What shirt should I wear when I am in the MSU student section for the Michigan game?

Submitted by greatness on
I'm originally from just outside of East Lansing, and this will be the third year in a row I will get to go to the MSU-UM game, but my first time in the MSU student section. I plan on ordering the MGoStore t-shirt that says "East Lansing is a woman of negotiable affection" and wearing that around during the pregame tailgate with my friends who are MSU students. After that, I don't know what I should wear to the actual game. My options are:

a blue Henne jersey (almost got me in a fight last time I was in the stadium), a blue tressel drinks wine coolers shirt, a maize shirt that says "Woody Hayes punches like a girl" (to show MSU fans I care more about OSU), the Michigan Football student shirt for 2009, the one from 2008, and the one from 2007. I am unsure if I should wear my blue jersey, or if I should wear maize as it will stick out more in MSU's all-white student section. I might be open to buying a new t-shirt to wear, but I definitely not something like those shirts they have for sale in Meijer (couldn't find link sorry) that say BEAT STATE or something to that effect.
HELP ME DECIDE

EDIT: I fully expect to get NATTY LIGHT'D and have stuff thrown at me during the game. I'm alright with that, and was disappointed in the MSU hockey student section at their game against ND last year. That is part of the fun for me, and I don't plan on getting angry regardless of how the game goes. I won't talk any trash to people I don't know, unless it is in good nature, because that just isn't my idea of a good time home or away. GO BLUE

make your own: someone in another thread said something like 'MSU is so inbred that they score with Cousins'. that would be an awesome shirt. on the shirt it should just say "MSU: so inbred that they score with Cousins"

Avoid the 2007 and 2008 student t-shirts at all costs for fear of unnecessary reprisal. However, you can always go with the classic "MSU Sucks" t-shirt with the cow logo, or one I found recently at the Ann Arbor T-Shirt Company website: "If Ann Arbor is such a whore, then why didn't you get in?" Better yet, I saw one at a Campus Den store which read (with flaming couch image included): "It's always a roast in East Lansing."

Suggested TShirts Something from "Meet the Spartans" "A Spartan always Mounts another man from behind." "Plaxico's Cellmate" "Michigan Tate is in Ann Arbor." "Dantonio is a Rest Area Toe Tapper." "Dantonio has a wide stance." "MS Who?" Blue and Yellow Shirt that says "Wait until Hoops Season"

I was thinking anything maize with "little sister" and black and blue to match the knots that will be placed on your head. The OSU thing might be safe, Maize and/or blue and you're at the mercy of what could be rioters looking for someone to pound.

Seems like a d-bag move to wear an insulting shirt in their student section. I know if it were me in any of the rows behind you, you'd be getting pelted with anything I could get my hands on. Also, if I were to wear a little sister shirt and got things thrown at me or surely had deragatory comments thrown my way, I am not one to control my temper. I would get in a fight and get thrown out before kick-off. Reminds me of the idiot at the golf course for the ND game walking around in a bright red OSU shirt. Did his parents not give him enough attention that he has to be the attention seeking whore of a guy? Just smiling smugly at all insults and even when getting hit with a football. Just made me more mad lol...

You always that reactive to other people, letting them pull your strings? Or are you just still in middle school? You've got some anger issues, dude. Might want to see someone about that.

I think knowingly wearing a shirt that will incite such a bad reaction in such a 1 sided crowd (student section) is the middle school behavior. Sorry, I just don't see the point of escalating what will already be a tenuous relationship by wearing a shirt into their student section. At the Big House or even common seating areas at MSU and I don't see a problem, just be prepared for the verbal, and probable physical onslaught you would have to endure for wearing such a shirt. Is it so hard to go and cheer for your own team and not be the attention seeking d-bag wearing inciting shirts in a student section? Sorry, I'd rather enjoy the game with my own fans. edit: "Why let a complete stranger have such total control over your emotions?" I take control by not wearing an inciting shirt in the student section.

and not sitting next to any M fans, make a maize shirt, blue lettering that says on front, "I'm with Little Brother" and an arrow pointing to the left, and another to the right. (a homage to the "I'm with Stupid" shirt)

Wouldn't an I'm with Stupid shirt work just as well? haha But the I'm with little brother would get you some stupid comments regarding little brother, because apparently they don't fully understand the full joke behind that. After last year's loss to them, one of my state friends asked, "Who's little brother now?" Definitely shows their ignorance.

There was this facebook group a while back called "Mark Dantonio is the 5th best coach in the State." That would be good on a tshirt, and i bet it would take them a while to figure out that it isn't a compliment. Well I thought it was funny anyways.

Don't wear your 07' student shirt unless you want to hear about App.State which as you know is listed on the back. I only bring that one out in unfamiliar territory when I feel like arguing with brain dead Sparties and Fucknuts.

I'd suggest you wear something that reveals your nipple piercings, and on the back, the shirt should say something like, "Michian State is the Suck". Yes, yes, go into their student section and be as offensive as possible, then start a thread on Monday about MSU fans and how mean they are. I'm looking forward to it.

4 victories, 170yds/game on the ground. "Bow down little brother" is already implied. Add a CMU hat if you absolutely must throw in some salt.

In my opinion, you should wear any shirt that supports U of M but I wouldn't go with any of the things that have been suggested just to piss MSU students off. The Bow Down shirts, etc. are funny, but why be that guy in a sea of sparty. And as far as Central or UNC, again, its funny to us, but it seems like the same behavior we hate about sparty when they would rather see us lose than see their own team win. If it were me, I would go with a Hart or maybe a Forcier jersey. If you want to be non-confrontational, go with the worst state ever shirt.

I'd recommend against wearing the "East Lansing is a woman of negotiable affection" shirt. You'll have to explain that to everyone there. Though it will be hilarious when you explain it to someone wearing the "Ann Arbor is a Whore" shirt.
