MSU bumper sticker

I am driving around Metro Detroit the other day and I see a bumper sticker that is all green and white and it says "MSU is THE University of Michigan"  (emphasis on THE like OSU does).  If it wasn't green and white I would not have known what to make of it and even then I was like WTF?

While on pointless subjects to help bridge the time until Saturday, did anyone else notice the brief frame shot of Vincent Smith on the 4th and 1 in the 3rd quarter?  He lines up to the right of Denard and looks straight at the NW linebackers and makes both hands into guns and pulls the trigger.  Then they ran straight at him and picked up the first down, I loved it.  

Go Blue!

I'm re-watching the game

I'm re-watching the game right now and I've noticed it a few times. He does it right before he gets set. He did it on the 4th and 1 in the second quarter, the next play after that and then the first play in the 3rd quarter. I would imagine he does it every play but we just don't see it because the camera doesn't show the offense until after they are set.

Anyone have a direct link to the play or a way to see it online?

I saw that and figured it had something to do with the play - some type of line audible.  But to think he just eyeballed the guy and did the double fingers is great.  Of course, nothing will beat this.

It's just a small portion of MSU fans who are trying to one-up Michigan and embarrassing themselves in the process.

And yeah I saw that bit with Smith, kinda fun to see we have a little swagger

If you're doing nothing, how do you know when you're finished?

They just forgot a few words

I think what they meant to say was, "MSU wishes they were the University of Michigan."

Sorry, I'm compulsively down voting any overused/overrated memes and any uses of "swagger". I actually agree with your post... Aside from the use of the s word.

I'm out of the loop.  When did swag change from "stuff we all get" to shortened swagger?  My wife watches So You Think You Can Dance and they are always saying so and so has swag and I think wtf?

I don't know

I don't know. The old old meaning of swag was literally, a bag of stolen clothes. So maybe it's cool to have swag because you're wearing clothes that you stole and are therefore a badass with swag?

Or maybe there's a new french-language thing in the hip hop community where it's cool to just not pronounce the last few letters of a word.

It's a hip-hop world son, keep up or get out of the way.



 

Swag/ swagger is overrated, maybe we should all switch over to using moxy.  That was popular last season.

You can sum up this sport in two words, 'You never know.'

Someone please provide clip now.  And as far as the bumper sticker, that's bush league.  What do we expect from Sparty though.

It's a bumper sticker meant to get under the skin of Michigan fans.  From your reponse, it appears that they have successfully attained that goal.

All right Lemmings. Bring the heat.

No, it made me scratch my head and then laugh b/c it doesn't really make sense.  Trust me I am not worked up about it, just getting worked up about this game and the fact that this week is creeping by.

Citation?

I can easily imagine him calling Michigan "the Harvard of the West." It's a lot harder to imagine him putting down his alma mater.

I love that quote, but it's also just fundamentally impressive how good he was at pandering if we still put it on shirts 50 years later.

It's not under my skin as much as it's like, huh?  Kind of like Jim Lachey calling Michigan State just Michigan during their game with Ohio, like Hoke's "Ohio".  It's trying to be innovative and fresh but ends up just being a big fail.

Something like that would almost make me go to MSU. But then the thought of my dick falling off would stop me.

I've posted this before,

but I used to be married into a family of Sparties who had season tix.  One year the game was in EL, and I saw MSU students with shirts that said "Wolverines Fuck Squirrels".  It's stupid yet kinda funny.

That's not completely accurate.

Wolverines f#%k whatever the hell they want!  That is pretty funny though. 

I think I heard somewhere that the wolverine is the only known animal to attack a grizzly bear.  Anyone know if this is true?

In my book, if you run towards a grizzly bear and it runs away, you've pretty much kicked its ass.  Also, I'm surprised you can run anywhere because you've got balls big as church bells.

This kind of stuff is increasingly common nationwide, I think

Texas A&M is also trying to position itself as THE university in Texas. It's pretty blatant in that video that they made for their SEC announcement. The opening line: "First in Texas."

I remember seeing V Smith do that, but can't recall when.  There was only one 4th down conversion and it was in the 2nd quarter.  I watched that play and didn't see anything...

If I recall, Michigan was in shotgun with Smith lined up to the right of Denard.  Michigan was driving the ball "to the right" on the screen.  Not sure which side the camera was on though.

I remember that with Smith!  I remember laughing when I see his neon yellow gloves come up from below the screen as he points his "hand"guns downfield.  I just imagined a "pew pew pew" noise before the snap.

Truly awesome.
