A thread about Sparty Meltodown that didn't go well.

The dude making my coffee this morning was insufferable.

RCMB exsists for a reason.

I commit to downvote all sparty-posts for the next 48 hr

If you're worried about people IRL recognizing you from your former username, why would you tell us it now?

If you want to see epic meltdowns/non stop bitching take NorthSideBlueFans advice and go to the RCMB.

Doesn't your PS defeat the purpose of changing your name? You just alerted everyone who knew you, so they still know you...

They're BITTER today.  Holy shit.  Our fanbase will rage, but I get the impression we are self-critical to a fault.  Are Spartans able to rationalize this?  In other words, have you heard any Sparty wonder why they didn't have a "safe" return called when they were flagged for running into the kicker? 

Let's try to be compassionate - we'd be a little upset today, as well.

It's awesome.  They are losing it.   I avoided Sparty today.  Tommorrow I seek them out.

No offense to the non-alums while I go arrogant here but it must be like the day many of them got their skinny letter which started  "We are sorry to inform you that that your application to the Universty of Michigan has been rejected..."  It brought up that instituional rejection memory they never quite shook from their perky blonde heads (no offense to blondes)

Come on this thread ain't all that bad. 

I kicked three Badgers and a Wolverine on my way into work.

Personally I thought it was bad from both sides. After the BCS selection show, my facebook newsfeed was barraged by some of the stupider Michigan fans I know saying things like "Suck it Sparty!" (completely unneccesary for one, and also stupid because we lost to them this year). And then there were Sparties of course whining incessantly and resorting to the classic "Michigan girls are ugly" and posting that godawful Drew Sharp article in their defense.

To me, it is what it is. MSU was better than us in the head-to-head game and that's all that matters to me. We're going to a better bowl, but I would have much rather have been playing in the B1G championship.

Most of myMSU friends and family have been tolerable. But I have one friend who is now on a crusade to overhaul the BCS (he never seemed to care until this year)



He actually told be "ont attempt to rationalize this" to which I made a snide comment about his IRrational thoughts.

MSU didn't deserve to play in a BCS bowl. They lost three games, and so other teams were ranked ahead of them and they didn't make the top 14. It's not like BCS bowls even had a choice to pick MSU for a BCS and passed them over for Michigan. MSU fans have very little reason at all to be upset that they didn't get a BCS bowl. Yet many of them seem to be.

The real reason they seem to be so upset is that Michigan got one and was undeserving. But Michigan didn't succeed at the expense of MSU in this case. In fact, you can make a case that Michigan going to the BCS actually helped MSU get a better bowl, because Michigan would not be competing with MSU for the Capital One/Outback/Gator bowls. The Spartiest thing to do is to root against your own interest. Plus, Michigan's in a BCS bowl with a very beatable opponent. Anyway, this benefits Sparty in every way except recruiting.

and then i am done with sparties.

Why the whining?? You won the division. You got the honor of playing in the first championship game. Take pride in that.

You had the channce to play in the "grand-daddy of them all"...the Rose Bowl!

Thats a BCS bowl last i looked. 

You blew it. Plain and simple. So after choking at your chance you think the powers that be should swoop in and send you to some OTHER BCS bowl as a reward?? Would you feel the same way had it been the Wolverines in the exact same situation?  Did'nt think so.

You took a stupid penalty that cost you the Rose bowl and now its everyone else's fault that you got left out?

As your QB stated.....the Wolverines were "home sitting on the couch" because we did not earn the right to play in that game. You did. And you LOST.

The bowl system is not fair.      Just like life.      Deal with it.

If MSU would have beaten ND and lost to UM then things would have been reversed.  UM would have been in the B1G title game and MSU would have been home watching from the couch.    If MSU is so upset with the way things turned out tell them to lose to us next year and things will be better!

but we need to stop being obsessed with MSU. I think since they beat us about 1/3 of the board is usually MSU-related

Bowl selection have been this way if we're talking about fairness.

I'd like for Michigan to have played in the B1G Championship Game...atleast lil brotha could have sat on the couch. 

Whiner alert should be employed...

When I saw the Spartan player run into the punter near the end of the game I couldn't believe that Dantonio went for a punt block instead of setting up the return.  After that, all I could think of was one of JL Smith's rants:

"The kids are playing their tails off and the coaches are screwing it up!"

I think it's fair to say that Sparty is butt hurt right now. 

BTW I still don't get why they hate on us for having fans that didn't attend UM? Jealousy I guess...

Is this john ringle? I work at rays

Can we at least drop the "at home sitting on the couch" garbage? Can anyone point out an intact couch in East Lansing after last night? It is physically impossible to sit on a couch in EL after the greatest SPARTY NO moment to date.

little brother understands that even with a win head-to-head, he will never measure up against michigan.  

temper tantrum follows.

U MAD, LIL BRO?

MSU says they got treated unfairly by the BCS.  That couldn’t be further from the truth. 

The usual arguments involve their stupid game-ending penalty this week, their lucky, deflected hail mary overturned-call pass a few weeks ago,  their multiple blowout losses to teams beaten by UM and their failure to even meet the minimal 14^th-or-better rank for a shot at the BCS

MSU’s counterargument asks us to focus just on the UM MSU game.  OK, let’s do that, since it reveals another good reason for NOT giving MSU any special BCS consideration.

Their unsportsmanlike, intentionally injurious acts in that game bordered on overt cheating by coaches and players known for such behavior. 

-Gholston’s two assaults  with intent to injure on UM’s star QB.  (First, Gholston jumped on a pile after a play was over, reached down over 3-4 teammates in order to grab Denard’s facemask.  He then jerked it 180 degrees in a clearly intentional effort to injure the neck of the helpless QB on the bottom of the pile.  Later he punched Lewan in the neck after a play was over.)  Gholston should have been thrown out of the game for either offense, but was allowed to continue “playing.”  Only the next week was Gholston suspended for a game, but that was far too late to compensate Michigan for the injuries.

- in one of half a dozen other personal fouls (and ignoring many others not seen or called), another MSU player once again hit Denard after the whistle.  The assailant from MSU got only a 15 yard penalty.  Denard had to leave the game—the equivalent of a game misconduct penalty for doing nothing. 

So you MSU boosters out there---you tell me about  “fair” treatment.   Also, remember that these assaults were not isolated occurences from one or two players but may have involved direct or indirect approval of the coaches.

--The DC in that game exhorted the team to play “60 minutes of unnecessary roughness” (including time between plays) 

-the HC already had a track record of players who intentionally injured the opposing team’s best players (recall Dantonio’s previous coaching of an OSU player who intentionally and repeatedly hit a Wisc QB in the throat in order to disable him).

-these coachesactively recruited felons and reinstated a dozen or more players involved in a group assault. 

That’s not the kind of team that deserves prime-time TV coverage, which will inspire a new generation of young people. 

So, when the MSU boosters cry about not being treated fairly, it reveals a complete unawareness of their own shameful public image.   Their pathetic whining about fairness also reeks of hypocrisy

I say we whip em in the big house next season!

I'm here for the negbang.

Don't make a shitty thread and then complain when it gets slammed. Mods should keep this thread up as a lesson

Stand up and take your negbang like a man.

Just close your eyes and go to your happy place.  It'll be over soon.

Is a stand up dude when it doesn't come to Michigan. He is like the noble General who knows the consequences of being "The Guy". If he did, cool. If he didn't call it, cool. Doesn't make a difference, we get to top our cereal and anything else you can think of with Sugar and hopefully get to hold that Sugar Bowl on January 3rd. The rest does not matter, I want the Big Ten to do good, and that goes for Sparty. I mean I cant stand the SEC but if the Big Ten went 1-9 and we were the only winners, then I am cool with that cause that means we won. I do not care about anybody else but Team 132. And for the last time, please no responses about how we dont deserve this bowl game, Virginia Tech does not deserve this bowl game. Can I get the resumes for Boise and Kansas State. No way both were getting in but damn man. I mean I havent seen one post (forgive me if Im wrong) about Alabama losing a three point game, not winning their conference, and still getting into the title game. Ohio 42 Michigan 39. Where was that game at? Well we all get screwed their Sparty but maybe its me but honestly you need to leave those weak excuses at home, go win the Outback Bowl and then come back strong next year. I mean I remember Urban Meyer on TV selling Florida like it was his own kid in '06 and then what happened next year. He and his Florida boys got handled in their own back yard by the very team that he snubbed. So please stop the complaining and go out and handle your business. Go Blue! Go Team 132!

P.S. By the way there is no chance the Spartans you walk out of Ann Arbor with a win next year! So you might want to start focusing on the present or Georgia is gonna run up and down the field and put up 43 points on you. LOL! If Georgia scores 24 I will be overly impressed.
