Sports and gambling … what could go wrong?

"Premium seating area at Spartan Stadium"
Wouldn't that be any seat that's NOT in the stadium?
January 13th, 2022 at 12:37 PM ^
It depends.....
January 13th, 2022 at 12:43 PM ^
It's like being the tallest kid in the first grade or the leper with the most fingers.
January 13th, 2022 at 11:59 AM ^
Mmmmm!
Love their salads.

Tuck Comin' presented by Caesars Sportsbook
January 13th, 2022 at 12:20 PM ^
All gambling proceeds are deposited directly in Mel Tucker's bank account.
January 13th, 2022 at 5:51 PM ^
January 13th, 2022 at 12:40 PM ^
God I hate that phrase.
January 13th, 2022 at 12:44 PM ^
When I hear "Tuck Comin'" I think of that guy in Silence of the Lambs dancing in front of the mirror.
January 13th, 2022 at 1:43 PM ^
Where did this phrase come from? Is Mel Tucker a huge fan of The Wire, does he have connections to Baltimore or was he close friends with the late Michael K. Williams?
Please tell me there's more depth to this sparty rally cry than "Our coach is black, you know who else is black? Omar from the Wire." *Taps side of head* "Makes you think, bro."

Additional information and context in this Freep article.

Specifically did *not* post that link for a reason.

I am not against sports betting, but isn't having a casino directly affiliated with a college athletic program a problem in some way?
January 13th, 2022 at 12:08 PM ^
I look forward to watching Spartan players signing NIL deals with Caesar's Sportsbook, because college athletes have never fallen afoul of gambling interests.
January 13th, 2022 at 12:22 PM ^
I look forward to all the Spartan players placing prop bets on their individual performance.
January 13th, 2022 at 3:18 PM ^
Pete Rose says "Where can I get in on some of this action?".
January 13th, 2022 at 12:10 PM ^
Not sure it's a "problem" per se (gambling is easily accessible already, a partnership doesn't change that), but definitely an interesting indication of values.
January 13th, 2022 at 12:54 PM ^
Perhaps the Spartans can create a new award named for Art Schlichter, Tim Donaghy, or Shoeless Joe Jackson?
January 13th, 2022 at 1:26 PM ^
I think you misspelled 'Pete Rose.'
[Shoeless Joe was framed!]
January 13th, 2022 at 12:13 PM ^
"Student"- athletes need to have a place to spend all that NIL money
January 13th, 2022 at 12:14 PM ^
This seems...unwise.
January 13th, 2022 at 12:16 PM ^
What happened to Muscle Milk? Are the bruhs looking for a new path to success?
January 13th, 2022 at 3:01 PM ^
The Michigan State Spartans Presented By BALCO?
January 13th, 2022 at 12:16 PM ^
Not the sort of partner I would be looking to add, but whatever floats your boat.
January 13th, 2022 at 12:16 PM ^
Of course.
January 13th, 2022 at 2:21 PM ^
Different strokes for different folks. Frames Janklin and PSU are working out a exclusive deal with the Mustang Ranch.in Nevada.
January 13th, 2022 at 12:20 PM ^
I hate those Caesars Sportsbook commercials. Hate sparty too, so.
January 13th, 2022 at 12:20 PM ^
Lol. Never change, MSU.
January 13th, 2022 at 12:24 PM ^
great, the next time i go to spartan stadium i'll have to listen to j.b. smoove screaming in my face. i mean, i like him on 'curb,' but those commercials are like needles in my eardrums.
January 13th, 2022 at 1:03 PM ^
Hopefully you go there only once every two years.
January 13th, 2022 at 12:25 PM ^
I look forward to future partnerships that seem equally unwise:
Puff - the official cannabis partner
Sofa City - the official furniture partner
Hell, maybe there’s even a back alley HGH and Steroid shop that can become the official pharmacy.
January 13th, 2022 at 12:31 PM ^
Having actually partied in the Den of the Mellow Men, back in the early 70s, a cannabis partnership with the football team would seem not inappropriate.
Actually, the biggest "viper" I encountered was Paul Seymour. He could inhale more than half a doobie in one puff.
I also played pickup bball with Billy Taylor at the old Waterman Gym. Even though he was only 5'9" (generously), he was almost impossible to drive on. Quick feet and solid as a rock.
I'm usually not a name dropper. But thought this might be some interesting nostalgia.
January 13th, 2022 at 12:54 PM ^
They are already sponsored by Sofa King because his prices are Sofa King low. Price is important when you burn couches at the rate that Sparty does.
January 13th, 2022 at 1:36 PM ^
There is a definite partnership opportunity here with a self-immolating couch company.
January 13th, 2022 at 12:26 PM ^
I'm only surprised this was announced before their partnership with Axe Body spray and Monster Energy drinks.
January 13th, 2022 at 12:34 PM ^
Rutgers didn't snap up Axe Body Spray first? I find that surprising.
January 13th, 2022 at 12:39 PM ^
but they did get Hawaiian Tropic and some hair gel....
January 13th, 2022 at 12:33 PM ^
Caesar’s saw Hutch’s over-turned td in the UM - MSU game and thought, these guys have the officials in their pocket…let’s partner up.
January 13th, 2022 at 12:34 PM ^
"...responsible sports gaming education."
Is this where 'students' are taught how to place a proper bet? You know, things like what a parlay is; all the different prop bets; how to create a new prop bet... Will probably learn about game fixing, too, right? I mean, you need to know who got caught and why, how to spot holes in various schemes so you can get bettor, err, call out those inequities!
Yeah, this should be really good for a program like MSU, that prides itself on fair play!
January 13th, 2022 at 12:37 PM ^
We are NOT all Caesars!!!
January 13th, 2022 at 12:40 PM ^
Love the first comment in the screengrab.
January 13th, 2022 at 12:48 PM ^
Responsible sports gaming education. k.
Will they have a Responsible alcohol drinking education area?
I think this is NBD, but i will say.. msu is doing things.
January 13th, 2022 at 12:50 PM ^
Spartan Stadium has always been full of degenerates, so I don't see much changing here.
Still, something is rather icky about this.
January 13th, 2022 at 12:59 PM ^
"The Caesers Sportsbook MSU Spartans Presented by Rocket Morgtage" is going to be tough to fit on a jersey
January 13th, 2022 at 1:15 PM ^
I want to know more about the epic history between the Romans and the Spartans.
January 13th, 2022 at 4:57 PM ^
I'd bet that 99% of Spartys believe this is unbelievable brand synergy and not a horrific historical error.
January 13th, 2022 at 1:18 PM ^
Izzo can grab the mic at halftime and tell all the students how to hate Michigan and how to bet a parlay. Awesome.
FYS.
Go Blue.
January 13th, 2022 at 1:21 PM ^
If Michigan can’t or won’t compete with this kind of deal, get ready to start being glad to finish ahead of Rutgers.
