MSU Will End 2018 Winless Against Us
Just another fact to remember as we head back to work this morning with our MSU colleagues. Those sons-a-bitches will end 2018 winless against us in both men's basketball and football. They're 0-2 in basketball and 0-1 in football.
And none of those games were in Ann Arbor.
October 22nd, 2018 at 8:10 AM ^
It's been 380 days since they've beaten us.
October 22nd, 2018 at 8:10 AM ^
Don't forget 3-0 (one of them a shootout) in hockey.
October 22nd, 2018 at 8:14 AM ^
Although we do have to play MSU twice more in hockey in 2018.
So do we just do what our rival fans do..? If we win both of those games, this stat includes hockey. If we don't, obviously hockey doesn't matter and we won all the games in the sports that matter?
October 22nd, 2018 at 8:21 AM ^
I don't see any other way of handling it!

I was having a fun back-and-forth with an MSU fan yesterday. He pulled out the, "yeah, so we lost, big deal. Dantonio is still 8 of the last 11." To which I responded, "um, OK, he is also 8 of the last 12. Or, he is 7 of the last 10, if you prefer? Or 2-2 over the last 4?" Then I commented on the amazingly odd historical principles surrounding MSU football vis-a-vis their fans. It is as if history simply does not exist until Dantonio was hired. It reminds me a LOT of early Christians. Dantonio is like Jesus, and we are living in the year 12 AD (After Dantonio). They don't count the losses in the "BD" years, as the King of Peace had not yet been given unto man. So even though we won something like 75% in the years 20 to 0 BD, those losses just don't count.

Typical Michigan fans living in the past. Dantonio is a very respectable 1-2 against Michigan over the last three years.
October 22nd, 2018 at 9:46 AM ^
And that will continue to be their future against us, winning 1 out of every 3 or 4 meetings. Historical karma.
October 22nd, 2018 at 9:41 AM ^
I would greatly appreciate it if you would not compare Dantonio to Jesus.
October 22nd, 2018 at 9:47 AM ^
On behalf of a large number of very good people who read (and some who write for) this site, I would ask that you please not compare Jesus to Mark Dantonio.
October 22nd, 2018 at 9:50 AM ^
There are some similarities though:
-Both skinny white dudes.
-Both had a persecution complex.
-Both relatively humorless.
-Both died a virgin.
October 22nd, 2018 at 10:45 AM ^
However, Jesus was kind to all people even those that did not like him and he smiled more.
October 22nd, 2018 at 11:05 AM ^
Except Roman tax collectors.
October 22nd, 2018 at 11:15 AM ^
Dude, take a hint. I don't want to ban you for provoking a religious argument on the site.
October 22nd, 2018 at 11:19 AM ^
Seriously? A joke about Dantonio as MSU's Jesus will get me banned from the site? You have got to be kidding me...
October 22nd, 2018 at 12:20 PM ^
No, because he said stop and you didn't. Just like an 8 year old.
October 22nd, 2018 at 12:49 PM ^
Thanks!!!
October 22nd, 2018 at 12:39 PM ^
There's so much funny shit on the internet right now for Michigan fans, and someone potentially being banned from this site over what you wrote might be the funniest of them all.
October 22nd, 2018 at 12:46 PM ^
I thought it was pretty clearly a joke, implying that Dantonio was viewed that way by delusional MSU fans, and nothing else. And since it seems to have been taken by others that way, and did not start a "religious debate" (and certainly was not intended to do so), I assumed Seth's response was a joke. That's why I followed-up with another quip. But hey, what do I know.
October 22nd, 2018 at 12:57 PM ^
I assumed he was joking too. Then I saw the second response, and wow. A part of me was kind of hoping it would escalate because anyone claiming to be offended by what you wrote was going to make my already-very-pleasant Monday.
October 22nd, 2018 at 1:10 PM ^
I guess I find it a little odd that obvious trolls can go days and weeks on here without so much as getting noticed or mentioned by the mods, but this silliness elicits the attention of TWO moderators? I wonder if this is an implementation of board policy by the moderators, or just an expression of their own personal preferences?
October 22nd, 2018 at 12:50 PM ^
Sorry to disappoint you, but Jesus was not a white dude.
October 22nd, 2018 at 11:12 AM ^
to amplify what seth said, satan called and he is ticked that you didn't compare dantini to him. really ticked.
October 22nd, 2018 at 8:34 AM ^
Also don't forget 4-0 in baseball.
October 22nd, 2018 at 8:20 AM ^
Bummer for them, with all the bullets they’ve taken too
October 22nd, 2018 at 8:22 AM ^
Tough year for tom
October 22nd, 2018 at 8:38 AM ^
So many self inflicted bullets for poor tom and mork
October 22nd, 2018 at 8:29 AM ^
We really need thread voting back because I'd like to up vote this one. Is there a reason why thread voting is not a thing anymore? I have a feeling it's so we cannot make OPs feel bad for making silly threads.
October 22nd, 2018 at 8:50 AM ^
Pretty sure they just haven't figured it out yet in v3.0.
October 22nd, 2018 at 8:37 AM ^
How many days since they last beat Michigan? Start the count!
October 22nd, 2018 at 8:39 AM ^
Hey, let's start a meme where we tout the number of days Sparty has gone winless against us in specific sports and them paint it on our chests like a bunch of immature assholes....oh wait, that's already been done.
October 22nd, 2018 at 8:43 AM ^
"S18" must be a number from some advanced form of agrarian mathematics.
October 22nd, 2018 at 9:32 AM ^
I think one of those dudes just tried to sell me AFLAC
October 22nd, 2018 at 10:25 AM ^
Looks like a duck, quacks like a duck
October 22nd, 2018 at 8:40 AM ^
Yes, somebody who isn't BursleyHall1982 needs to look up our record vs. MSU in ALL sports for 2018. They're awful in most of the Olympic sports, so I'm guessing it's pretty impressive.
This just hasn't been their year.
October 22nd, 2018 at 9:48 AM ^
shout out at the top of your lungs, 'and one!!'
October 22nd, 2018 at 10:46 AM ^
Because I have too much time on my hands, I looked at the schedules of all teams in calendar 2018. Including events with multiple teams participating (such as conference championships), Michigan holds a record of 33-5 against Michigan State in all sports, with no Spartan team winning more than once against Michigan. There are only 2 sports (Men's Cross Country and Women's Golf) where Michigan lost the only meeting between the schools. Here's the breakdown:
MEN (18-2)
Baseball - 4-0
Basketball - 2-0
Cross Country - 0-1
Football - 1-0
Golf - 2-1
Hockey - 3-0
Swimming & Diving - 2-0
Tennis - 1-0
Track & Field - 1-0
Wrestling - 2-0
WOMEN (15-3)
Basketball - 1-1
Cross Country - 1-0
Field Hockey - 2-0
Golf - 0-1
Gymnastics - 2-0
Rowing - 1-0
Soccer - 1-0
Softball - 2-1
Swimming & Diving - 2-0
Tennis - 2-0
Track & Field - 1-0

Cue MSU fans: "We've always said Men's Cross Country is the only sport that matters anyway. Stupid dirty scUM apologist."
