The telephone tactic could very well backfire, as Cousins is the type of talent that could go 30-20 on a team like MSU. (Of course, he could just as easily get so jacked up that he commits two stupid ticky tack fouls early and becomes a non-factor after being T'ed up for mouthing off.)
I don't like the idea of calling an opposing team at all; what is particularly galling is the language used by those so-called fans. Were I Cousins, I'd save every phone number and call them after the game. (Assuming, of course, I had a good game and my team won.)
