Jalen Rose’s 100-year-old grandma is trash talking Sister Jean

BEEF!

James Dator
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

Michigan is set to face Loyola-Chicago in the Final Four and that means we get Sister Jean vs. Jalen Rose’s grandma in the OLD PERSON BEEF we’ve been waiting for.

“To Jean: It’s been a good ride, but it’s over Saturday. Go Blue! 100.”

Grandma Rose has this delivery down. Her cadence is like a wrestling promo, and she’s a 100-year-old Macho Man. It feels wrong to take joy in the concept of two old people getting in a physical altercation, but on the other hand ...

I’m not saying they SHOULD fight, but I think this one is interesting. Grandma Rose clearly has athletic genes she’s passed on, but Sister Jean has been established as a tactical genius. But them in an octagon and I’m going with Grandma Rose, but in a street fight I have to think Sister Jean would fashion a weapon out of a common object.

But Sister Jean is also a nun, so there are moral quandaries that would prevent her from fighting dirty. Or this is all just about a basketball game and I’m overthinking it.
