Funny too how AA got the "plan B" what was then a subject of ridicule rather than the State Capital! Just a bit of historical trivia that clearly shows the "Leaders and the best" started out as losers.<br /><br />That's something the M4 will never promulgate!MSUSpartan76https://www.blogger.com/profile/01872614755970123409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4160896203399392588.post-18639099398417142822016-02-01T13:10:26.345-05:002016-02-01T13:10:26.345-05:00We are truly an EDUCATIONAL RESOURCE on this web s...We are truly an EDUCATIONAL RESOURCE on this web site! We offer information of all kinds! Great summary.<br /><br />Yes, I was just grabbing a theoretical historical reference-point when I wrote that...I was actually planning to look up some discovery or invention that ties directly back to 1950, but I just threw out "rocket ships"...forgot that you would probably have a thing or two to say about that!American Reporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18053609741082503574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4160896203399392588.post-84396418529549139342016-02-01T12:42:55.706-05:002016-02-01T12:42:55.706-05:00Ok.

Being a Rocket Scientist (seriously), I have to take exception to your post.<br /><br />1950<br /><br />"So the Spartans lead the Wolverines in basketball since the invention of rocket-ships. Prior to rocket-ships (and "MSU"), UM had the lead."<br /><br />Wrong date.<br /><br />The first demonstration of rocket-like propulsion (steam) occured in 400 BC (give or take) by Archytas.<br /><br />I the first century A.D., the Chinese had rocket propelled arrows (gun powder).<br /><br />The first true rockets were used in 1232 by the Chinese in a war with the Mongols.<br /><br />Let's not forget the "rockets' red glare" over Ft. McHenry during the War of 1812<br /><br />Liquid fuel rockets were first proposed by Knostantin Tsiolkovsky in a report he published in 1903. Tsiolkovsky has been called the father of modern rocketry.<br /><br />Robert H. Goddard successfully launched a liquid-propellant rocket on March 16, 1926. This marks the start of the modern Space Age.<br /><br />Starting in 1937, Wernher von Braun started development of the V-2 rocket, which was a strategic weapon used by the Germans in World War II.<br /><br />On October 4, 1957, the world was stunned by the first Earth-orbiting artificial Satellite, Sputnik I. Thus the Space Race began.<br /><br />I happen to know as fact the chUMps did not field a team in 400 BC or even as late as the War of 1812.<br /><br />chUMp U was not founded until 1817 (then called Catholepistemiad). The name was changed in 1821 to stop the laughter (literally). That first attempt failed and the school existed in name only until re-established in AA in 1837 using land originally intended for the state capital, which did not get put there. Hmmm... <br /><br />Back to the point: not since the invention of rocket ships... more like since the first V2 launch from Cape Canaveral (July 24, 1950).MSUSpartan76https://www.blogger.com/profile/01872614755970123409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4160896203399392588.post-1088597526542566342016-02-01T11:59:41.709-05:002016-02-01T11:59:41.709-05:00Ha, good point!

They might not be able to choke out the words, "Michigan State is the better program overall". They will probably have to qualify the facts somehow in order to diminish the effects on their beloved Wolverines.American Reporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18053609741082503574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4160896203399392588.post-989501939749593952016-01-30T23:11:00.839-05:002016-01-30T23:11:00.839-05:00Funny that you see that type of chart in the Mains...Funny that you see that type of chart in the Mainstream Michigan Media Machine when heading into a football game, but it's not so prevalent prior to the basketball match-ups.
