have the ability to do that four times as well, but an injury to my lower back has restricted it to only about two times as well.

Spartys gonna Spart
simple as that
As Chris Fowler said, "That's why you're Michigan State."
is a very wise man. Sparty gonna spart. I agree with OP, this proves, once again, that Lil Bro is behaving like a Lil Bro and deserves the moniker.
This is not news or even worthy of a thread on this highly-esteemed board.

I'm still gonna root for them in their game. Big brother is understanding in that way.
I'm not. Fuck them. I hope they lose in round one.

Well, the SDSU gear is certainly an upgrade from the traditional juggalo garb.

Not quite the same. I don't see any articles about UM fans buying Valpo gear.
Just people constantly cruising the MSU boards and then running back to post about OMG THE HORRORS I'VE SEEN!
If idiot Spartan fans want to waste $15 by buying some SDSU merchandise, well, I'm sure that SDSU is appreciative of the additional liscensing dollars.
That wasn't an MSU message board, it was CBSSports.
You seem really upset, man.
He just got some bad news on Jake Ryan. And he has no idea if his avatar is a pineapple or a penguin. Bad day.
I think you may have a valid point in general, but I think you chose the wrong forum to express it. This article is both relevant to Michigan and unarguably involves Little Brother-like behavior by the Spartan fans.
Which goes back to his point - who cares?
If he doesn't post his opinion and try to initiate some change of culture on this board, we'll always have people posting things about "Look what Sparty did! I can't believe they care so much about us" - it's the height of hypocrisy, and this post is a prime example. We should be above pointing out such inane things.
"we should be above pointing out such inane things". Why? Isnt that what sports and fandom is all about? Talking about our rivals and vise versa?
It is ridiculous to think that we as a fan base are somehow above this or even should be. And yes, I recognize the hypocrisy in always pointing out who Sparty is obsessed with us and frankly I have no problem with that because for the most part, being a fan of one team includes a mostly irrational dislike of the other team and its fans.
At the end of the day we are really just rooting for different colors of laundry.
And the author was in full on troll mode with the comment along the lines of "There is a decent chance South Dakota State will appear to have more fans than Michigan in Auburn Hills come Thursday night."
I mean, that's a troll hard lede right there. Is there a chance? sure! Is it above 1%? Not likely!
They've quadrupled merch sales! I'm sure they must be selling tens of shirts now! It sure will be interesting to see maybe 500 total actual/Sparty SDSU fans in Auburn HIlls!
But to give credit where credit is due, successful troll was successful.
Or a Spartan barking up the wrong tree
I also don't see Wal-Mart selling Valpo gear, it's all about the selection there.
Maybe one of the store managers can put in a request for some Valpo gear before the games begin tomorrow at 12.
an article on CBS sports during the NCAA tournament is not obsessing...you do realize CBS Sports covers the tourney so I was on the site
so you running on here defending MSU is also obsessing then...cool bro!
wrong. They're our 2nd biggest football rival and biggest basketball rival. If their fans or team pull stupid shit we're gonna arrogantly and smugly laugh our asses off at them. Every time.
You do realize how stupid and petty that makes you seem to most people, right?
But I do realize that my "arrogant and smugly" comment was a direct shot across pineapple's bow.
The whole "we don't even think about Staee cuz we're better than that" is the dumbest thing I can think of in sports fandom and that's what pineapple is trying to shove down our throats. The fact is -as I stated - sparty is one of our top 2 biggest rival in the top 2 sports. We think about them constantly, just in a different way than they do us. That doesn't bring us down to their level in the least.
but you're calling the kettle black pointing out what's sad, given you've gone ape on this topic to the point of obsessiveness
...MSU fans are the ones actively rooting for the team who plays against Michigan....this is the ultimate lil bro syndrome in full effect...I have yet to see any Mich fans actively pursue Valpo gear and openly root against Sparty...Im sure there are a few of them, but not nearly as many as the sparty/lil brothers of the world
Simple mathematics would suggest that our fan base has more idiots in it than their fan base.
Simple observation proves the opposite.
you keep bringing up Michigan fans on other sites and bashing them...
but you could only know this by reading other sites...and I am posting an article on MGoBlog from CBS Sports...so again...what is my obsession? If the article was about VCU fans doing this would I be obsessed with them? or OSU if their fans were doing it? I'd still probably post the article because it is about MICHIGAN in some way
maybe everyone who "runs back on MGoBlog" is obsessed
Did you mention something about obsessing?
WHAT IS THE POINT OF MGOBLOG, buddy?
posting about Michigan sports/current events/issues! So an article that involves Michigan is included in that...go back to RCMB or 11W if you want to troll or hate on Michigan
And if MSU was replaced with VCU would I be obsessed with VCU? I really want to stay away from A10 fandom
you've posted NINE times in this thread that his obsessing over what msu fans do is annoying. NINE TIMES. Get over it and move on...
double, sorry
Math is hard.
Nothing wrong with rooting against teams you don't like. Not everybody blindly roots for their conference.
Rooting against a conference school is one thing. Buying merchandise of its opponent and actually attending their game to cheer against them is another.
I think there is some obsession, but our obsession with them is their obsession with us. It's not like we're usually just looking at what their doing and saying "haha." It's usually something with what they're saying/doing, re: UM.
At least that's what I've perceived.
How about writing the same shit over and over
