Football. That's what the kids are wanting to talk about these days. They want to talk about Super Bowls. They want to talk about the Tim Bradys and the Elijah Mannings of the world. They want to talk about yard lines and field goal posts and what have you. So you know what? Let's go ahead and do this. Let's talk, and let's make it for real, damnit.It seems like only last January when I wrote my first Super Bowl article. Stephen Hawking says that time is relative because it flies faster when you are having fun, so I will assume that to be the case here. I am no scientist, like Tom Cruise, so I'll leave the explaining to those more qualified than I.I can remember that article vividly. I was young and haughty then. I didn't think that research was necessary. I judged the teams by arbitrary criteria, and I chose the Colts by 173 points.I don't remember whether that happened or not, but that is beside the point. The point is I know my stuff now. Football is my life, and my life is good.So, let's talk about the actual game and, more importantly, the team that you, the average MSU student, should be rooting for. Based on a formal poll that I conducted with a random, simple survey of one friend of mine, this game is a lose-lose situation for your average MSU student. Here's why. Firstly, the Patriots are too good at playing football games, which is not fair. Secondly, the Giants refuse to bench Eli Manning for being an Ole Miss alumnus, which is ignoble.Thus, we find ourselves in an unflinching quandary, yet we must press forward in the article. My scientific opinion is that the average MSU student should pull for the Patriots. They are favored to win by 13.5 points, and no one really likes to be wrong when choosing sides (see Religion). So go for the favorite and perhaps attempt to coax a loyal Giants fan into a wager without the spread.
