Not a lot of diversity in these choices so far. Maybe we should get someone from the $5mm+/yr uofm office of DEI to help find some people of color or maybe some Trannies to fix this glaring problem.

Diversity, what? They are all wearing different numbers and played on different teams. You go and try and cobble together your own countdown to doom list on the MSU board and make sure you include at least a few players who graduated.

Sorry, but you don't get credit for that kind of diversity.

Nice job byco.

I don’t have access to all the historic records, but i believe this is technically the first season in the history of the board that our countdown thread was literally launched by a rival Spartan.

So thanks SpartanMack. Thanks for your respect for, adherence and devotion to Michigan tradition on the interwebs.
