OT: Michigan State changed their team name

[Travelman6]

You should call them on Ziggo and ask what they think about this....

🤷‍♂️ Just relaying a story.
If they asked I imagine there was a reason for it. Probably isn't nearly as common there as here. They seemed genuinely shocked at all the shots of AT and T.

This is clever, but honestly, why not? If schools can do it, players should be able to as well.

They are no longer the knights who say “ni.” Instead they are now the “MSU Spartans presented by Rocket Mortgage.”

Michigan State announces basketball team will now be called 'MSU Spartans Presented by Rocket Mortgage'

Sparty will be called something new in the Breslin Center.

Only slightly off topic ( but you opened the door): Kanye Westvwants to be referred to as " Ye".

So he is making a cash offer to the city of Rye, NY, to drop the "R" from the city's name.

Electric Blue

Well, we are electric and sometimes we wear blue. 😆 Is that place still standing? LOL

 

[Bomber36]

Absolutely ridiculous.

I remember watching the UConn/Florida game with German and Dutch friends and they asked 'Why is the stadium they are playing in named after a company unrelated to sports?" I told them that all stadiums are. They wanted to know why that was but I had no logical explanation. "Shouldn't the stadium just be named after the team?" .....Ya, makes no sense at all I told them. This makes even less sense, sets a scary precedent.

Isn’t the NCAA’s insatiable need for cash logical?

Horrendous.

Just change the unis to this and get it over with. The WNBA would be proud.

Corporate swine. They ruined stadium names, might as well ruin this too.

I'll throw in a c-note.

 

[UCTitleTown]

This is so weak.

Which means every other university will take a look at MSU's $$$ from this and do their own thing.

So, UConn Huskies presented by ___________________??

Nah. Let's pool our money and create a Senhor Testiculo LLC and use the money to sponsor the team.

Don’t get the hamfisted Holy Grail reference but okay

In that film, the Knights Who Say Ni announce that "We are no longer the Knights who say Ni" and that they have a new name.

Well I said Holy Grail, so you should know I understand the reference itself

Sorry - when you said you didn't get it, I thought you meant you didn't understand it.
