Sparty Hate Thread Day One
So, MSU used to be #3 in the holy trinity of rivals. Given recent events and the behavior of many friends and family who are Sparty fans, and MSU is very close to Ohio State in how much I hate their program. The week has barely begun and too many Spartan friends are flooding social media, mocking Harbaugh and Michigan fans thinking they're "back." I mostly keep to myself and always try to stay classy and respectful, but here's hoping Saturday is the beginning of the end for that program and their whining coach. It was way more fun when they had legitimate reasons to feel inferior, but it is so predictable that the fans who were classless in losing are also sore winners who have to measure everything through the Michigan lens.

I am 43 years old. Michigan has dominated Sparty most of my life. The past 7 years of Sparty doing well against Michigan isnt enough to make me hate Sparty. I pity Sparty.
I despise Notre Dame, but rarely lose sleep when we fall to them.
I RAGING BLOOD-HATE OHIO STATE! I honestly lack the necessary vocabulary to adequately describe how much I hate Ohio State. The hate is real, bottomless and unrelenting.

I don't hate MSU, but I'm not very fond of Dantonio. Yes, he is a very good coach, but he is also a crybaby douchebag.
October 13th, 2015 at 7:34 AM ^
...where was that suggestion on the "Gameday signs" thread? It's simple, yet perfect.
October 12th, 2015 at 8:18 PM ^
I hate them very deeply. We need this win bad.
October 12th, 2015 at 9:39 PM ^
This is about Sparty Hate Day #10,000 for me. I guess it's a generational thing. I became a Michigan fan as a boy in the late '80s, I grew up in Michigan, and State fans have been assholes as long as I can remember. They'll always be Rival #2 to me, not ND or anyone else.

I lived in lansing for one year, but it only took one WEEK to get my fill of sparty bullshit. I will never forget a few years ago when they beat us in AA by two TDs...those bastards walking N on Main Street toward town, chanting their "Go Green" "Go White" all the way. Every time they yelled "Go Green" - I responded "Go HOME" at the top of my lungs. I hate those assholes... they're getting exactly what they deserve on Saturday.
October 13th, 2015 at 10:23 AM ^
Haha, I've always yelled GO HOME when they yell puke green, or go green, whatever it is... I guess I should make it PUKE GREEN, GO HOME

When the Coach is building in the excuse before the game. Even if he didn't think about it when he said it he thinks he is going to lose.
October 12th, 2015 at 8:35 PM ^
Of course you care. Of course you hat Sparty. Unless you're lucky enough to live somewhere with no Spartans, of course you want to win and rub their noses in it for all the crap you've gotten in the last 7 years (when history started according to Spartans).
You hate Dantonio and his whiny, obsessive, and goddam effective Michigan obsession. You hate "60 minutes of unnecessary roughness". You hate the invasion of the Juggalos. You hate couch burning and "first down bitch".
You want to beat Sparty, bad. Of course you do. It burns you up how Little Brother has been tearing things up in our down years.
This isn't just a game, and you know it. You know it because you're a Michigan fan. You'd trade a loss against any team on the schedule but one for a win against Sparty. They are the instate rival, they've earned that. But we will make them pay dearly for it.

we needn't bother to reciprocate.
I like Coach Jim Harbaugh's take:
Treat em like another challenge
On the way to bigger things.

There once was a man from East Lansing
Who burned couches when Sparty went dancing
With a voice filled with hate
Said "The Spartans are great!
But why does Michigan keep on advancing?"

Then at the post-game presser, say "Well, they really put a stake in us last year, so we felt we needed to come back from the dead and suck all the blood out of them...and I think we did that today"

I hate Sparty because (a) Dantonio is a classless jerk who finds any excuse to stick it to Michigan and have his feelings hurt, (b) they intentionally try to injure our players (be ready for this on Saturday. I'd give 3/2 odds Sparty does some nasty things out there), (c) they exist, which gives Ohio State an edge beacuse Ohio State doesn't have a little brother in Ohio rubbing up against it each year who's fixated on beating it and battles it for in-state recruits.
I want this win equally as much as the Ohio State win this year.
October 12th, 2015 at 11:13 PM ^
Michigan doesn't like to acknowledge little bro as a rival, one of the fun ways we needle them. But right now, its a feud, and I'd argue the best in sports right now. I think no two fanbases hate each other more right now.
Heres one of my all time favorite sports articles that elaborates:

but their fanbase is nowhere near as annoying as OSU's.
October 13th, 2015 at 7:45 AM ^
the infamous "Sparty NOOOOOOOOOO" this weekend. I've missed this so much.
October 13th, 2015 at 9:01 AM ^
I thought they were rival but not like ND or MSU. MD is who I really hate. He is the embodiment of everything little brother and he has used that to infect that entire fanbase. There have always been State fans who loathe UM but now the vitriol they spew is unbearable.
October 13th, 2015 at 11:02 AM ^
Until a couple years agoI didn't hate Sparty. I hate all opponents on game day and generally dislike ND. OSU is a huge rivalry but the hatred was limited to losing to them. I genuinely hate Sparty now, or at least his fans.
Grad School gala a few years ago: Michigan is playing Syracuse in a monster BBall game. Everyone is having a great time drinking and dancing and celebrating one final time before exams, except the Michigan fans huddled around the TV hoping to get to the championship game...and the Sparty fans watching the game to cheer against us. Not the team, the fans in the room. That was my moment of clarity. Sparty fans are not happy unless we are not.
Fuck em'
Sparty sucks. His fans suck. His school sucks. Lose sore, win sore, inferiority complex havin', barbarians. I used to feel a little embarassed by my smug dismissiveness. I miss it now, I just have hatred in my heart. Is it a coincidence that when choosing a mascot MSU chose arguably the most slave dependent society in world history rather than...I dunno, Trojans? No. It isn't. Sparty is the worst.
I hate having to live among them and listening to them whine and gloat at the same time. I hate their tacky giant S's and Horsehair Helmet Stickers on their trucks right above their tail-hitch nuts. I hate packaging majors and the Turf-and-Grass department. I hate that every one of them claims he or she got into both schools. I hate Izzo. I hate Mike D.
I can't wait for Saturday and the next five + years. Some healthy beatings will put them in their place and hopefully return me to smug dismissiveness, where I should be.

My packaging major dis appeared to be the most vicious part of my work. I think they really appreciate my writing, so I guess my English major WAS good for something.
Other highlights:
- re Mike D - "So tell me who are you dissin'? Maybe I'm missin'"
- re Slave Dependent - No, it's not a coincidence; it's because "State" and "Spartan" both start with the letter "S". That's right, "S", as in, "Suck my balls, walvie, you're going to get your shit pushed in."
- re my crappy username - "How the hell does one pronounce "blueeee"?"
- "Too many words to declare his butt hurt."
FWIW, I've kept my hatred and MSU commentary confined to the board. Can't go public until we win, and then, really, it's better to just bask in the victory quietly...and smugly

As others have said six of the last seven don't make a rivalry. Rivalries are built over long periods of time between comparable programs. MSU despite their winning record against Michigan in the 50s and 60s is not a comparable program.
However, after his sixty minutes of unnecessary violence and rewarding his players for openly dirty play, I find that I have a deep dislike for Dantonio. He clearly has developed the MSU program so that it regularly wins a much higher percentage of its games than in the seasons before him, but I can't consider him to be a "good coach" or a good man.
I don't know of we'll win Saturday. I'm confident that win or lose Michigan will demonstrate that the period of MSU's presumption of superiority has ended.
I happened to watch Dantonio's presser from yesterday. Similarly to Harbaugh, he downplayed the importance of Saturday's game compared to the other games MSU has and will play. It wasn't "just the next game" but it wasn't an important win either. He also did not play the disrespect card. Very different that previous years. I very much hope that Harbaugh teaches that jerk a tough tough lesson about coaching football.
Go Blue! Beat those guys and leave no doubt.
