I was listening to a local sports talk radio station the other day and heard them talking about college football. Appearently it is common place for teams to send eachother game footage prior to playing eachother. This I never knew or heard of before. There is an issue they were discussing about Michigan State and Hawaii. Hawaii was accussing MSU of not sending them the footage they wanted. I thought this was all kind of odd, I thought why do teams do this and if the other team wants footage, why not make them find it themselves.

Usually teams trade because it’s good sportsmanship. MSU got royally screwed at Hawaii last year on one-sided penalty calls.

Last year's recap - check out penalties



<< <i>
Stanton said penalties cost Michigan State the game. The Spartans were flagged 16 times, including seven for holding, for 119 yards. The Warriors were penalized five times for 35 yards. "It seemed like (the referees) wanted them to win," Stanton said. "No doubt about it, they're a good football team and they deserve to go to a bowl game, but I don't think it should happen this way." >>

Hawaii is a terrible team this year, and even worse on the road. MSU smells a bloodbath and so do I... 54-16 MSU

I like your thinking. Go State. I had heard that MSU coach Smith even asked Kent State not to send Hawaii any game footage.
