Was just watching this game and thinking about how ridiculous it is how many on the net say we can't claim Russell Wilson but Wisconsin can. I know we've had this debate 10,000 times so not looking for that.
Watching MVS now reminded me of it though. He played for us as a freshman only (i believe) but was good even then. Then transferred to a smaller college. He is a good pro now. Us claiming him would be as ridiculous as Wisconsin claiming RW imo. It is the same thing just in reverse as far as class year.
Just couldn't help but recognize the irony in that. Anyone on any of the Wolfpack's social media pages no doubt knows what I mean. Anytime Wilson gets mentioned people go ballistic trying to take away any attachment and downgrade anything he had to do with State.
