Would have chewed right through it. Probably done by a drunk spartan that bought the wrong colors of spray paint.
April 16th, 2015 at 10:56 AM ^
Or one that misapplied their recent studies in color theory as part of their advanced Sparty curriculum.
"BLUE PLUS YELLOW EQUALS GREEN! DO PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THIS???"
Couldn't have been WD. They didn't use Nike's shade of Maize.

My first reaction was - "boy, I hope that's water based paint".

This is part of the college culture. If they cut his head off, sure, that's not cool. If they left hateful speech, sure, that's not cool. But all it's gonna take is a few hours work and some Graffiti Gone and it'll be fine. Go yell at some jaywalkers, grandpas.
EDIT: Meant for the 2 posts above yours, not your post. I'd hope it is fairly easy to remove as well.

I understand the college prank stuff and I'm cool with it. My point, which is not clear from my post, is that this makes us look like sparty from when we were beating their ass on a consisntent basis.
At the end of the day, not a big deal. Now get the hell off of my lawn.....s/
Which I believe was done this past fall?
Eh - what comes around goes around ... hope the kids had fun with it.
April 16th, 2015 at 10:44 AM ^
goes further back. They did it in 1979. I'm not if they did that prior to then.
April 16th, 2015 at 10:45 AM ^
April 16th, 2015 at 11:15 AM ^
could have done something else to focus on beating them? such as? paint something else?
April 16th, 2015 at 11:25 AM ^
The comment I responded to said "let's just work on beating them." I am not sure what we, as fans, can do to work on beating them. Did my sarcasm go undetected?

Since Bo arrived at Michigan, Sparty's main modus operandi is to do whatever they can so that Michigan pays attention to them. They have been screaming to have Michigan take them as seriously as they take OSU. They vandalize the cars of Michigan fans who go to EL for the game. They troll every Michigan article on the internet. They can't even celebrate their own success without an inflammatory reference to "scUM."
It looks like they are finally getting some Michigan fans to pay attention and take them seriously. While I don't advocate rolling in the mud with a pig, this still looks like a case of "careful what you ask for..."

It's college kids having fun - this is not DB skywriting.
April 16th, 2015 at 11:46 AM ^
What? The only people who can "work on beating them" are players and coaches. It would stun me if this was done by players, and I will eat six lemons if it was done by coaches.
Students can do pranks. Pranks are fun. This is fun.
April 16th, 2015 at 11:46 AM ^
there's no need for that type of shit. Zero. Zilch. I hope whoever did it gets caught and figures out that it was not the smart thing to do. Rivalry is one thing, spirit is one thing, but causing damage and forcing someone else to spend money to fix whatever you did is another.
Just....dumb.
April 16th, 2015 at 10:20 AM ^
quick around here. I was just about to post this.
Timing seems odd though. No football or basketball going on.
April 16th, 2015 at 10:22 AM ^
April 16th, 2015 at 10:26 AM ^
of rabid and drunken softball fans did this then? Does such a person even exist?
April 16th, 2015 at 10:29 AM ^
My best friend and I were just that while we lived in Ann Arbor. Not many better things to do on a late spring afternoon than take in a ballgame and drink from a flask.
April 16th, 2015 at 11:48 AM ^
You've never played on a corporate SB team...
April 16th, 2015 at 10:27 AM ^
We are whiping out the maize and blue paint for softball domination? God bless the softball team but come on now.
April 16th, 2015 at 10:30 AM ^
This was my first thought too.
April 16th, 2015 at 10:20 AM ^
she has been wanting to do that ever since we moved to Lansing 30 years ago.
April 16th, 2015 at 10:35 AM ^
She didn't want to do it too soon after moving there, or would immediately be suspected. I think 30 years is safe.
April 16th, 2015 at 11:23 AM ^
Thank you. Her Michigan degree helps, but a lot of innate craftiness. We can't even drive by that statue, it makes her too furious. I know I must hate Ohio, and we do with a passion, but when you live among the Sparties it stokes those fires like you woudln't believe.
and you have no idea where or why? Hmmm.
I sleep very soundly. I'm pretty sure nothing happens while I sleep and that none of you people exist except when I see you. I am a lot like a dog.

However, I can see him dressing up the statue with UM apparel.

Whoever it was did a pretty shitty job.
April 16th, 2015 at 10:23 AM ^
Could be Izzo or Dantonio so that they could get the little brothers all riled up. Whoever did it, good job.

I'm guessing a Sparty did this.
April 16th, 2015 at 10:28 AM ^
Done by the coaching staff. They heard the young recruits love UNIFORMZ.
April 16th, 2015 at 10:29 AM ^
and OSU for that matter. But I agree with the article that rivalries are great but vandalism is bad.
April 16th, 2015 at 10:30 AM ^
Better head to the mattresses. It's good to have wars like this every few years. Gets rid of the bad blood.
April 16th, 2015 at 10:30 AM ^
April 16th, 2015 at 10:36 AM ^
Certainly rules out MGoBloggers, doesn't it?
April 16th, 2015 at 10:41 AM ^
we'd spend 2 hours arguing about the correct shade of maize to use
