M Fans,
If you didn't hear Sam Webb on WTKA this morning you owe it to yourself. He is very confident and will make you smile. Start with segment 2 and go on. Heck, I enjoyed them all.

Some of the best lines of the week there:
"Michigan State is the hobo who hit the lottery and all of the sudden thinks they're one of the aristocracy. Now it's time to treat them like a hobo."
Sam was on fire this morning.

Make them in maize with Harbaugh-blue lettering, and give them to every Michigan fan entering the Stadium. Send bill to Toys R Us.
Failing seeing that on TV from Phoenix, I MUST have one.

and couldn't turn it off. Though no doubt the energy level will be sky high the rest of the week, the man was truly inspired this AM.

I LOVE how fired up Sam Webb is.
"We've done our kids a disservice, we have a generation of youngsters that don't get it. Michigan is on a certain level by birthright, and michigan state is on another"

I dunno man. That segment made me feel uncomfortable. I'm all about beating MSU, but treating them as lesser people might be where I draw the line.
October 13th, 2015 at 12:10 AM ^
It's all in good fun. He does bring the FLINT TOWN swagger.
October 13th, 2015 at 7:32 AM ^
Honestly, I feel a little strange about it too... I know it's all in good fun, but there are people that take it seriously. Webb doing this doesn't bother me whatsoever, it's the fact that there are fans, Michigan and MSU alike, that really think some of these things that weirds me out.
October 13th, 2015 at 9:17 AM ^
Really think some of what things? That Michigan's football program is simply better in every way than MSU's? That's the most "controversial" thing he's saying. I don't know why that would weird you out or bother you.
October 13th, 2015 at 7:59 PM ^
Because it isn't necessarily true. Simply better in every way than MSU's? You realize what happened the last 6 of 7 years right?

I recall a meeting at the hospital where someone made a anti-Sparty comment and some gal got up and started up with "On the banks of the Red Cedar" and walked out when she finished!
Awkward!
Any banter I have I keep to my pals that give it to me and I keep it light hearted but I don't share it with folks I know are a little sensitive about smack talk.
About the smack talk that Sam is giving up, this is a Michigan-centric radio show so I don't think it's out of line. I'm sure the Sparty stations are the same way towards us.
October 13th, 2015 at 8:26 AM ^
He literally said "You're better than them...not as people...but as a place, hell yeah it's better"

October 13th, 2015 at 12:16 AM ^
Thank you, Sam. All these people freaking out that someone mentioned another shutout, or talk of the playoffs, you are being ridiculous. Nothing that is said here or anywhere else will have any effect on the game.
October 13th, 2015 at 7:49 AM ^
I would say something like "Michigan is playing with house money" but that isn't quite right -- Michigan isn't where it is (i.e., favored in this game) because of luck -- it's where it is because it has worked hard and earned it on the field.
The question isn't whether or not Michigan should win. MSU has not played well enough to have earned that, and if they don't believe that, then they are sure to lose. But I think Dantonio will have them ready, and inside the locker room they understand that they will have to improve to beat Michigan. The real question is, will Michigan shut MSU out?
It's unlikely, because it's really hard to do against anyone, and MSU has a decent offense. But there's nothing wrong with talking about it. Three in a row, two against ranked teams.
It's rare. Enjoy it!

versus MSU o-line will also be key. If the d-line can get consistent pressure, the M defensive backfield will do well.
Conner Cook was very good on several third and long pass plays last Saturday. He'll do a little of the same this week because he is a three year starter and a good decision maker. But a key (maybe the key) to the game is holding down MSU 3rd down coversion rate. And to do that M has to hurry Cook's throws.

Valenti doesn't deserve his own thread, but this was fun to listen to.

He says if you want to talk smack before the game thats fine! Then you should be ready to hear it (Smack-talk) if you lose after the game. So if you are afraid to talk smack before the game don't come around after the game talking the talk acting like you knew your team would win....

I'm with Sam. Michigan State has had a helluva run, but they're still Michigan State. The time has come to reinstitute an old custom.
