Dantonio is a Dousche
This guy is sure talking a lot of shit. After the loss to PSU, they asked him if he was embarrassed that Joe Pa ran up the score. His response was "I would be embarrassed if we were 3-9 going in to this game" Someone needs to pop this guy in the freaking mouth.
November 24th, 2008 at 11:10 PM ^
He's also a douche.
November 24th, 2008 at 11:11 PM ^
Thanks for the correction on the spelling, I always add an S for some reason.
November 24th, 2008 at 11:16 PM ^
comment....hey dantonio...IT'S BECAUSE YOU FOCUS ON MICHIGAN AND NOTHING ELSE. Maybe if you actually gave a f'ing shit about your own team, you'd have gone 12-0 and not gotten raped in your two biggest games. If your attitude stays like this, you'll be getting raped in big games for years.
November 24th, 2008 at 11:18 PM ^
them next year without Javon Ringer aka their entire offense. He has no decent successor. Their QB is shit. The defense is nothing to write home about. I'll be shocked if they break .500.
November 24th, 2008 at 11:21 PM ^
i didn't give two shits what MSU did in their games before. But Dantonio is as bad as Charlie Weis. Hey makes you want to see him fail. I hope he fails miserably. In fact, I hope he takes the Tennessee job so I can laugh at MSU fans for worshiping that scUM and laugh at Dantonio when he gets smashed by Florida, Georgia, LSU, Auburn, Bama, ect.
November 24th, 2008 at 11:26 PM ^
That we are talking about him right now and that I have let his extreme assholeness get to me, but I agree that I now root against Michigan State and ND where as before Weis and Dantonio I always rooted for them when Michigan was not playing them. Sad
November 25th, 2008 at 8:38 AM ^
I'm not from Michigan, have only met a few friends of friends from MSU and have no daily interaction with anyone from MSU.
Basically, I don't care about them, but understand that people from Michigan view it as a major rivalry. The problem is when a douche coach talks sh*t about us instead about his own team. Every MSU loss is now awesome to me!
Go Blue.
November 24th, 2008 at 11:20 PM ^
i love it and hope idiots like him keep giving our kids bulletin board material to look at all off season. i have a feeling we're gonna come out with a major chip on our shoulders next year which is something we sorely missed this year...
November 24th, 2008 at 11:20 PM ^
But talking a ton of shit and being a complete ass all the time is a good way to get your ass kicked a whole lot
November 24th, 2008 at 11:23 PM ^
maybe Dantonio should take a good long look in the mirror at himself.
November 24th, 2008 at 11:22 PM ^
They'll break .500, but they're going to be that team that finishes 4th in the big ten every year, never a really bad team, but never good. They'll be 7-5 or 8-4 consistently, never better because they'll never have the talent to get over the hump, and never worse because they'll have enough gimme's to get by. I'd be surprised with anything less.
November 24th, 2008 at 11:29 PM ^
run the ball up the middle 50 times a game next year? I never thought Ringer was a god but he sure is a durable back. If they had a viable alternative I'm sure he would have seen the field more this year.
November 25th, 2008 at 9:11 AM ^
State fans are hoping one of the two recruits in this class take over. I doubt that's going to work -- it isn't like those two really any more highly regarded than the Guff/Shaw combo, and I don't think they could have carried the load either this year. They're basically hoping for the Adrian Peterson scenario, which just almost never happens.
November 25th, 2008 at 9:19 AM ^
what I thought. Every team has that shot of landing the sleeper future NFL legend and being awesome. I just don't think this is very likely (esp for Sparty) and they will be back to mediocre next season.
Plus, if Dantonio stubbornly tries to force a guy to repeat Ringer's performance, he will break said person in half. He strikes me as the type of braindead coach that would do this.
November 25th, 2008 at 9:51 AM ^
The combo they have coming in is a bigger back and a more typical back, I think (it's the two in-state guys), so I'm presuming if those two end up supplanting the upperclassmen he'll use them the same as he did Caulcrick/Ringer.
The one guy they put in to spell Ringer fumbled on like his second or third touch against us and was never seen again in that game. I can see why they think/hope the freshmen will be playing -- it seems neither the fans nor the coaches think much of the guys they currently have left after Ringer.
November 24th, 2008 at 11:27 PM ^
Despite his words it was pretty obvious that he was either embarassed or extremely pissed off about the way Penn State ran up the score (which they HAD TO DO if they have any hope of getting back into the BCS conversation if things break their way) by the way that he handled the clock managmeent at the end of that game (back to back timeouts with about 15 seconds left and down by about a ton). It was so bad that the commentators on ABC were even calling Dantonio out for it. Not sure if anyone else saw that or not...
November 24th, 2008 at 11:31 PM ^
JoePa comes off as such a good guy to me that I actually enjoy cheering for Penn State to rep the Big Ten. I can't cheer for MSU anymore because of Dantonio. He deserves to fail. He's just an all around dick. I can't root for OSU just because of the rivalry, but Tressel doesn't really bother me that much. (except for when he beats us)...Weis as well, is a smug arrogant coach. He also deserves his losses.
November 25th, 2008 at 12:22 AM ^
and he is satan
that is all
November 25th, 2008 at 8:34 AM ^
Good on ya.
November 24th, 2008 at 11:31 PM ^
even entered the conversation on this question. From what I can tell the question was solely about PSU and he starts shitting out of his mouth about Michigan. Wtf?
November 24th, 2008 at 11:35 PM ^
post on here. It's because he's obsessed with Michigan. Every question, every game, is about Michigan. In fact, I'm pretty sure getting blown out by Penn State and Ohio State was all part of his master plan to beat Michigan for the next 10 years.
November 25th, 2008 at 1:48 AM ^
It's as if he were obsessed with losing by less than we did...
Definitely looked like a jackass doing it, whatever the motive. Not gonna win, pal, get over it.
November 24th, 2008 at 11:32 PM ^
Not to rain on your parade or anything, but I'm pretty sure he was just reversing the record for MSU. I think you guys are getting a little paranoid.
November 25th, 2008 at 1:50 AM ^
Pretty sure, are you? And what makes you so sure? Given his track record, I'd say our interpretation has plenty of support. And yours?
November 24th, 2008 at 11:33 PM ^
I think this is Dantonio's plan. He knows Michigan fans could care less about him, while they root against OSU and ND constantly. In order to elevate his team to the next level, he has to have a rival who is really pissed at him constantly. For that reason, he says a ton inflammatory stuff, even when to do so is entirely vacuous, in hopes of getting on Michigan's radar.
November 25th, 2008 at 12:30 AM ^
He should be careful what he wishes for. He might get it (and an epic beatdown that goes with it!)
November 24th, 2008 at 11:33 PM ^
The guy is a little bitch. As far as recruiting goes, he is doing a decent job I have to give credit where it is due. We are gonna battle it out with him for the services of Austin White and William Gholston next year.
November 24th, 2008 at 11:40 PM ^
is that RR can lose out on both of those in-state guys and just head out of state and find guys of equal or greater value.
November 24th, 2008 at 11:34 PM ^
that all msu tries to do is beat us...that is their sole purpose in life...big ten titles, rose bowls, it means nothing as long as they try to beat their big brother
did you see how hard they cheered when they beat us when they were FAVORED against us?
November 24th, 2008 at 11:35 PM ^
I can't help but point out the irony in that claim when your profile picture is the Sparty statue.
November 24th, 2008 at 11:39 PM ^
out the irony that you're on a Michigan blog. Not even just a Michigan forum, you're on a blog...
November 24th, 2008 at 11:41 PM ^
So are you.
November 24th, 2008 at 11:42 PM ^
doctor
November 24th, 2008 at 11:46 PM ^
Because you are interested in reading the articles, as am I.
November 24th, 2008 at 11:47 PM ^
you're interested in bashing michigan. the only things i've ever seen you comment on were troll remarks you make in threads that lead people to believe it's an MSU topic
November 24th, 2008 at 11:49 PM ^
No articles here in this forum, sir. Since we know you're a Sparty fan, your input will be immediately tossed aside, if read. Just an FYI.
November 25th, 2008 at 12:23 AM ^
its sparty painted with a block M on his chest
dumbass
November 24th, 2008 at 11:38 PM ^
them for cheering when they won a game...i cheer hard when my teams win games, even when they're favored. The problem is that they still cheered against Michigan when Michigan winning could have helped them have a shot at the Rose Bowl. That comment about "look at your feet...in five years they'll be in the Rose Bowl"...no they won't, because he roots against teams that can help him get there.
November 24th, 2008 at 11:43 PM ^
Guys, chill out. The idiot clearly wasn't talking about us because there aren't 13 games in the regular big ten season. How could a team be 3-9 going into a big ten regular season game?
November 24th, 2008 at 11:45 PM ^
he was talking about nobody? by that logic, he couldn't have been talking about his own team either.
November 24th, 2008 at 11:46 PM ^
hes so retarded that he cant count the number of games in a season...hes a perfect fit for msu
November 24th, 2008 at 11:47 PM ^
He doesn't know what a pun is, so I think his math could be a little off as well?
November 24th, 2008 at 11:46 PM ^
No, I'm saying he is an idiot... and that is quite the jump in logic.
November 24th, 2008 at 11:51 PM ^
MSU boards seem to think that it is more of a reference to the opposite to their 9-3 record. http://www.spartantailgate.com/forums/msu-red-cedar-message-board/35111…
seems reasonable but dantonio is still a gigantic douche who is mostly irrelevant but stays on our minds by saying really childish things from time to time. also, one poster says there are "MSU obsessed UM fans". I really don't think those exist
November 24th, 2008 at 11:54 PM ^
to be an MSU obsessed UM fan because UM fans also talk about Ohio State, Notre Dame, and anything about the state of Florida. Probably more about any of those 3 than about MSU.
November 25th, 2008 at 1:18 AM ^
nevermind
November 25th, 2008 at 3:48 AM ^
the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle coach wasn't embarrassed by the blow out. I'm glad he'd rather talk crap about us. I'm glad he and every other idiot takes joy in beating us in our worst year in recent memory. It'll just make me cheer and laugh louder when we get this ship turned around and start hanging 50-70 points on their asses every year. Enjoy the trash talk Ninja Turtle dude cause they are numbered.
November 25th, 2008 at 7:29 AM ^
someone is asking for it. I wouldn't be surprised if we ran up the score on him next year. Even take cheat shots at his players.
November 25th, 2008 at 9:22 AM ^
I was pissed at first, but after hearing it a few times I really think he was just flipping their record (9-3) around. I really doubt a major college football coach would be thinking about a team that they beat earlier in the year after get waxed. I'm sure at that point he was more focused on how to get his team back up and thinking positive for their bowl game.
Now, if it WAS a dig on Michigan that is pretty strange.
November 25th, 2008 at 9:53 AM ^
"I was pissed at first, but after hearing it a few times I really think he was just flipping their record (9-3) around."
Eh, he's still a douche.
