Who is your favorite Sparty?
Well its that time of year again. M vs Sparty. We had a similar discussion during the softball season. I ask you; Who is your favorite Sparty?
I was asked this question in front of my sister. Without hesitation I answered, "Carol Hutchins". My sister piped up and said. "Did you forget? I'm a Sparty"
I calmly answered, "You are my second favorite" She was pissed.

Who fought the real battle it really fictionalized.
October 13th, 2011 at 8:30 PM ^
Steve Smith and Scott Skiles...
October 13th, 2011 at 8:51 PM ^
I'm a big Bulls fan, and I'm an admirer of his work as an NBA coach.
October 13th, 2011 at 10:10 PM ^
if you had been in school when he was at MSU. That dude was a assassin against M hoops.
October 14th, 2011 at 8:27 AM ^
was a quarterback for the Wolverines from 1981-1983.........Now, who is this Skiles character you are referring to and what year did he play for the Wolverines?????
October 13th, 2011 at 8:31 PM ^
TRICK QUESTION!!
October 13th, 2011 at 8:34 PM ^
an ex-Sparty, with some fava beans and a nice chianti.
October 13th, 2011 at 8:35 PM ^
drew nitzel, i loved watching him play :$
October 13th, 2011 at 8:36 PM ^
Jason Richardson.
October 13th, 2011 at 11:16 PM ^
Funny... He is Steve Nash's wife's favorite too!
October 13th, 2011 at 8:40 PM ^
Trying to avoid politics, but James P. Hoffa and Debbie Stabenow. And of course Sonny Corleone.
October 13th, 2011 at 9:13 PM ^
and a Spartan.
That is all
October 13th, 2011 at 8:45 PM ^
I'm 42 now; as a high school senior, I visited my sister at Akers dormitory at MSU numerous times.. and should have become an alcoholic in the aftermath. I have to say that I never met a nicer bunch of people who partied that hard in all of my life. On one occasion, after getting completely obliterated and lost while trying to get back, I passed out under a huge low hanging spruce such that only my feet stuck out from under the tree. I remember this: some completely random sparties pulled me out by my feet and asked me where I was supposed to be. They carried me back to my sisters dorm and dropped me in front of her door. As some of you know, I was a Michigan football cheerleader back in the acrobat squad days; I bleed blue, and generally dislike Sparty football, but I think if that had been in Ann Arbor I might still be under that tree.
October 13th, 2011 at 8:50 PM ^
No sarcasm. Cool story!
October 13th, 2011 at 8:52 PM ^
Wow, that story actually says a lot about how poorly you view Michigan students. I'm not saying the first person who walked by would have helped you out (and you don't know how many Sparties walked by you and laughed) but I'm sure someone would have.

In my day if you passed out close to a certain sorority house you would have been dragged into the dungeon to face the peril. Strange feeling waking up hungover wondering why your underwear was on backwards.

October 13th, 2011 at 11:05 PM ^
Any of the 3 times it happened?
October 13th, 2011 at 11:52 PM ^
Probably Delta Grab a Donut.
October 13th, 2011 at 8:49 PM ^
I know, I know ... I was a big fan of his when he was on the Falcons. I was young, give me a break.
I was happy to see him catch the long TD pass on the first drive of the Super Bowl with the Packers (was even happier that Desmond won the MVP of that game...even though I'm a Bears fan).
October 13th, 2011 at 8:54 PM ^
Tom Izzo. He's a classy guy. Granted, I don't root for MSU basketball. Also MSU's hockey head coach Tom Anastos is my neighboor and I like him
October 13th, 2011 at 11:05 PM ^
Didn't Izzo graduate from Northern Michigan? I know he did, actually. So what are our ground rules (serious q)- do Sparan alums (like Carol Hutchins) count as Spartans, or would she count as a Wolverine, or both?
Screw the rules. The only tolerable Spartans are the ones I've had relations with. And they weren't even tolerable, actually, when speaking or doing much of anything other than partying/"relating."
October 13th, 2011 at 9:04 PM ^
Tie between 
Doug Karsch
and
Sam Raimi (I enjoy the Evil Dead and Spider-man trilogies)
October 13th, 2011 at 9:45 PM ^
That Karsh picture is straight out of Capcom vs. 97.1 ,the video game.
October 14th, 2011 at 12:21 AM ^
Doug Karsh is 14 feet tall.
October 14th, 2011 at 10:49 AM ^
Never knew if true
October 13th, 2011 at 9:09 PM ^
Peter Gent. North Dallas Forty is a must read.
October 13th, 2011 at 9:16 PM ^
only the weak have a favorite sparty
October 13th, 2011 at 9:19 PM ^
I think he is a fine visual of what every spartan looks like on the inside....
October 13th, 2011 at 11:01 PM ^
He betrayed them and got all those Spartans killed.
October 13th, 2011 at 9:31 PM ^
A little summer intern that I had my way with. Sweet girl really. Definitely my favorite Sparty.
October 13th, 2011 at 9:40 PM ^
You sly dog you
October 13th, 2011 at 9:58 PM ^
Did you bump the "Bump when you just got laid" thread over at RCMB?
October 13th, 2011 at 10:57 PM ^
Steve Phillips, is that you?
October 13th, 2011 at 11:03 PM ^
Bill Clinton, is that you?
October 13th, 2011 at 9:40 PM ^
The situation.
October 13th, 2011 at 9:42 PM ^
So i am a huge Michigan fan, been to about 15 games the last 4 years (im in college right now), and I just happened to get tickets to MSU vs. Northwestern in 2007. They lost in overtime, and my friend and I went to go get autographs. Javon Ringer was the last one to come out of the stadium, and after losing in overtime and having to talk to reporters for 30 minutes, he was more than glad to sign autographs for us and a few others there.
Fast forward to 2009, I went to another MSU game, and was tailgating with my friend. He goes, "isn't that Javon Ringer?". I said, "no I think youve had too much to drink, he plays for the Titans now". Sure enough, it was him, and we invited him to our tailgate, he was cool and hung out with us for a while.
I can't stand anything MSU related, especially on this week, but Javon Ringer is a class act.
October 14th, 2011 at 11:13 AM ^
Played against Ringer in highschool. Seemed like he was helping me up every time he trucksticked me. In all seriousness I completely agree, hung out with him a couple times outside of football and he was always a really nice guy. Couldn't help but be happy for him when he did well against anybody but Michigan.
October 13th, 2011 at 9:42 PM ^
My ex-wife. She was extremely talented.
October 13th, 2011 at 9:53 PM ^
I would say my childhood hero Magic, but I also met Tony Mandarich, because his sister-in-law took me to a Colts game and then we had dinner with the guy. He was pretty nice, even though we were all UM students.
October 13th, 2011 at 9:55 PM ^
Sparty poo**ang. And the only good Sparty poo**ang is dead Sparty poo**ang, I think.
October 13th, 2011 at 9:55 PM ^
One of my best friends...have to say DT by default.
Would've came to Michigan if we took JuCo kids...
October 13th, 2011 at 9:57 PM ^
Aaron bates after a kid I know kept yelling Aaron bates for heisman all last year whenever I mentioned shoelace around him. It was really funny cause the guy was dead serious providing me with his passing and punting stats
October 13th, 2011 at 9:58 PM ^
jeff smoker all the way
October 13th, 2011 at 9:59 PM ^
If he isn't everyone's favorite Sparty, something is wrong with all of you.
October 13th, 2011 at 10:08 PM ^
John L Smith! Who could forget when he blew a gasket in 2005 at the halftime of their games against ohio. "THE COACHES ARE SCREWIN UP!!" And then that press conference where he slapped himself.
October 13th, 2011 at 10:15 PM ^
The Sparty I hate the least is Ryan Miller because he took the US to the Gold Medal game. That is all.
