Stay Classy Michigan State

stay?

I have heard many many Spartan fans say "stay classy Michigan," which is hilariously backward. They cheered when Denard was hurt. Fuck that.

I don't think this really needs its own thread unless more gifs of cheap shit are posted

the post game presser?  Not up at mgoblue yet.  I want to hear Brady's justifications on some of these calls and his reaction to the thuggery.

Wow I don't even know what to say. Like everyone else I am not pissed that we lost but the way Sparty won. Just shit like this should not happen.

MSU fans are actually saying that Lewan deserved to get punched and that the play wasn't that dirty. Of course, they're also saying that Gholston should not be suspended or disciplined. Keep it classy, East Lansing.

My expectations for Spartan intergity were really low to begin with, but I think they've hit rock bottom.

"Will Gholston had a fine day for the Spartans, but he probably shouldn't have been on the field for the fourth quarter. In the third quarter, Gholston was flagged for piling on Denard Robinson well after the play was over, then wrenching Robinson's helmet around for good measure. Later in the quarter, Gholston was being manhandled away from the play by Michigan OL Taylor Lewan, and when Gholston made it to his feet, he summarily punched Lewan in the facemask. Famed referee Mike Pereira said on Twitter that he would have ejected Gholston, and it's entirely possible that MSU or the Big Ten will suspend Gholston next week when Wisconsin comes to town."

They were the better team today, but they brought disgrace onto that school at the same time.

Of the three major personal fouls, this is the one I have the least problems with.  We all know how agressive Lewan can be, and my guess is after watching film this week he'll be in for some extra conditioning drills.  There was no real injury risk with this play.  The facemask twist and body slams are what really piss me off because those could have crippled Robinson for life.

"It was 60 minutes of unnecessary roughness and that what we tried to achieve." Pat Narduzzi on MSU win.



That was some of the most disgusting personal fouls I have ever seen in a game.

Fuck them. that's all. next year, i say we run the score up on them, go for two on every td, and keep the starters in the whole game.

the most classless fans around .. I was at the game with my 7 year old son, and we were walking into the bathroom before the game. There were about 15 spartan students standing by the door .. 2 got in my face and started saying fuck you motherfucker and another one was pointing in my sons face saying "you're growing up a walmart wolverine fucker" ... schools and the ncaa need to clean this crap up

the punch was excessive yes but look at the good defenses they hurt people they are violent thats what michigan should have been playing like.. you should want to hurt people when you hit them. state played that way..

Yeah, but it's like when your little brother punches you in the face.  You don't go and tell your parents.  You get even.  I think we forgot that last part.

There was really no danger for Lewan in that situation.  I am sure that Lewan can get punched like that all day and just be pissed off but what Gholsten did against Denard was an attempt to end a players career.  That kind of play is unacceptable in my mind. 

Michigan didnt play well enough to win today. We didn't lose because of all the personal fouls either. Yes Michigan state was very unclassy. So let's be classy by not talking about what horrible sportsmanship they have. The games over, we'll get em. Karmas a bitch.

Sparty has always played this way against us.  The difference is that, in the past, we were always able to make them pay for their stupidity.

level today. And some posters don't seem to understand, nobody is saying the loss was due to the behavior of MSU or is pissed about it because UM lost. People are pissed becaused it was completely ridiculous and ultimately resulted in an injury to Denard, which some people seem to be ignoring.

Oh come on guys-it's football-it's a dirty game-always has been-always will be. If you watch the whole thing the state player was having his head pushed into the ground. Bottom line MSU kicked your butts-they have more experience more talent today. Their D played very well- whining about lack of handshakes at the end of game-taunting is weak. How soon people forget about the fab five dancing at mid court after kicking some serious a** at MSU . How about Michigan sticking roses in their mouths and dancing around at Spartan stadium and not shaking hands.
It's a game- a game that today showed MSU is a tougher team.

He had better sit next week. That's the rule right? Besides the wwe flying splashes five seconds after the play was dead gholston really didn't do much. Oh and the punch to the face.

Because Michigan doesn't do this..

was the only thing that occured. Nobody claimed that Michigan players have never done something similar, but I don't recall a game where I saw Michigan rack up 6 or so personal fouls.

wait until the Big Ten office gets the film.

MSU is going down next week anyway.

Not saying its not a dirty play but I guess everyone failed to realize that before that, Lewan was holding gholstons facemask and patting him on the back.  Not saying it deserved a punch but don't give Taylor Lewan, who has a history of personal fouls himself from last year, off the hook.

The problem with Sparty people is that, although they despair their trashy reputation, they repeatedly validate it. And wait till the sofas start burning.

.....that the MGoCommunity is a classy joint, and that our team is a classy team with a QB whose smile eradicates world hunger. MSU has a QB whose smile underscores the need to master personal pronouns when you're going to trash talk. 

VG showed a complete lack of character in this game.  Football or any sport should be based on good sportsmanship.  If a player doesn't exhibit this, you have to wonder whether the player's coaches emphasize this.  Given the fact that Dantonio has mentored under a known sleaze-ball like Jim Tressel, the answer is now obvious.  Coach Dantonio should be disciplined by the Big Ten for his weenie-like lack of willingness to take VG out of the game like he should have.  I'm disgusted that a program of poor moral leadership like MSU is a member of our conference. 

This is funny show the play in its entirety, stupid to throw the punch but was not unprovoked. As far as the personal fouls? Well I thought 2 of them were gifts to us, the face mask twist not cool but some of these posts are wayyyuyu out of line. USAF at the 50 yard line U of fans and MSU fans alike, there was nothing unsportsmanlike goIng on through the entire game, I tailgates with both sides, the fans didn't cheer whe Denard was hurt that is a total lie, the state fans including the student section. ChJeered when all of the U of M players came off the field. The Spartan band played Hail to the Victors yada yada yada this blog today is totter out of line. Every stadium including our own has a handful of morons but this was sims not this way at MSU today and they payed well. We eve got the benefit of a couple of calls I don't think should have been made.

The punch wasn't what bugged me - it was the numerous roughing the passer and late hit penalties. Gholston is a punk but Lewan can take care of himself. Taking head shots at a down QB is uncalled for.

Hey guys. As some of you know, I'm a current senior trumpet in the MMB. I'd like to share with you some of my experiences at the game today, as most of you probably don't know just how classless MSU was. We were seated right in front of the MSU Baseball Team that was honored at the game. During the first quarter, some MMB members were complaining of being "spit" on by these people. Eventually, somebody came down and told them "Don't do it anymore, we have cameras on you". This only stopped them briefly. To have random fans doing this is one thing, but the god damn baseball team doing this was as classless as you can get. After the game was over, the MSU players received the Paul Bunyan trophy. Instead of going to, you know, they're fucking student section, they ran the trophy over to US. As the trophy was literally 4 inches from my face, an MSU football player pointed at me, mouthed "fuck you" and flipped me off. This was accompanied by numerous other insults revolving around "4 years" and other nonsense. Also, the MMB was absolutely swallowed up by the trash tornado during postgame. I actually had to peel garbage off of me while playing multiple times. Obviously the wind had a lot to do with this, but is it really that hard to find a trash can? (Insert Michigan State stadium joke here). Absolute classlessness. I would be absolutely ashamed if our team did something like this to opposing fans.

Question request for Monday Press Conference:

Brady,

Upon reviewing the film how do you feel about some of the hits and penalties during the game?  If so, what are the potential actions and procedures in reporting them?

I saw the team go over to you guys (the band) and saw numerous players flip you off and taunt you. From the 35th row I kind not read their lips but that is terrible. It is one thing to do it to your opponent, but to do it to the band is horendous.

Sums up the teams pretty well: MSU's cheap shots, Denard helping up MSU's players and patting them on the back.

I'm suprised you said "classy'' and "Michigan St." in the same sentence.

"C'mon, I just wanna see ONE chop block!  Take out Lewan's fucking legs!" -- random State fan during the 4th quarter.

Someone needed to give that turd the business.

Oh mann... I got kicked in the back, punched in the face, and the police threatened to take ME to jail because  I was creating a disturbance.

And that was their fans, the players played about the same way.  Cheap shots, late hits, a taunting that should have seen a TD come back, it was terrible.

I guess it is summed up by one MSU fan next to me in the student section yesterday:  she was wearing a green and white hat that said "Play Dirty." and that's it.

Look in the mirror.  Last October Lewan was bragging about what a cheap shot artist he is:

http://www.annarbor.com/sports/um-football/taylor-lewan-story/

Not that Lewan is above landing a cheap shot against his friendly rival.

“I am the cheap shot,” he said. (Lewan)

He smiles. “I’m blatant about it.”

“My job is to piss people off,” he said. (Lewan)

It’s an approach that sometimes invites trouble. Against Iowa two weeks ago, officials flagged Lewan for two false starts and a personal foul - all in the first half - before Rodriguez benched him.

Its cute when its your own.  Not all Michigan men are the model of sportsmanship you delude yourself into thinking.  Looks like Lewan did what he bragged about and Ghoulston took a stupid penalty.
