Sparty No!

Wow. 2013 MSU commitment Jay Harris decides to turn down a scholarship to MSU for a rap career. I thought it couldn't get lower for Sparty after Drake Harris and Lawrence Marshall...

I took a chance and waded into the depths of the RCMB for a little Saturday afternoon enjoyment after the Marshall commitment. Meltdown is in full effect. I found this gem that made me literally LOL:

I don't know what's in the water in AA, but it's making kids believe whatever it is they're selling. I'd be very interested to see what the average visit is like down there. Between the dump of a city, the hideous girls, and a disgusting, inarticulate slob of a head coach, I'm surprised they can even put together a recruiting class - let alone a top ranked one. Nostalgia for the 1800s should only be able to take a program so far in 2013.

Enjoy your Saturday, everyone! 

The highlight of Sparty's year is upon us: the release of their Arby's "collector's" paper cup.  From my favorite Sparty fan with a message for Michigan at the end:

In case you missed last year's cup:

MSU's Derrick Nix was arrested Monday night in East Lansing on charges of operating a vehicle with the presence of drugs and marijuana possession, according to East Lansing 54-B District Court records.

UPDATE (quote from Izzo):

“Based on the information we have received, Derrick Nix has been suspended indefinitely from our basketball team, and his future with our program is uncertain. He made an irresponsible decision that has put his future with our program in serious jeopardy.”

Leave some comments Fergodsakes!

First, I just want to say how cool it has been to get to interact with so many people on this board over the last few weeks.  We really have a great group of people here and I think I speak for everyone when I say that the people here are a big part of why I love Michigan football. 

A few of you have asked if there would be a good place for a happy hour/meetup on the second and I meant to get this up earlier, but I've been swamped at work.  Better late than never, so if anyone is still on the board and going to NOLA, I will be at Cooter Browns tomorrow, January 2nd, from 11-3ish to, among other things, watch Sparty faceplant on national television.  Directions to get to cooter browns can be found online at cooter brown's website or in the NOLA document I made (see below).  Great meeting so many awesome people through this, hope I get to meet up with a few of you in person, and GO BLUE!!
