Harbaugh Responds to Sparty Trolling with a Tip of the Cap
As everybody knows, Harbaugh spent last night at Quinn Nordin's house trying to flip the nation's #1 kicker. He was welcomed to Rockford by this sign:
A lesser man would have ignored it and grumbled quietly...
Harbaugh responds by recognizing the effort and applauding the fan's commitment to the rivalry...

I don't know that it was meant as a troll job. I actually just believe he respects the preparation. We are talking about a guy who watched a traffic officer direct traffic for an hour because he likes to see people "perform at the highest level."

We need to help him retroll them in October.
Seriously, we need a HUGE maize and blue representation in Spartan Stadium. 15-20k ideally. Then we can chant "Harbaugh! Harbaugh! Harbaugh!" when we win. They would just LOVE it!

I'm really hoping for a cathartic humiliation that breaks their recruiting and forces Dantonio into retirement.
January 15th, 2016 at 11:41 AM ^
Yup. I actually want to thank the dickhead MSU fans who did that. If it did anything, it simply added more fuel for Harbaugh to beat them again.*
*He technically beat them in 2015, but because of something he had no control over, we lost...you get my point.

Harbaugh trolled their troll...
In response, Mike D' Antoni will post the picture on the bulletin board at MSU as a sign of disrespekt and add to the chip on his shoulder...

Clearly Quinn is a kid whose family looks like they can afford to pay for a semester of college.
Nice houses.

My point exactly.
(even though I was joking...I'd never tell someone how to spend their money in real life. But this is just the internet).

Everything on that sign seems spelled correctly, color me shocked
January 15th, 2016 at 9:47 AM ^
Still used that split M though. Hasn't been used since last century or so.
January 15th, 2016 at 9:52 AM ^
January 15th, 2016 at 10:43 AM ^
Has it been more than 15 years since we used the split M? Wow, I'm older than I thought.

A Notre Dame fan proof read it for him.

MSU is easier than "STAEE" err "STATE"...they only get half credit from me.
January 15th, 2016 at 9:41 AM ^
those East Lansing buttfucks are proud of "winning" that game.

Their "winning" is on par with Charlie's "winning"
January 15th, 2016 at 9:47 AM ^
is superior to any Sparty, in every way. Even with the AIDS.
January 15th, 2016 at 10:47 AM ^
that's what i'm talking about.

precisely
January 15th, 2016 at 9:49 AM ^
We wouldn't be happy about it.
January 15th, 2016 at 9:52 AM ^
While also recognizing that it was a complete fluke and that we were lucky to escape with a win.
January 15th, 2016 at 10:17 AM ^
I would also laugh incessantly at them for it, I would remember it for the rest of my life, and I wouldn't give a shit that we stole one.
It's not like it was Colorado and they got a 5th down. The clock game in 2001 was more bullshit than this game was.
Trying to make fun of them for celebrating the craziest ending I've ever seen in my entire life makes us look bad, makes them laugh, and makes sure it never goes away.
I'm never going to apologize to ND fans for somehow finding a way to drive the field in 28 seconds for the winning TD in 2011.

Not even remotely the same thing. One took brilliance and giant cajones. The other was dumb ass luck.
January 15th, 2016 at 11:21 AM ^
Left in the game, chances are they're going to win. I know I thought the game was over.
I just thought of a game where us winning was the unlikely result.
January 15th, 2016 at 10:20 AM ^
This board would set a record for "SPARTY NOOOOO"'s posted in a year if it happened the other way.
January 15th, 2016 at 9:53 AM ^
Similarly I can acknowledge that the game vs. Minnesota was a high percentage of luck considering they could've ran at least 3 plays from the 1.5ft line had they known the clock would've been running.

Coming from the Lansing area means having to sit your own brother down and have a frank conversation about lucky wins (Michigan) and actual wins (OSU). It also means having to explain to FB friends that it's not unreasonable to consider Michigan the third best team in the league this year behind the only two teams they lost to. It's important to Sparty that Michigan not just be lower than them, but be considered the worst team in the league. A big problem with "new money" is they don't know how to handle it.
January 15th, 2016 at 9:52 AM ^
Second they won the game an have every right to be proud of it. Let's all stop being poor losers and accept that it was a close game where both teams played their hearts out and nothing was given. They took that win.

Uh, definitely not IU. That was just a close game we won in overtime.
It wasn't just that MSU was a close game, it was how they won. Minnesota is closer to MSU, but still we had to do something to stop them (the goal line stand was on our defense). MSU literally didn't do anything. No blocked punt. They roughed the snapper (penalty) and then our punter threw the ball right into one of their hands. Miracle of the decade, or close to it.
January 15th, 2016 at 10:47 AM ^
A convenient hold or two on the return didn't hurt.
January 15th, 2016 at 10:39 AM ^
January 15th, 2016 at 11:33 AM ^
The mere fact of being in a close game does not mean a team "should win."
Having the ball with 10 seconds left and needing only to get off a punt to win . . . that is a case where you should win.
January 15th, 2016 at 10:04 AM ^
In that context, you are right. The Mad Hatter was using the word "buttfuck" not as a verb, but as a noun and a plural noun at that. For it to be an insult it would need to be used more properly as an adjective, like the word "stupid" followed by a noun - singular or plural.
Thus, the words "East Lansing" are the insult, not the word "buttfuck", because he could have said "Slippery Rock Buttfucks" and that would have been a compliment as we like Slippery Rock fans and alums.

A win is a win. When the final whistle blew, they had more points than us. That's all that matters.
Also, it's not like that was their ONLY victory over us in recent years... We don't have much to be proud of in the rivalry over the last 8 years or so.

made your own logos...thats so CUTE!!!
