MSU Puts Michigan Score On Cotton Bowl Rings

New world...
"Little Brother" gets thrown around a lot, but this is why it will never die. It's about so much more than what happens on the field. They have a major superiority complex.
Reaching to make yourself look highly ranked by using a poll no one cares about, and then bragging about winning a game against a bad team.
If that's not "Little Brother" I don't know what is.
Actually they have an inferiority complex... and they're stupid.
There are articles about these rings and it said MSU puts the score of their second biggest win (after the bowl game) on their bowl rings. Their Rose Bowl ring celebrates the win over Ohio State in the B1G championship. Ohio State also does this and has the score of the Michigan v. OSU game from the 2008 season on their conference championship rings. I don't really read that much into it.
Oh well... then this thread just got awkward with all the jealousy and hate...
If true, I guess that makes sense, though you'd figure their wins over Ore...er, I mean Ohio...um, Nebraska or PSU would be higher on the list.
But yeah, if that's a tradition then I guess do it. Still seems weird to me, and just because OSU (with its own complex) does it doesn't really change that calculus.
By comparison, UM's 2012 Sugar Bowl ring had the game score and the player's name and Team 132 on the opposite side. That seems to make sense than another score.
Thats' the thing about Sparties "awesome" season - they beat almost no one except a Baylor team that packed it in up 20 about 5 minutes too early - beat a bunch of bad Big 10 teams incl UM and lost to anyone with a heartbeat. Nebrasks is probably their best win of the regular season - and that was a team that Wiscy crushed and McNeese State almost beat in Nebraska. I can't find the 2nd best team they beat - I guess Maryland.
The B10 was underrated this past year as bowl season indicated.
It went 6-5, with 2 of those wins being OSU's in the playoffs. It was better than the past couple of years, but this wasn't a banner year for the conference as much as a banner year for OSU.
Unfortunately, this "second-best win" thing just goes to prove the "Little Brother" complex even further.
U-M's record was worse than Maryland, Rutgers, and Nebraska. Heck, even Penn State finished bowl eligible and with a better record, though they were behind us in the conference standings.
Beating a 5-7 team and counting it as your second-biggest win is just silly. But even more silly is that even after all of their effort to be noticed, MSU will never be more than our second-biggest rival, and perhaps only that because the ND chickens bailed.
When we won the Outback Bowl in 2002, did we put the score of our victory over the 5-7 Spartans? Can you imagine ANY situation where we would put the score of a win over a 5-7 MSU team on our championship rings? Would NEVER happen.
Please. This is the ultimate LB move.
Let's just beat them and end this nonsense.
... While I agree it is petulant, I love the level of hate they bring to our rivalry. They are consumed by it. it's really quite impressive.

You're delusional.
Even though Moo U has won most of the games against Michigan lately, they, BY EVERY MEASURE, still look to us for validation. There is NO cogent reason to put the score of the UM game on their bowl rings.
They are the ultimate little brother. Little brother finally kicks big bro's ass and instead of being happy with it, they still look up to big bro. Little brother doesn't even become a thing either if Dantonio didn't take personal offense to Mike Hart. If Dantionio kept his pie hole shut, this wouldn't be a thing.
They are kicking our asses right now, much more than OSU and partly due to the fact that they care about the rivalry more than we do because it's not a talent issue.

I hate the "they cared more" argument in sports because it's so lazy. Clearly Devin Gardner had less care than Connor Cook. DAMMIT DEVIN WHY DIDNT YOU CARE MORE
The issue is clearly not Dantonio having a good program and Hoke being in over his head. We need more FEELINGS
MSU remains little brother because they always find their value in how they compare to Michigan

You forgot the /s
Dude... just stop.
How does that whole "pride comes before the fall" thing go? I think Mark is cutting his weeds a little too short these days.
Mork guaranteed a win to ESPN the day before the OSU game. He forgot his own words.
"Pride comes before the fall".
Between this and the OSU idiot, makes it hard to buy all of the arguments from both camps that Michigan is "irrelevant" and not in their heads.
By all means MSU, enjoy your win over a Baylor team that ran you off the field for 3 quarters and then inexplicably stopped running a coherent offense. But the fact that multiple adults had to agree that putting the score of your rivalry game on your championship ring was a great idea is ludicrous.
have made a career out of beating M the past few. We all know that's coming to an end, Duhtonio knows it too.
AWWWW that's cute. Look at them having fun and enjoying being good and their little rings for the Cotton Bowl. It's totes adorbs guys!
Lloyd Carr must have been consulting Baylor that game.
LOL Pathetic. They have such a high retardation level and massive inferiority complex that they can't even enjoy their bowl win. That shit is hilarious.

Yes, it is necessary. It's a real word and it applies to them.
Do you think they're little brother, too?
Slightly different context, but YES!
We've been down since 2008 yet everyone still thinks the best thing in the world is to win against Michigan. It means in their eyes, we are the absoute Kings of the Hill.
As said above, it was basically their bowl game so it makes sense. But the fact that they put "TUN" is gimmicky. The joke is going to be lost in 20 years and these guys will just have a tacky ring. It'd be a nicer keepsake if it just said 'M'

MSU does not. UM-OSU is considered one of the great rivalries in American sports. UM-MSU is not
In no way are the two comparable.
His football program is superior at this point, and yet some how he found a way to make them look pathetic. This practically screams out, "I'M TERRIFIED OF JIM HARBAUGH"
