The block M has been painted green.

Considering they are on the hottest of seats right now, virtually ANY apparent let down looks far worse than it would ordinarily be (in re: Shane Morris). They cannot afford to suffer any further embarrassments, which this clearly is.
October 22nd, 2014 at 7:38 AM ^
they managed to get the letters in the right order with two different colors. .. .

Doesn't one of the frats usually guard the Diag?
October 22nd, 2014 at 7:47 AM ^
Bastards
October 22nd, 2014 at 7:50 AM ^
Is the Bo statue protected?
October 22nd, 2014 at 7:53 AM ^
should line the whole team up and have them walk by this.
October 22nd, 2014 at 7:57 AM ^
Great idea

I thought we were supposed to be guarding this all week? Just another defeat on the year

Fire Brandon.
He could have made the vigil a sponsored event by LifeLock.

Back in my day (RR era) I remember a frat my good friend from high shool was in set up couches and and a big straight leg tent around the M. I believe it was Sig Ep, they usually had pizza in the evenings, and coffee and doughnuts in the morning. Not sure if all the frats pitched and in or if it was just Sig Ep, either way even if the team sucks it seems like a good recruiting event for frats.

Having couches in the diag is pretty risky with Sparty coming to town. MSU is the only college to offer a doctoral degree in couch burning.
October 22nd, 2014 at 8:24 AM ^
but the couches were there for people to sleep in shifts on so shit like this wont happen.
October 22nd, 2014 at 8:25 AM ^
West Virginia U. Gotta go to Morgantown if you want to truly learn at the feet of the couch-burning giants.
October 22nd, 2014 at 8:28 AM ^
Sparty isn't coming to town. Thanks a lot, Dave Brandon.
October 22nd, 2014 at 8:46 AM ^
BornSinner jogged my memory below, it is usually Theta Xi not Sig Ep, my mistake.
October 22nd, 2014 at 8:01 AM ^
This game must be getting to me. I am disproportionately upset by this.
October 22nd, 2014 at 8:10 AM ^
I know that this is silly but I find myself really pissed off about this. Show some damn pride Team 135 and put little brother back in its place.
October 22nd, 2014 at 8:31 AM ^
like the offensive line getting popped in the mouth and not doing anything about it. . .Even the old timers are upset at how feeble we've become. . .
October 22nd, 2014 at 8:01 AM ^
You know. My little brother did this stuff to me all the time.
October 22nd, 2014 at 8:13 AM ^
Paint Sparty blue.
October 22nd, 2014 at 8:26 AM ^
Hoke should parade the entire team past it on the way to practice.
Wake up call. Time to show some fucking fight and pride.
October 22nd, 2014 at 11:57 AM ^
Me gustibus. You gustibus. We missed the bus. They missed the bus. When's the next bus?
October 22nd, 2014 at 12:16 PM ^
Those fargin sneaky bastages...I gonna crush they're boils in a meat grinder!
October 22nd, 2014 at 8:28 AM ^
Par for the course.
October 22nd, 2014 at 8:31 AM ^
Wow... Theta Xi way to drop the ball defending the diag...
October 22nd, 2014 at 8:41 AM ^
They were too busy bro'ing down
October 22nd, 2014 at 8:52 AM ^
They didn't execute.
Hard to figure it out. When they practiced defending it, they looked great.
October 22nd, 2014 at 10:15 AM ^
According to a friend who's a Theta Xi alum, they weren't given clearence to do their "defend the diag" until thursday by the administrators at Michigan, despite the fact that they wanted to start their defending of it on Monday this year.
October 22nd, 2014 at 12:50 PM ^
WTF is wrong with the admin? They do know that this is a week long thing, and not just a Wed-Sat thing? Way to drop the ball there spark plug.
October 22nd, 2014 at 8:38 AM ^
The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the Spartans and the tyranny of evil brahs. Blessed is he who, in the name of the leaders and best, shepherds the Wolverines through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of upset victories. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those Spartan brah's who would attempt to poison and destroy My Wolverines with 60 minutes of unnecessary roughness. And you will know My name is the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon thee.
(Credit to MSU on an age-old prank. I hope their team is looking for their teeth in the turf on Saturday, and we can hear the lamentations of their brahs and women for miles after the game. But Jebus, this sort of shit has been done for ages, and credit to MSU for pulling this off.)
October 22nd, 2014 at 9:27 AM ^
Credit where credit is due: that's Sonny Chiba via Quentin Tarantino. It's fun to see popular culture rewrite the "word of the Lord". Wonder how often that has happened in the past 2 millenia?
October 22nd, 2014 at 8:39 AM ^
Couch burning... vandalism... plastic garbage bags swirling around the stadium... yes, they'll always have the edge over Michigan there
October 22nd, 2014 at 8:53 AM ^
Because no one from Michigan has eeeeever vandalized sparty...

This was actually a dumb move on Sparty's part.
We've been walking around with our tail between our legs in a self-induced coma felling sorry for ourselves and hoping that big bad MSU won't hurt us too much.
This is the slap in the face we need to snap us out of it and remember "Oh, yeah we're Michigan. And you're just Michigan State. Now, where were we?"
October 22nd, 2014 at 8:45 AM ^
Do you really think the players have been feeling the way you describe? I highly doubt it. The minset of this board =/= the mindset of the team. Perhaps often the opposite.
October 22nd, 2014 at 8:59 AM ^
It's hard to isolate yourself from all of the negative noise around the program. The players have said as much. They try to ignore it, but it doesn't help.
We're all in this together. Having the players, coaches, fans, band, cheerleaders, the bus driver, everybody, all fired up at the same time to KICK SPARTY's ASS is what we need right now. So thanks, Sparty.
We can go back to bickering among ourselves next week.
October 22nd, 2014 at 8:58 AM ^
This isn't high school. This won't give the team any additional motivation.
October 22nd, 2014 at 8:40 AM ^
still had a complex about Michigan they used to make such a big deal about defending Sparty.
Not even sure they try anymore
October 22nd, 2014 at 9:00 AM ^
"Still"? They could win 20 in a row, that complex is never going away. It's what makes them who they are. If anyone's changed, it's Michigan fans.
October 22nd, 2014 at 8:47 AM ^
that they spelled it right.
October 22nd, 2014 at 8:53 AM ^
This is why we can't have nice things

After realizing they cannot be trusted to spray-spell a 5-letter word like "STATE" correctly, they have limited themselves to three letters, and the first one was a gimme.
Well done, Sparty. Well done, truly. I admire a person who knows his own limitations.
October 22nd, 2014 at 9:09 AM ^
Blare White has called Michigan losers. If this team comes out flat this week, I am going to be so mad. It doesn't matter if you lose the fight, but you gotta show up to win.
October 22nd, 2014 at 9:10 AM ^
Spartans Will Vandalize
October 22nd, 2014 at 9:13 AM ^
I think many people forget this is a rivalry game and anyhting could happen this week.
October 22nd, 2014 at 9:26 AM ^
oh, little brother
October 22nd, 2014 at 9:25 AM ^
when your team is mediocre and you dont care.
