Sparty Schadenfreude
After the fluke dropped punt loss to Sparty, all their close wins, and all their boasting about the lucky win, yesterday provided sweet karmic justice. Their reaction to the loss (Plaxico, Jamele Hill) is just further evidence of their little bro status and mentality.
With Harbaugh just starting to create his monster in Ann Arbor, and Urbz being Urbz in C-Bus, writing is on the wall for Sparty, especially with Cook leaving this year. Back to mediocrity and even more national irrelevance in the coming years.
I could not scour through enough RCMB last night, as the schadenfreude of not only their loss, but the way in which they lost (and attempts to distinguish it from their fluke win in Ann Arbor) made the tears that much more delicious.
Please share your favorite Sparty schadenfreude memes, posts, twitters, etc here below. I simply can not get enough, and I doubt TWIS will have all of the good stuff, as there is just too much right now.

And just as a MGoBlog PSA, their other famous adventures in spelling include this nice "acurate" sign in one of their football buildings:

A few years back some Spartan Brahs spray painted a vehicle while in AA. Let's just say they weren't spelling majors.

A love poem for Jemele Hill:
Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
Karma's a bitch.
And so are you.
November 8th, 2015 at 4:41 PM ^
I finally watched it. I suggest any UM fan who thinks we shouldn't take a little joy in Sparty being Sparty to watch as well.

LOL. I'm 80-90% over the MSU game. But I guarantee Harbaugh isn't. After being a genius coach and motivator, great eye for talent, and apparently top notch recruiter, my favorite thing about Harbaugh is he has petty, mean streak to rival anyone I've ever known.
November 8th, 2015 at 5:04 PM ^
I had never heard of her until the Twitter fight with Rich Eisen.
So I watched the video. OK, so cool, have your little rant. It's all fun.
But don't think for one second that when you go down this path we are not going to shove Sparty Schadenfeude so far up your ass when we get a chance that you won't need a colonoscopy until you are eighty.
If anybody is just asking to be bitch-slapped by Karma when the tables are inevitably turned, it's this loudmouth.
November 8th, 2015 at 5:18 PM ^
I have seen His & Her or whatever that show is. I did not even know she was MSU alum until recently. I did not watch this video until now. I have to say I was laughing. I don't think I would have felt that way couple of weeks back. But after that MSU loss yesterday, I am totally with the crowd that wants to post all kinds of stuff about MSU. F*** them. She can kiss my a**. Next year, we are gonna beat their a** in EL like how a big brother beats down on a little brother.
November 8th, 2015 at 5:12 PM ^
I have a better poem for Jemele:
Roses are red
Fuck you
Fuck you
and fuck you
November 8th, 2015 at 5:26 PM ^
Fantastic poem! I'd like to add a haiku to the group:
Dear Jemele Hill
Shut your goddamn whore mouth you
Stupid fucking bitch

But your first line only has 4 syllables.
Should be 5-7-5.
Change "Dear" to "Dearest" perhaps?
Excellent message though.
November 8th, 2015 at 10:16 PM ^
Thanks for the heads up. Honestly, I never even knew who she was until her ignorant rant after the game and thought her name was three syllables, like gem-uh-lee. I tend to avoid the MTV-like produced ESPN unless there's a live game being aired.

Somebody should tweet that to her. I'm sure she'll appreciate the good natured ribbing from a friendly rival. She seems fun.

Everyone thinking Cook leaving implies shitty quarterback play for them needs to check themselves. They've produced 3 good QBs in a row (Hoyer, Cousins, Cook) none of which were highly recruited. That's coaching. Add in Nick Foles as a half of a QB produced.
Also, wouldn't it be better to beat them every year when they're good? I don't want our best years to misalign with theirs. I want to beat them consistently when they're having the best years of their program's history.
November 8th, 2015 at 4:54 PM ^
Nick Foles went to Arizona State I thought...

November 8th, 2015 at 5:06 PM ^
It was actually Arizona, but he started his college career at State before transferring. He redshirted that one year, and I think left because cousins was a fellow freshmen, if my memory serves me right.
November 8th, 2015 at 5:07 PM ^
Wow. Something I never knew

I would agree. It's not significant if you beat them when they're basically dead already. I'd rather they have their hearts ripped out while thinking they have everything to lose.

Beating MSU shouldn't be significant.

Everyone is probably correct in assuming worse QB play from MSU next year. Cook is pretty damn good as a 3rd year starter maybe the best they have had under Dantonio, and even a phenom isn't going to be as good as a first year starter.
November 8th, 2015 at 5:03 PM ^
Cook is a 1st round NFL draft pick. Yeah, I don't think anyone's out of line for expecting a pretty significant drop in QB play (hell Cook wasn't anything special his first year as the starter)
November 8th, 2015 at 5:07 PM ^
So you think Terry is going to light the world on fire? Their defense has been their calling card, which has allowed their QB and RB time to get acclimated to their system. Now, it looks like the D and the O will be going through growing pains at the same time which suits me just fine. Besides, UM football went through it's roughest patch ever, do you think sparty gave a damn if we were at our best?
November 8th, 2015 at 7:49 PM ^
I think, but I've seen him throw a bit too. Not bad, but not Cook. Very few QBs in the country can do what he did in AA, even as seniors.
November 8th, 2015 at 5:20 PM ^
Their best years happen when Michigan is not good.

November 8th, 2015 at 6:22 PM ^
You forgot Andrew Maxwell, their comically bad QB in 2012 and part of '13. And Hoyer and Cousins, while fine players, we're not gunslingers like Cook. He's on a different level from those guys.
Finally, it's nuts to want MSU to be good. We already have a brutal, winner-take-all rivalry with OSU. We don't need another.
November 8th, 2015 at 4:53 PM ^
MSU will take a step back next season, probably 7-8 wins. But they will be good after that. Dantonio has recruited well. I don't expect them to go anywhere. That being said, I was happy to see their luck run out finally.

November 8th, 2015 at 5:06 PM ^
they will not have another Connor Cook for a while and they lost one of the best DCs in college football. Also, getting kids to come to EL was a lot easier when we had RR & Hoke.
November 8th, 2015 at 4:55 PM ^

November 8th, 2015 at 5:02 PM ^
I don't think MSU really goes anywhere as long as Dantonio is around. I see them definitely taking a step back next year with having to replace Cook, a good chunk of their OL, Calhoun, Burbridge, and I think another couple guys as well, but Dantonio probably gets the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise.
I'd say 7-8 wins next year, but he's probably good for anywhere between 8-11 wins a season until he's gone.

November 8th, 2015 at 5:21 PM ^
As far as I'm concerned, Dantonio still has plenty to prove. Not to downplay what he's accomplished, but he only won 1 outright conference championship in his 8 years there, despite the significant advantages given to him that are in the process of being taken away.
November 8th, 2015 at 5:14 PM ^
If you want the Spartans to return to mediocrity you need to stop posting about them. If this happened in 2005 instead of 2015, you would laugh and move on. Irrelevance only comes from us not considering them relevant.

Just give us a few years. We will get there. It will get boring and we will move on. It has been a long time since we had something to laugh about especially wrt MSU. Give it a few years and we will be back to our arrogant-self.
November 8th, 2015 at 5:27 PM ^
I can't fathom how you think posting on a message board affects the quality of the football program. MSU will return to mediocrity when they start to lose games...

November 8th, 2015 at 6:49 PM ^
Whether or not they return to irrelevance is completely independent of how we act. We can ignore them all we want but if they keep winning 12 games a season, they're still relevant. Irrelevance will only happen when Harbaugh beats Dantonio so many times he forces him to retire and Sparty goes back to winning 6 games a season.
November 8th, 2015 at 6:20 PM ^
They beat us, and it wasn't any more a fluke than a last minute interception would have been a fluke. Their end-of-game defense put them in a position to have a last shot at winning, and they took advantage of our team's football error.
Hey, I'm glad they lost, because it gives us a shot at the division, but let's not get carried away with predictions about the future.
They're good, they'll be good for a while until Dantonio retires or leaves, and we need to be great to consistently beat them. So far, that hasn't happened.
November 8th, 2015 at 6:40 PM ^
Making an interception isn't comparable to end of this year's game. Unless the interception is equally unlikely. To have a punter drop a damn near perfect snap, freak out, then try to roundhouse the ball, then the ball deflects off of his foot and lands perfectly in the hands of an msu player in a look what I found manner? Comparing that to an interception, considering the rate that interceptions occur, is wild.
November 8th, 2015 at 9:01 PM ^
Damn near perfect snap?!? It was horrendously low! The long snapper's responsible for the drop... Blake's crime was not falling on it afterwards...
November 8th, 2015 at 9:22 PM ^
Horrendously low? Since when is a waist-high snap horrendously low? It wasn't perfect, but it wasn't that low
November 8th, 2015 at 6:44 PM ^
That play had a statistical probability of less than 1% of happening, are you really going to equate those odds with an interception?
