybe a little better than Spartan Stadium unfortunately...Wisconsin still is a thorn in my side some days LOL! For more reasons than just sports!!! But, even the other reasons that don't involve sports STILL involve sports!!! Sigh...BADGERS GO DIG A HOLE IN THE GROUND AND STAY THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-p
