Dantonio Dress-Up: Smilin' Mark's Pump n' Lube
It's "goin' to work," Sparty-style, according to the Freep:
Mark Dantonio wore his “camp shirt” today, a nod to the blue-collar approach he seeks from his team this season.
And, here he is, in a low-res picture:
That's a Dantonio smile. It really is. The snappy label? Here's the details:
Everyone on the team got one of the shirts, he said — short sleeves, collars and sewn-on name tags with “Spartan Moving” below the names.
First off, "blue collar?" Really? It's the primary color of your only real rival!
Secondly, "Spartan Moving?" As in "Movin' Out?" Like after another year like last year...
Finally, those of us who have truly been blue collar once (and not had to fashion a cute outfit for make-believe) know that movers don't have work shirts with their names on them. (Protip: It's because many are day-laborers, and the moving company wouldn't spring for such items except for generic models sporting names like "Bub" or "Tony" or "Melvin" or "Mark.")
So I would suggest that if Coach D wants to channel a timeless blue-collar service provider, this is a good guy to model:
Mark better practice smiling because here is a candid picture of The Sparty AD and President upon recently hearing of another recruiting class of 1 and 2 stars:
As Dantonio says: Go Blue (Collar)!

Spartan Moving is an actual company... which makes this weird. I think they should have gone with Spartan Plumbing (an actual company, and nothing against plumbers, it just seems like a more crappy job).

I read that somewhere. Seems some on this board ran out of brie not whine.

Its not just this thread, which is fine by me but is kind of a reach. Its that I have noticed a lot of threads that fit that description. Most involve more comments about the thread's worth than its actual substance.
Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have run out of things to discuss. There is no "hot seat." There is no "process." Recruiting seems to be going very well. Etc.
We are encounterning the curse of a stable program in the off season.
We need ourselves from Michigan football in the worst way.
Only eight more days.

You know you shouldn't, but you can't help yourself, no matter the consequences. And there are always consequences.
Plus, you know Dantonio will never smile, shake a hand or say a single kind word in connection with this rivalry. So, that's why these theads get started and attract commentary from all sides. Don't poke a sleeping Sasquatch or a goofy one. Just wait fot the hate. Dantonio will bring it without any motivation.

So you got drunk and had a little fun with her at some point, now she wants to share her hopes and dreams but if you just ignore her long enough she will just go away.
