MSU Red Cedar Message Board

I'm not sure how the rest of you feel, but I respect Novak quite a bit. The kid played hard his whole career, and kicked our ass as a junior. Granted it's a rivalry, but it's not like this guy was Mike Hart. Maybe I just respect Beilein and the program now that they do things the right way, after decades of cheating. That being said, Go Bobcats, Owls, Tar Heels, etc.

I like Novak.

That said, I hope he gets his ass beat.

And cries.

Will any of the MSU players cry when MSU wins championship or lose?

This. They will. It's an emotional game, especially when you put four years into it like guys such as Novak and Draymond. The taste of Michigan tears is best when they come from their fans and certain players. Novak works his ass off, despite what some say about being a cheap player, and now that he'll never play MSU again, I have no problem with him.

When the inevitable happens, I say cry on, young man. Cry on.

I'm not comparing him to Draymond. They're four year seniors, that's where the comparison ends.

Thanks! I looked high and low for this picture. I was at that game. It was awesome!

Novak whines like a little bitch. Probably because he IS a little bitch.

I did too until I saw his do his undercut thing once too many times. I saw it with MSU, than again against Sulkinger. That kind of stuff is punk-ass, and I would never have a punk on my team. I don't care how many wins I get.

Is every white kid who isn't on MSU a "bitch" and "a dirty player?" I have the feeling Austin Thornton would be the devil if he played elsewhere.

Hummel took a lot of heat on the old board.

Let's see. The RCMB's hate list over the past few years includes (just guys MSU has played):

Novak
Douglass
Reddick
Chris Kramer
Aaron Craft
Greg Paulus
Tyler Hansbrough
Adam Morrison

I know I'm missing a few too

I don't know how someone can get satisfaction out of seeing someone cry after dedicating their lives for four years to something, anything. Defeat sucks. But you don't earn the right to cry about defeat unless you've put your heart into trying to succeed. Give me any four year player in the nation and I'll give him/her a standing ovation when their time is done. Regardless of team. It's rare to see people dedicate themselves to something so passionately for four years and definitely not something to scoff at because of some vendetta, established years ago, when some factory worker made fun of your degree.
