B1G Football Media Day, Day 1
Dantonio has already spoken with nothing really headline grabbing. Just looked very tired. Tim Beckman spoke and all the questions were about the allegations of his mistreatment of prior players who were injured. Meyer speaks last.
So, what are your thoughts?
When I heard that Dantonio said their main rival is Ohio State because they really respect what they're doing down there, I hated him even more, which I didn't think was possible.
Huh? When did he say that? Twitter would be LOLing if he did.
Matt Charboneau's Twitter feed. Angelique retweeted.
I recall Dantonio being asked about Ohio State as a "rivalry" but it wasn't phrased as it being their main rivalry. Dantonio then blabbered on about his respect for them blah blah blah.
Yeah, I saw the tweet and it's what you're saying.
OSU doesn't share the same feeling as they only have time to obsess over one school from MI.
I still hate him. I think he meant to put us in an inferior position, and was just careful with his words.
When MSU says Michigan is not their main rival, they are pretending it's true.
When Michigan says MSU is not their main rival, it is true.
waiting for the day when we stop talking about football and start watching football. icing on the cake is the wolverines are one of the first games of the season.
So many responses like this on the Blog lately. It's not like this doesn't happen every year. The anticipation is just too much to handle.
Dantonio makes me want to punch a wall. He must be stopped

His cardiovascular system is working on it.
I lol'ed
Classy.
Beckman's final words: "Go fighting illini" sounded so fake
I've never understood the fixation with media day to the point where there are fans that travel to it.
It's essentially the kickoff to the season. By next week, camps will be rolling, rankings will continue to drop, and we'll be in the home stretch. Seems like a legit thing to celebrate to me.
If you're a fan that travels to media day...and you just read THAT coming from ^^THAT GUY^^ you should reeeeeeaaaaaaaallly reevaluate your priorities. Because if WD says it's over the line - then dammit, it's over the line.
WD IS the freaking line.
And this is not me being sarcastic in the slightest. Get your shit together Media Day visitors (unless you're local and you want an autograph for your kid...I get that, and I'll speak for WD and say that he does as well).
I for years have been pushing the ignore Michigan State and only talk about Ohio State cart. I did that not because I don't care about Sparty but because it pissed them off. That is what Dantonio just did. Getting the hair on the back of your neck standing up is the point.
Dantonio is great. Can't believe all the hate. It's more fun when sparty doesn't suck.
For the phrase, "Dantonio is great". A great asshole, yes.
Definitely. I'll never understand Michigan fans that give that monumental asshole the benefit of the doubt.
I think he means it in a loves to hate him sort of way. No one cared about John L Smith. Shit, I can barely distinguish Bobby Williams from Tyrone Willingham in my mind since they fielded such shit teams against us.
I agree with Sam Webb. Love the intense dislike brewing right now. We simply have to beat them and he will implode.
Dantonio is a fine football coach we must grudgingly acknowledge. But the question of whether this is aided by the fact that he has tapped the mainline of Sparty bitterness and inferiority complex is what drives us nuts. I suspect not, and yet it is what the sparties love about him most, and it makes us hate his guts even more.
At least we know that Harbaugh will be sending it back at them reeaaaallll soon.
Time is a flat circle, Mark.
Who gives a rat's ass about sparty besides their own dumbshit community? A dumb school with dumb fans. Of course you expect them to act like uncivilized barbarians because that is what they are. They will soon be back in the toilet where they belong and everyone will relax again.

As soon as Dantonio retires though. As long as he is there, they will remain better than decent, unfortunately.
We now have a better coach than them anyways. Their coach is going to be an ass regardless and we can't play games in July.
Wow just heard adolphis Washington say "shit" on live tv.
He gives me an urge to strike Mark Dantonio. However, when we start kicking their asses again will give me far greater pleasure.
