First Dantonio complains about Meyer stealing Pittman and now they are upset over OSU not including shifts and motions in tape exchange.

If these teams started hating each other even a fraction of how badly both hate Michigan, it would be great. Both teams and their fans obviously have enough hatred to go around; let them direct some of it toward each other.

Tape the coaches use to prepare is typically shot from the end zone angle and it's a wide shot to see the entire field. It's completely different from what you would see on tv.

Flawed logic...
Flawed logic...
I wouldn't say the record in recent games between two teams determines whether a matchup is turning into a rivalry or not. It's all about the budding history of higher than usual passion exhibited before, during and after the game that's caused by the disdain and hesistant respect the teams have for each other, among other things.
With the logic you're putting forward, does that mean our rivalries with OSU, MSU and ND are becoming less of a rivalry because they've been more one-sided recently? Now I know our rivalries I mentioned are in a whole other class of rivalry than whatever OSU/MSU may be, but the fact of the matter is, IMHO, the record means very little in matters like this.

I see what you did there.
I see what you did there.
Or tried to do there.
Historically, there was never a true rivalry with the Little Brother and the numbers bear this out easily. For example, your rival would win about half the time, would win championships, would compete nationally for championships, would be at your level in the public conciousness.
Now, Sparty has, to their credit, won 4 times in a row, but if you take the long view it's not truly a rivalry (not in the way that Ohio is Michigan's rival). Sparty doesn't win football championshis, is not any sort of national factor, is not at Michigan's level in the public conciousness. It is what it is.
Little brother can have a brief period of success but given recruiting trending with Michigan/Ohio/ND in the midwest, Hoke manball in Michigan and the departure of K. Cousins things will revert sooner than later and the new boss...same as the old one.
Rivarly speaks to some level of equal stature...Sparty will never achieve that.

I dunno. I think the Michigan fan as described by UW exists more in the heads of Sparties looking for a reason to hate, than in real life. Not totally, but more so. No, they're not the same as Ohio, but then, rivalries aren't necessarily defined by that. I don't have any problem saying I want to beat the hell out of them every year; it's not like Sparty is Illinois.

Tape exchanges? WTF?
Tape exchanges? WTF?
What the fuck does Dantonio think is occurring on the field on Saturday afternoons? Tea and crumpets? Seminars on your 401-K? Teamwork retreats where you fall backwards and expect the other people to catch you? Is he expecting that Meyer will tell him ahead of time what plays he's going to run, and that he'll get a reach-around from Urban in the bargain?
That might be one of the most pathetic, ridiculous whines I've ever heard from a losing coach. It's goddamn football, not cooperative kickball at the local Bhuddhist pre-school.
I have more respect for John L. Smith than Dantonio.

It might surprise you, FWIW, that Dantonio wasn't the one complaining... I think the media asked him but he wouldn't comment.
So the whole "losing coach" and "what does he think is happening" might be premature. Sure, he is a strict guy and might complain about things but I think you went off on the wrong guy here.

I just ventured over to RCMB (for some reason known only to the version of me that existed five minutes ago). Honestly, what a bunch of whiny, pathetic assholes. It's not just their coach.
Really nice showing from them today. From the "asshole" chant during GameDay to the "he's a pussy" chant while Miller was injured on the field to possibly fielding a just-concussed player to the coaches turning around right after a loss and complaining about this stuff.
More than anything that ever happens on the field, this is what makes them Sparty.

The problem with the MLive
The problem with the MLive
The problem with the MLive argument is that it ignores that MGoBlog is the most popular forum for discussing Michigan while RCMB is the most popular forum for discussing MSU. It's true that the MLive crowd sucks and the crowd at The Only Colors is better than the RCMB crowd. MLive and RCMB are where the outliers go, though. Your average internet-active Michigan fan is here on MGoBlog. Your average internet-active MSU fan is on the RCMB.
RCMB captures the essence of that fan base.

You are Spartan Jesus?
Are you divine by the Father, or are you a mortal man?
If every fanbase has a Jesus, is this a fusion of the death and resurrection model with multiplicity of universes and periodic creation and recreation, as in the universe and gods flickering in and out of existence hundreds of thousands of times?
Was Nebraska's comeback win over freshman Braxton Miller and Joe Bausermann, their first game against Ohio in conference, the work of a Nebraska Jesus?
Thanks for your insight.
