I don't normally feed the trolls. Making an exception here.

If you, like me, had walked from the stadium to your truck after the "punt" at the end of the M/MSU game you'd know exactly why their fans are referred to by the fanbase as "little brother". It has nothing to do with game results. That night, and many others, they earned that title. 

If you can't understand that then it is you who is clearly "tone deaf" in the fanbase. Bottom line.

That awful color scheme & such needs "STATE" included.  It is insulting to Michigan to not include the "STATE" disclaimer.

Anything that feeds MSU's hate is OK with me, because it shows how petty and insecure huge segments of that fanbase can be.  Howevah, we all realize this is just some dumbass stoner working in the "design" section of an off-brand t-shirt printer, right? 

Now if Nike had done this, or if someone at MSU licensing did this, it would be a brilliant failure to be "acurate" in naming the B1G Champion.  But that's not what we have here.

Nothing is more annoying than an article on the internet that mentions something else on the internet and DOESN'T INCLUDE A LINK TO IT. I would like to read the Facebook comments.

I know some people are saying it's tired, but the supply of material for pointing it out never ends. Just Wednesday I saw an article in one of the Detroit papers, can't remember if it was the Rexrode tool or the Couch douche, with the headline along the lines of, "Analysts Once Again Give Spartans Underdog Status They Crave". Jesus Christ. "Crave"? Alabama is the better looking team on paper and by resume, fucking deal with it. Not everything is a deliberate slight.

I want Cook to turn the ball over 4 times in his last game, sparty to lose by 50 ...& Mike Dantoni to get beaned in his melon with a throwaway pass, late in the game.

The truth of the matter is stuff like this happens to everyone, but because it's Sparty it's news worthy. Which is hilarious in itself.

as though we make a bigger deal out of this crap than they do?  Maybe "we" should launch a counter attack comprised of 3 weeks of adulation and praise towards our in-state nemesis and reap the karmic bounty.

I was wearing a jacket with medium sized block M (clean and simple), sitting in a Panera for lunch one day, minding my own business.  There's 100 people in there, its busy... lunchtime. I'm checking my phone, working, blasting email ~ again, minding my own business. I'm sure there's a few dudes with either block M or sTaEE swag on, but nobody's paying attention, its a normal day.  Nobody is making trouble. I'm in my normal "work zone" mindset ~ trying to hurry to eat & get back to the office.  I got a million things to do & problems to solve for clients. 

I get ready to leave, bus my own table (you do that at Panera) as I turn, some overweight, late-50 year old lady patron who's also leaving ~ walks right up to me and gets in my grill and says "how did you like that State game?" with a sh|t eatin' grin on her face... I was a bit taken aback... ~ a total stranger accosts me out of the blue.  She cackles and says "guess you know who I root for".  She turns and waddles away. 

I hope that no M fan ever acts like that ~ that's why we will always be better than them. 

BTW - I said nothing in return.

That's respect. 

P.S. - Although, in my mind's eye - I saw Lloyd Carr's face on a t-shirt saying "Stay Classy"...
