Sparty should be pround:

1.  Revived the couch burning tradition.

2. Threw something at Watford that almost hit him as the game ended.

3. After whining in the media about respect, Nix dong punches Zeller.

Pure class, baby, pure class.

MSU has a lot to be pround of, indeed.

he was asked about all alleged dong punch, but couldn't remember because he smoked too much lettuce before the tip and thought Zeller had a bag of Cheetos in his shorts.

At the end of the game something comes flying out of the stands and almost hits Watford.  I was wondering who would be that stupid to throw something at a kid playing a game then I remembered what I was watching.

Doesn't Sparty know burning couches and throwing objects at opposing players is classless, vile, and makes them look completely stupid? And they call us scUM?

They were probably still fuming about Olidepo's inbound off of Matt Costello's back when they set the fire

I texted my little counsin who attends MSU to bring his counch inside after the loss. Hopefully he listened.

a "counch" brings several nouns to mind.

As for the couch burning, I think we should lay off a little.  At least they don't poop in coolers.

It was his "counsin", so "counch" was appropriate.  Kidding.  I bet that text didn't go over too well.  They are very sensitive about the inappropriateness of how they deal with losses.

No, no, it's all those people from outside the community causing all this trouble.

I'll get back to you as soon as I'm done reconciling the outside-the-circle-of-trust troublemakers with the fact that there's no such thing as a "Wal-Mart Spartan" because they don't have bandwagon non-alum fans unlike a certain other school we know.

1) Where do they get all these couches to burn? They've gotta run out at some point, right? Or is EL just a depository for unwanted, ready to burn couches? Who just has an exra couch laying around, ready to burn? (OK, this was more than one question, but this is really troubling me)

2) Who's down to open a used couch store with me in EL? We'd make a killing.

1) It is indeed just such a repository. Furthermore, they are all soacked in alcohol infused frat-urine, making them extra flamable.

2)

old couches that they were looking to get rid of anyway?  Or perhaps waste management charges for bulky items?  cheaper to burn?

I will totally open up a store with you.  But instead of a "store", let's just have a big U-haul parked outside of Breslin.  We will "acquire" our couches from the garbage and then have a sign that reads: "Your choice $20".  No free matches.  We don't want to be charged with anything.  Truck is cheaper than store rental, also.

I need a full time job.  Or I need to start homeschooling the kids....

Did anyone check the engineering school to make sure a bunch of EE majors were not laid out?  With all the focus being on the burning couches, this could have happened without anyone noticing.
