I saw this tweet from Coach Monty last night a few hours after his team lost to Eastern and it really rubbed me the wrong way. Am I overreacting?

Agree with you. Just like when Monty walked into Fatty's during an NIU football road game that was being televised and asked them to put the MICHIGAN STATE game on. When you're in a public place or tweeting or whatever else you do where other people can see it, be a HUSKIE! You don't work for MSU anymore.

Plus, judging by the time stamp, he probaby tweeted that while on the team bus.

I wonder if Ricardo Patton is tweeting about us?

I don't have a problem with the tweet. I would have a problem with him asking to change the TV from NIU to Michigan State though.

MSU was where he went to school as a student/player...
People should have no issue with him having feelings for MSU
given the fact that is where he went to school. It could be
viewed differently if he was simply just a coach there but he
was more that just a coach there...

Holy crap! are you kidding me?
I don't fault him for caring about his alma mater...but to be IN DEKALB at Fatty's...and ask them to change the channel from an NIU game is just asinine! Wow that is just unbelievably rude.
In public the guy has to be supportive of the school that signs his paycheck.

Absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to watch the NIU and the MSU football games. If he totally ignored the NIU game, I'd be a little upset but he was there wanting to keep track of both games I see no problems.

Fatty's is an NIU bar...if he wanted to keep track of the MSU game he could check his phone for score updates. Or go home and watch the game on his personal TV.

tweet on bus was fine by me.

the Fatty's TV incident - if a fair/accurate characterization - troubles me.

Yes, there is no way another college game should be on Fatty's TVs when NIU is playing and the game is televised or on ESPN3.

MM tweets about NIU football pretty often and is always positive and supportive. I have no problem with the tweet from yesterday. I find it pretty odd that he would ask Fatty's to change a TV with the NIU game on to the MSU game. I also find it odd that nobody said anything about it until months afterward.

Armour, you are 100% correct. To just bring this up now is very odd. I have asked fattys to put one of the tv's on to another game. Maybe he should have went to buffalo wild wings. Monty always is tweeting about msu. I dont see it as a big thing. This is bears country is it wrong for fattys to promote a packers game.

Yes, you're overreacting.

I know I don't care if Monty honestly expresses his love for the school that he played and coached for. Who....cares.

Yes.

Did anybody else read the passage Bob highlighted in the old Kevin Matthews "Raymond Burr" voice?

Is it wrong to go back to your apartment with a man you met a train station and lie naked on aquarium gravel while watching Spartacus on cable?
