Michigan-Michigan State Rivalry for a cause
If you all can remember, the highlight of last week was somebody flying over the Spartan's stadium and skywriting "Go Blue."
Since this prank cost a few thousand dollars, the executive director of Michigan State's Alumni Association thought that they could take the rivalry to a new level and has urged State fans to raise money for the Michigan Ovarian Cancer Alliance. The executive director wanted to see how much money they could raise for this cause and then ask Michigan alumni to match it. Pretty cool deal if you ask me. And it goes to remind people that there are greater things than football.
I still will talk inordinate amounts of smack for the game. But this is cool.
EDIT: I guess over $9,000 has been raised as of late yesterday (Tuesday)

If people need to be reminded that there are things that are more important than football then they're in need of a real world rehabilitation.

things more important than football. I mean there is pizza, there is Breaking Bad, there is football. There are 3 things more important than football and that is just off the top of my head.

I have detected your sarcasm and yet, I must point out that after last weekend, it seemed that many had forgotten that there is life outside of our fandom.
September 18th, 2013 at 11:34 AM ^
Not for me there isn't.

I mean, ya gotta grow man. Don't you ever want anything more for yourself? I know this poor hapless son of a bitch does. I look into his sorry doe eyes and I just, I see a man crying out. He's crying out, "When Lord? When the fuck can your servant ditch this foul-mouthed little chucklehead to whom I am a constant victim of his folly, so much so that it prevents him from ever getting to kiss a girl! Fuck! When, Lord when? WHENS GONNA BE MY TIME?

You should really work on that. Find a girl or something.
September 18th, 2013 at 3:05 PM ^

She's not exclusive. And she doesn't give blow jobs.
September 18th, 2013 at 4:10 PM ^
Anything someone like myself can get is good enough.
September 18th, 2013 at 4:12 PM ^
I think you're selling yourself short.
September 19th, 2013 at 11:18 AM ^
If you knew me you wouldn't think that.
September 18th, 2013 at 8:19 PM ^
You're definitely selling yourself short. Women are easy, man. You just have to show some interest (but not too much), speak with confidence, and make some nice little gestures. Easy peasy, they eat it up. Go try it, you won't be sorry.
Keep you warm at night.
Keeping them happy? You'll need someone else to help you there, I got nothing.

Eh, Bacon's not that great. I mean, Three and Out was an interesting look behind the scenes of the RR years, but I'm not a fan of his writing style.
September 18th, 2013 at 11:22 AM ^
I want to live in your bubble. Vacancies?
September 18th, 2013 at 11:31 AM ^
first, you need to become so unable to deal with the everyday struggles of life that you live every day in almost acute post traumatic stress to the extent that you actually disassociate with yourself and your surroundings. Next, get a bunch of pot. And bam - all that matters is football, pizza, and Breaking Bad, in that order.

That's a nice concise recipe for blissful ignorance. What addition(s) need to made to integrate Here Comes Honey Boo Boo to the list?
September 18th, 2013 at 12:08 PM ^
Take these.
I did.
September 18th, 2013 at 12:07 PM ^
Three?

"I don't fault the Michigan fan who did it, but it felt like it would make sense to take our rivalry to a more productive level," Westerman told MLive.com.
Rivalry or not, this is actually a really cool - and productive - way to apply that same spirit to an excellent cause, and it even better that it is one that is near and dear to Mr. Westerman's heart, if you will. Supposedly, the official challenge to the Michigan Alumni Association will be issued at the end of the week based on what I heard off the radio.
September 18th, 2013 at 11:46 AM ^
Yes! It's in the same vein (pun intended) as the Blood battle, which I've always felt was an awesome rivalry week tradition.
September 18th, 2013 at 11:21 AM ^
and double whatever the Spartans raise.

Any word on who paid for that sky writing?
September 18th, 2013 at 11:39 AM ^
was either Johny Manziel or Oregon. It is still being looked into.
September 18th, 2013 at 11:48 AM ^
They should have spelled out 12-10 and "the threat....34" over spartan stadium.
September 18th, 2013 at 1:12 PM ^
A two-point win over a 7-6 team should be a relief for us, not something to brag about.

Brandon could market it as a "gameday experience" cost and brand it. Then, when people hand in their dollar, they get one of those airplane oxen masks stamped with a Tostitos logo and know the tax they just paid was worth it.
September 18th, 2013 at 3:21 PM ^
Cool, but we're still going to beat the shit out of them in East Lansing.
September 18th, 2013 at 3:54 PM ^
It needs to be in a busier thread.
September 18th, 2013 at 11:42 PM ^
for the lack of upvotes.
September 18th, 2013 at 4:18 PM ^
Fig Things.
September 18th, 2013 at 4:33 PM ^
Match it? We should double it! This is Michigan fergodsakes!
