Things Sparty says...
Living in Las Vegas, I often will hang out at the MSU alumni bar with friends and watch the Spartans play if they're playing earlier than Michigan. Most of the people there (other than my friends) don't realize I'm a Michigan fan and therefore feel free to say typically stupid stuff that I assume most Spartan fans think like:
"Michigan State should have a recruiting advantage over Michigan because our women are hotter."
"Hiring Rodriguez was a horrible mistake. The spread offense wil never work in the Big Ten."
"Once Dantonio has a couple more years to bring in his guys, State will be beating Michigan every year."
The bar also plays some "parody" songs like "F--k the Wolverines" and some others that I don't honestly recall. I pointed out to my friends that it doesn't really help advance the cause that they're not obsessed with Michigan.

"Maybe if you can make fun of No. 23 Michigan State enough, it'll distract you from being 2-3, unranked, and looking ahead to your first Big Ten road game against the No. 6 team in the country."

Lets lay off the Sparty bashing while we're routinely getting our ass kicked, no?

Look, I'm a Michigan Grad. I am not from the State, so I have no affiliation (friends that went there, etc.) with MSU at all.
If you can't see the irony in constantly bagging on their team, and then deriding them as "obsessed" with Michigan, then you're an idiot.
