Fox Blunders Michigan State Spartans, Naming Them Wolverines on National TV

Talk about not getting respect. The Michigan State men’s basketball team was playing Rutgers Saturday (Feb. 4) afternoon on Fox. Usually, the most action you get out of these games is watching Tom Izzo go nuts, which is always entertaining. I love the guy. But, for this game, there was all kinds of weird action, in that Fox actually called the Michigan State Spartans the Michigan State Wolverines!

Check out the screen shot. I know the Spartans’ basketball team has been struggling this season, but geez, at least don’t call us our rival’s name! It’s pretty funny.
