I doubt he hears much. Different expectations in general, and specifically this year. This was a possible national championship year for OSU, and they have two losses. They have by far the most talent in the conference and got housed by Iowa.
I think the most optimistic MSU fans were hoping for 7-5 going into the year, and now 9-3 is very much on the table.
OSU has more talent. Both teams bring their A games, OSU wins by a couple touchdowns. MSU brings their A game, and OSU brings a C game, MSU has a shot. What happened was the opposite of that, and that's what happens.
