Back in my day (RR era) I remember a frat my good friend from high shool was in set up couches and and a big straight leg tent around the M.  I believe it was Sig Ep, they usually had pizza in the evenings, and coffee and doughnuts in the morning.  Not sure if all the frats pitched and in or if it was just Sig Ep, either way even if the team sucks it seems like a good recruiting event for frats.

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the Spartans and the tyranny of evil brahs. Blessed is he who, in the name of the leaders and best, shepherds the Wolverines through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of upset victories. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those Spartan brah's who would attempt to poison and destroy My Wolverines with 60 minutes of unnecessary roughness. And you will know My name is the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon thee.

(Credit to MSU on an age-old prank.  I hope their team is looking for their teeth in the turf on Saturday, and we can hear the lamentations of their brahs and women for miles after the game.  But Jebus, this sort of shit has been done for ages, and credit to MSU for pulling this off.)

Couch burning... vandalism... plastic garbage bags swirling around the stadium... yes, they'll always have the edge over Michigan there

This was actually a dumb move on Sparty's part.

We've been walking around with our tail between our legs in a self-induced coma felling sorry for ourselves and hoping that big bad MSU won't hurt us too much.

This is the slap in the face we need to snap us out of it and remember "Oh, yeah we're Michigan.  And you're just Michigan State.  Now, where were we?"

It's hard to isolate yourself from all of the negative noise around the program.  The players have said as much.  They try to ignore it, but it doesn't help.

We're all in this together.  Having the players, coaches, fans, band, cheerleaders, the bus driver, everybody, all fired up at the same time to KICK SPARTY's ASS is what we need right now.  So thanks, Sparty.  

We can go back to bickering among ourselves next week.

After realizing they cannot be trusted to spray-spell a 5-letter word like "STATE" correctly, they have limited themselves to three letters, and the first one was a gimme.

 

Well done, Sparty.  Well done, truly.  I admire a person who knows his own limitations.
