Undergrad Library SLAMS Sparty
We should've seen the vandalization of the Diag M coming. Last night some State students came in and asked our librarians how to spell 'MSU'

Glad you think you needed to create a separate topic about this
October 22nd, 2014 at 10:53 AM ^
UGLI burn.
October 22nd, 2014 at 11:01 AM ^
Really wasn't all that insulting...
October 22nd, 2014 at 11:04 AM ^
Why did we give them the correct answer?????????
October 22nd, 2014 at 11:19 AM ^
They told them "UMS" but they messed it up
October 22nd, 2014 at 11:32 AM ^
Sad but true.
October 22nd, 2014 at 11:04 AM ^
I'm sure there are some very smart people who go/went there.
I haven't met any yet, but I'm only 43. I'll keep looking.

Reminds me of the sign during the bball game at Crisler last year that said, "This sign also got into Michigan, but CHOSE to go to Michigan State."
Haaaaa

It appears to be a parody account..
@mikeproppe: @AceAnbender ha, it's a parody account (but an amazing one. worth the follow)

I mean, one look at the page... But if you've ever been to the UGLI, it's on point.
October 22nd, 2014 at 1:54 PM ^
I worked myself into a bit of a panic hoping that this wasn's a poetry slam...
October 22nd, 2014 at 11:05 AM ^
This is going on Dantonio's bulletin board as we speak! Still upvoted!
October 22nd, 2014 at 11:12 AM ^
will the tweet be spelled correctly on the bulletin board?
October 22nd, 2014 at 11:06 AM ^
COME ON AND SLAM
October 22nd, 2014 at 12:25 PM ^
and welcome to the jam.
October 22nd, 2014 at 11:10 AM ^
Moo U
October 22nd, 2014 at 11:28 AM ^
OH, I GET IT.
SPARTY CANT SPELL. ROFL
/s
Really? This is the best we can do?
October 22nd, 2014 at 11:39 AM ^
What's your contribution?
October 22nd, 2014 at 11:54 AM ^
My contribution is encouraging others to step outside the box for wittier slams.
Im no Daniel Tosh, however, this "slam" just seems a bit tired.
October 22nd, 2014 at 1:42 PM ^
What, exactly?
October 22nd, 2014 at 1:56 PM ^
that other's jokes should be "better" and more "outside the box". What else do you want from him. He's giving all the empty coorporate lingo he can provide. Ok, ok, he probably also encourages "synergy" in coming up with a better rebuttle.
October 22nd, 2014 at 1:59 PM ^
lets all get on the same page.
October 22nd, 2014 at 2:01 PM ^
I'll run it up the flag pole with him and then we can all circle back with the go-forward plan.
October 22nd, 2014 at 2:16 PM ^
we'll get the buy-in we need unless we're empowered at the lower levels. Its best we leverage our experience and not make the sausage in front of the customer.
October 22nd, 2014 at 2:50 PM ^
Let's strategize on the gap analysis before we socialize it with him. We don't want to be caught over a barrel.
October 22nd, 2014 at 2:15 PM ^
Need to be more proactive. We've got a lot of wood to chop.
October 22nd, 2014 at 2:21 PM ^
I fear we're boiling the ocean here.
October 22nd, 2014 at 12:01 PM ^
And thank God we still have the academic trump card, because our beloved football team is not very good.
October 22nd, 2014 at 11:36 AM ^
Slight departure from my old riddle:
How far did the MSU students have to go to get to UM?
scroll down not very far
Answer: About 1 and a half standard deviations.
October 22nd, 2014 at 11:57 AM ^
+1 for the not a rapper gif.

WD, I like you. But you don't go to either UM or MSU. Is it really appropriate to comment on jokes about either institution's academic prowess?
That part of fandom always weirds me out.
October 22nd, 2014 at 12:04 PM ^
It's a rivalry thing. I have a couple Sparty friends and we poke fun at each other all the time. Obviously none of us really, really mean it. It's just fun. Hell, my mother dearest is a Buckeye and I still crack Bucknut jokes around her.
October 22nd, 2014 at 12:05 PM ^
Damn, those Harvard fans must have a lot of fun.
October 22nd, 2014 at 5:48 PM ^
He's saying that if Michigan fans who didn't go to Michigan are "allowed" to broadcast Michigan's academic superiority, then Harvard fans who didn't go to Harvard (if such a thing exists) must have good times (assuming your idea of a good time is broadcasting a given school's academic superiority).
October 23rd, 2014 at 1:05 AM ^
OK. If only UM guys can talk Sparty's-stupid shit, then Harvard guys must be limited to talking only Yale shit. Yet in this post you imply that the Harvard scope extends to all schools. So can a Harvard grad blast Sparty?
Damn, these elitist douchebag rules are not for the Sparty-educated.
October 22nd, 2014 at 12:26 PM ^
This is one of the major sources of the "Walmart Wolverine" cracks. People who talk about an academic difference but didn't actually go to Michigan.
October 22nd, 2014 at 12:55 PM ^
But when it comes to the academic trash talk, it's a bit more geniune when it comes from students/alumni of the schools. But I do love the fandom for the teams.
October 22nd, 2014 at 6:11 PM ^
Do you think that matters to them at all? I have never insulted a student or alumni of Michigan State based on where they have obtained their education. that never stops them from calling me a Walmart Wolverine when they find out I haven't attended the University of Michigan.
I'm sure they would be tickled pink, and give me high fives if I walked around in sparty gear. It wouldn't matter to them at all if I have never set foot in East Lansing. I could probably even start calling Michigan fan's Walmart Wolverines.
October 22nd, 2014 at 9:30 PM ^
I even qualified the statement by saying "one of" instead of "the only possible explanation that applies to every person and their specific anecdote."
October 22nd, 2014 at 1:14 PM ^
I'm posting a tweet, not making the jokes.
October 22nd, 2014 at 3:40 PM ^
In a thread a few weeks ago you referred to them as "Lansing C.C. Burnin' Futons" or something of that nature.
October 22nd, 2014 at 4:43 PM ^
Play on Brian calling Ohio State the "Akron State Golden Bobcats".
Some people on here take themselves way too seriously. It's sports.
October 23rd, 2014 at 10:48 AM ^
or Brian has earned that right, and you haven't?
just one theory buddy.

October 22nd, 2014 at 2:38 PM ^
the thought of someone who couldn't get into either UofM or MSU talking trash about academics is the only thing that brings out the elitist in me these days:
if you didn't go here, don't talk shit about the academics.
