More like two thousand wrongs, Geoff.  Michigan State fans have always
cheered for Michigan's opponent (most notably when the Wolverines play the
Badgers) and in recent years the UM fans have been singing the same tune.
 This has been going back and forth long before you or I were on the scene,
I'm sure.
 
I'm not happy that you were taunted, but I'm not surprised.  However, it
should be noted that (although obviously not in your section) the majority
of the UM contingent (I'm estimating 60%) WERE rooting for MSU over
Minnesota.  I can guarantee that the percentage was MUCH higher when
Michigan State played Wisconsin.  :-)
 
If you really want adverse conditions, try wearing maize and blue at Munn.
