SUE the T-Rex Trolls Michigan State fans
SUE is the famous T-Rex (aka murderbird) at the Field Museum in Chicago, and I thought many of you would enjoy that they spent the day yesterday trolling Michigan State fans on Twitter. Yes, SUE has a Twitter account. There is a regular official Field Museum Twitter account, so SUE's account is used to celebrate dinosaurs, crush on Jeff Goldblum, and start Twitter fights. It's a funny follow.
Anyways, Michigan State's natural history museum asked for people to suggest a name for their new replica of an elephant bird, and apparently tagged SUE. SUE happily suggested Dez in honor of "good pal and mitten state favorite" Desmond Howard. Hilarity ensued, with SUE eventually emploring all followers to vote for Dez:
If you’ve EVER enjoyed a tweet of mine.

If you hope I stick around Twitter forever.
If you love chaos as much as I do, I implore you:
Click on this link, type in “Dez”, and help me name this elephant bird today! https://t.co/iF5Z9sI4BS
Naturally, a few people didn't get the joke and tried to correct them. SUE had fun:
Look, you tagged me to signal boost and I just doing my best.

I even did a little research and googled “best college football player in the state of Michigan” to make it more engaging. BECAUSE I’M A GOOD FRIEND. https://t.co/tqjGqeGWJI
Ah yes. “Chuck” is also a swell name for a large predator bird. https://t.co/UO7mzJH0t7 pic.twitter.com/g8rbsT97qZ

Finally, SUE took to mocking Spartans . . .
RAH! https://t.co/e448fmN0zI pic.twitter.com/e7VGyFtest

. . . and Michigan State
Wait. Are you calling Michigan State a cow college? Because I certainly didn’t. https://t.co/egQytNIqYM

Something fishy is going on between OP ZooWolverine and SUE

Fuck Staee, Mork, Ped St, JoePa loving apologists, O$U, Urban Liar, Alabama, Nick Saban, the entirety of the $EC, and that holier than thou fuckface Dabo Swinney.
Love live SUE, I'll see myself out.

We share these feelings. You had me at Mork.
September 27th, 2019 at 3:39 PM ^
This is actually really funny. Has to be a Michigan guy in charge of the twitter account for Sue, and he or she did a great job. The funniest part are the people who obviously are unfamiliar with trolling, who kept getting increasingly upset at Sue.
Much better than regular Bofa trolling

I am totally not woke to this content.
WTF is this?
September 27th, 2019 at 4:21 PM ^
don't worry .... "woke" isn't a real thing and makes people sound stupid when they say it.

Well, Michigan is Chicago's college football team, so... sounds about right?
September 27th, 2019 at 4:55 PM ^
It could have gone worse for Sparty.
Sue could have suggested the name Nassar.

OP username checks out

Murderbird?

This is funny, but how so many can continually point the finger at MSU and laugh while our football team is a national laughingstock is beyond me.
September 27th, 2019 at 7:03 PM ^
Because Michigan is more than just a football team, and giving MSU fans/alum a hard time is always enjoyable...
September 27th, 2019 at 5:11 PM ^
I have no idea what's going on.
September 27th, 2019 at 7:21 PM ^
Just tried to vote for Dez but they've shut the link down.

Yes this will help us beat them when we play them. Thank you
