Humorous Sparty news: 2 more Spartans arrested
2 Spartan football players arrested in a bar in Aspen, Max Bollough and Brian Linthicum. Apparently Linthicum was beating up some British guy, and to top it off, had to be tasered after they both tried to run from the cops. Another example of the moral and ethically superior program run by Dantonio. First TT now this--will people ever start looking past the facade these guys put out and actually look at facts?

EDIT: Apologies for re-post, I was under the impression this happened last night and didn't go back far enough to check

Wait, TT? This is news to me!

Yes, I realize this is funny b/c its sparty, but honestly, I find young men blowing great opportunities b/c they lack self-control to be more sad than anything else. Their lives will never be the same.
You are acting like they won't be allowed to play football at MSU when spring practice starts up.

Is this post on repeat or something?
Kinda makes me nostalgic for the RR threads. Ahhhh....memories.

Is your signature line new? I feel like that's something I definitely would have noticed before.

I'm a fan too. I can't wait until April, though I think they might fuck it up. Doing it in two parts should help, IMO. When they kept going back and forth about movie rights a few years back I was hoping Showtime or someone would do a mini-series, but hopefully a two part movie will work.
I started on her books with the Fountainhead as a junior in high school, and Rand butchered that script. I'm hoping this turns out much better, Atlas is one of my favorites.

Actually THREE parts (hello Fellowship of the Ring) so maybe they won't butcher it. Reviews are mixed...predictably...given how much emotion Ayn Rand can generate both positive and negative. If you want a really good short (believe it or not) work from her read "The virtue of selfishness" which she wrote shortly after she emigrated from Communist Russia. It's one of her first, if not the first, published writings.
Very pleasant surprise to hear three parts. Yes, I've read it. I've read basically everything she's had published, with the exception of her journals (I still haven't finished We the Living).
I won one of the top prizes in the Fountainhead contest that the Ayn Rand Institute runs, and got most of her written works as a side prize.
I definitely have no problems believing that reviews on Atlas are mixed. Even people who agree with 95% of her opinions (not getting into this here, but I think you can get the picture) violently disagree with her other 5%, not even mentioning the people who's ratio is the other way. She was nothing if not polarizing.
(FYI Virtue of Selfishness was one of her later works, she went from screenwriter to novelist to philosopher.)

MSU football players getting arrested doesn't exactly put the "new" in news.
March 12th, 2011 at 10:20 AM ^
Quick, throw up a SIAP so that you aren't ripped apart by the MGoCommunity!
"Go Blue!" at the end.
If Tressel gets off lightly by the NCAA, then "Go Blue!! Happy Easter!!" will become the new get-out-of-jail-free card.

I expected more from you, Wolverine1987...
maybe from the newbies on the board, but not you...

I don't think kangaroos can give birth to kittens, if that helps answer.
No, that would make me MGoDad.

We know.

I think this is the fourth thread on this topic...

You should know better than to think that news that old wouldn't have already been posted.

In his defense, "spartans arrested" in the Mgosearch returns 57,296 matches. Needle in a haystack.

In other breaking news, Brady Hoke has been hired as the new football coach.
March 12th, 2011 at 10:42 AM ^
fourth time around I guess.
March 12th, 2011 at 10:53 AM ^
The football team, anyway, kept their noses clean for over fifteen months. That is a long time to expect Spartans not to party, pillage, and plunder. It's probably even a longer time to expect them not to get caught.
March 12th, 2011 at 11:02 AM ^
I will repeat even though it comes across as jerky - if you are reading a story on ESPN/yahoo/whatever and it is older than a day, figure it has already been posted.

Herbstreit isn't perfect, but he's better than most. It's kind of sad that people give him a hard time in his hometown/home state.
March 12th, 2011 at 11:35 AM ^
Honestly, when I read it, I felt bad for him - it has to be REALLY bad if he's now moving away from Ohio because the fans of his alma mater are classless asshats. The humor in it is that this is so stereotypically OSU-fan to hound and berate those who commit heresy against "their" program......
March 12th, 2011 at 12:54 PM ^
his remarks on TT.
Me thinks that whole state has been cursed since Dan Gilbert bought the Cavs. Karma!
Not surprising. We know he a fake buckeye

Just because it bears repeating on the program Dantonio is running.
After all, what more can we say about that institution other than the following:
