Yup. The B1G has 14 teams, I can support it just fine pulling for 12 of them.

Got rich when we were down...time to reclaim what is rightfully ours. Call it arrogant, it's extremely arrogant. It's what happened and I'm ready to watch Harbaugh and co. snatch it back.
He did what he's supposed to do, and MSU will be better for it, but get ready to be happy about Outback Bowl wins MSU. That is where you belong.
8-4, 9-3...that's your destiny Sparty. Which is respectable.
Fuck Dantonio, can't wait to watch him finish his career the opposite way of how he started it.
December 30th, 2014 at 6:11 PM ^
One thing I've started to expect is that there is no way he'll allow Michigan to tie the series against him, he'll leave first. They don't think it's possible and I definitely would never say it's a certainty, but here's a possibility I see: a better-than-expected Michigan team playing with energy at home beats them this year. In '16 it's back in EL, but Harbaugh will now have his system fully in place and they'll be breaking in the new QB (and I have it on good authority from Sparties that that's a total disaster for a team). Back at the Big House in '17, and then...ooh, scary. Your move, Mark!

He knows he's been feeding at the trough of our incompetence throughout his tenure. He's never faced a Michigan program at full strength, and the thought that he's about to is terrifying.
December 30th, 2014 at 5:55 PM ^
Dantonio is a raging doucher but I dont blame him at all for not wanting to talk about Harbaugh at his bowl game presser.
December 30th, 2014 at 5:58 PM ^
So on a big stage in TEXAS Dantonio is given the chance to comment on the B1G getting much stronger as a conference and he shuts it down because he is a baby. What a doucher.

Big Brother's back in town. Can't be a great feeling for Marky.
December 30th, 2014 at 6:04 PM ^
Dantonio should be careful, I hear the pride comes before the fall...

Dantonio doesn't want to talk about Harbaugh? No problem.
Speaking for myself, his silence doesn't bother me in the least - since I couldn't give the proverbial rat's ass what Mark of Magnesia thinks, anyway.
December 30th, 2014 at 6:08 PM ^
I dislike Dantonio as much as the next guy but there is nothing at all douchey in those quotes.

I still refuse to even acknowledge Sparty as a main rivalry(may have to change that this year losing ND off the schedule). Nothing ticks off the shartin' spartans like telling them they don't matter.
December 30th, 2014 at 6:27 PM ^
December 30th, 2014 at 6:15 PM ^
I look forward to great battles against them and OSU, we finally have a guy who can get it done.
Let the action on the field do the talking.

He's probably pissed Harbaugh had a 3-1 record at Michigan vs. MSU and his teams won 107-25 in his 4 years.
December 30th, 2014 at 7:39 PM ^
with a broken arm for the one loss, I'm not sure I'd count that in his record v MSU
December 30th, 2014 at 6:19 PM ^
I, for one, will not want Harbaugh addressing the MSU head coach hire of Dan Enos in 2019 as Michigan prepares for a national semifinal game. So I understand completely.
December 30th, 2014 at 6:19 PM ^
Could not possibly care less what Dantonio thinks. Why should we care?
December 30th, 2014 at 6:21 PM ^
Although I agree that this isn't typical Dantonio attitude, he probably could have handled it a little better - like someone said, answer the one question and politely attempt to circle back to the stated topic of the presser (i.e., the Cotton Bowl) upon the followup. He's just not very good at this, in my opinion.
That being said, this makes Big Ten media days a potentially epic affair - Harbaugh, Dantonio, Meyer and Franklin and all the death stares would make for some entertaining moments. It makes me wish Pelini were still around - the awkward silences between these five alone would make me smile for some reason.

Fuck Dantonio. Lets kill them next year and every year to follow.
December 30th, 2014 at 7:44 PM ^
are dubbing Harbaugh as the B1G's Saban. If he wants to be that, and I don't thing he does, - I imagine that he wants to be nothing other than the B1G's Harbaugh - there is one thing that he can do to cement that reputatation:
No UM coach has beaten MSU in his first season since Bennie in 1949.
No MSU coach has ever beaten UM in his first season, with one exception - Saban.
December 30th, 2014 at 6:35 PM ^
a classless little bitch. And his insecurity about Michigan constantly hangs over him like a black cloud. Can't wait to beat them next year here in AA.
December 30th, 2014 at 6:36 PM ^
That being said, I hope we curb stomp MSU next year. You can bet Harbaugh will get this team fired up to play them. He may have brushed the question off today of how he's felt about watching us get beat badly by MSU and OSU of late, but he's definitely been paying attention. He'll get those guys ready to go out and punch MSU right in the throat.

kind of like the abominable snowman doesn't want to talk global warming. scary business for that little guy. thought he was really going to take over the state, but instead he just found out that the varsity just took residence down the road for him.
December 30th, 2014 at 6:39 PM ^
Most days I don't want to talk about Dantonio either.

...b/c I could give a fuck what he thinks. Honestly, if he bristled at the question, then he's way too easy. It was obviously asked in order to push his buttons, and I'm guessing he was all too willing to oblige. When is this guy going to learn to take the high road?
The past couple days as I've been out in public (wearing my Bo-style M hat), when I've seen Sparties wearing their gear, I just politely smile, but on the inside, I'm thinking, "It's on, motherfuckers."
December 30th, 2014 at 6:54 PM ^
Dantonio does not want to talk about Harbaugh.The first rule of Harbaugh is: You do not talk about Harbaugh.
December 30th, 2014 at 7:02 PM ^
There's a clown car waiting for Dantonio once Harbaugh rights the ship!

The actual comment wasn't that big of a deal. He might have been a little classier about it, but that's not in his nature.
And it's absolutely appropriate for him to want attention focused on his team which is playing a very good Baylor squad. I'm ambivalent about whether MSU wins or loses, but if forced to choose, would probably pick Sparty because a B1G win in a bowl against a team that just missed the playoffs and is the Big 12 co-champion would be a huge statement.

1. I know people on the MSU coaching staff personally. Four years ago, he was the one and only person that the MSU coaching staff did not want Michigan to hire. "nuff said.
2. I find it extremely disappointing, and frankly extremely unlikey, that Dantonio was not mortally offended by Harbaugh's incredible insult, condescension and disprespect toward MSU throughout this entire process, press conference, and Crisler appearance this afternoon. I'm 110% certain that it is already bulletin board material at the Duffy Daugherty Building.
December 30th, 2014 at 7:39 PM ^
Say wha-?
Harbaugh specifically declined to make any guarantees and referenced neither MSU nor OSU directly.
December 30th, 2014 at 7:47 PM ^
Dantionio will consider it insulting and disrespectful to not be insulted or disrepected.
December 30th, 2014 at 8:27 PM ^
Well, that isn't true. He did state, "they're both great programs."
