MSU Voted "Fan Base Most Obsessed With Their Rival"
Who cares where this list came from, it's undoubtedly correct. Their very name and mascot - the Spartans - were chosen because UM and Ann Arbor were often called the "Athens of the Midwest."

So true, except there was no voting in this opinion piece.

It was even better than voting. A Sparty writer admitted he is obsessed and even admitted he "(doesn't) disagree" with Sparty once again being relegated to the role of "little brother." Meanwhile, it was a national blogger who said that Sparty is once again "little brother."
All in all, I think the pieces are great. It's nice to see what national people think and nice to know a Sparty writer admits that he agrees with it.

Ohio gets off the hook due to something Sparty did. Thanks a lot, guys.
UCLA fans are rightly noted, I have to say. They hate USC, and I get that, but they hate Cal too, and I understand that at all.

A lot of friends from Michigan have always said that Illinois considers us their main rival. It's weird.

No Obsession, just pure respect for the big brother. It is a family affair after all. /s

Is postgame.com anything like the Freep? Do we hate them? If we don't, we could post the direct link for those who would rather read the list instead of getting a Spartan fan's take on the list.

Who is their rival?
Ours is located in Ohio .

irrationally rational answer

Sparty who is willing to acknowledge his own obsession with his school's rival goes beyond his desire for his team's success. Waver? Really? I might wave at you to get your attention, but my attention never waves, like the tide coming in or out. It could waiver depending on circumstances, but being part of the Dantonio wave means never having to say your sorry he came from the staff of Michigan's primary rival, no matter whether you wave or never waive your interest in Michigan's future fortunes.
Love it when dumbazzery overrules being front and center in rivalry pride and prejudice.
February 24th, 2016 at 8:08 PM ^
Intriguingly, in trying to deride a Spartan's command of grammar and spelling, you were tremendously incorrect. Not only is "waver" correct, but "waiver" isn't even a verb.
And the cherry on top - the use of "your" instead of "you're". Delicious! The only thing more fantastic than your intelligence (or lack thereof) is your serene confidence in your intellectual superiority. The Michigan Difference, I suppose.

That appears to be a noun, Jim.

are "little brothers" to some extent. I guess tosu being obsessed with us is par for the course.
February 24th, 2016 at 7:15 PM ^

At least we don't have a 620 page thread dedicated to them.

If by "voted" you mean ranked by 1 person...well then I guess its voted.
Honestly I can't even think of a close second other than Auburn. A&M used to be but now that they are in diff conferences that goes away. UCLA I guess would be next.
OK State and Oregon State are meh to me - those guys have never won big so don't have much to talk about other than being pests.
