MSU bumper sticker

Submitted by 2Blue4You on

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 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.

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

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.

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.

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."
