So How Will You Handle the Sparty's You Meet This Week?
Mates,
This week most of us will encounter sparty types in our work place, at the kids' practices and games, etc. Do you have any rabid spartys you'll be dealing with? How will you handle them? We've got some spartys at our office, but only one is rabid and he's still pretty much a gentleman about it. He and I do have a wager on how many victories Michigan will get this year, and he said Michigan won't get 7 - looks like a poor choice on his part.
Who will you encounter this week and how what're you going to say to them? Are you a smack talker, more quiet, or somewhere in between.
Great game today. Turning into a phenomenol season. Oh boy, in one week we could really be off to the races. Go blue.

...yet, the powers that be only seem to hire from western and central Michigan. So there are more Spartys employed than people from A2. Most of them, however, don't appear to be football fans. The one that is, has gotten hugely preferential treatment even though he basically doesn't do anything. He couldn't get a job in E. Lansing, where he lives. Still, he has nothing but scorn for Ann Arbor, where he drives every day to work. Last year, he was smugness personnified about his team. I don't really plan to say much to him during the week, and if we kick their ass like I hope we will... won't say much then either.

The "Signature Win" no longer has a winning record as they just lost at home to Washington State.

And whilst they have had their dark days of revelrous debauchery, the end approaches for them and their filthy hoards.
I plan to be still and defer to their maniacal ravings of superiority for a short while longer.
Then, when the sun of Michigan Football tradition pierces their skies of gloom next Saturday, I shall rise up to crush them in their despair.
Or perhaps I will just say good game and await the defeat of OSU before I gloat.
By the way I have been drinking heavily.

With the utmost respect. Northwestern is clearly overrated, as is BYU & everyone else that Michigan has played. Michigan's time is over and Sparty is clearly the class of college football. I would also say it with the biggest grin on my face.
A bigger question to me is if Rutgers beats Sparty, who is ranked higher tomorrow and how much would Michigan be favored?
October 10th, 2015 at 10:50 PM ^
The coaches poll and AP poll take so long to figure anything out, so I fully expect Sparty to be ranked above Michigan as long as they hold off Rutgers. But Michigan's gonna be favored by at least 5, which is gonna be funny as hell.

The line opened at 6.5

Holding my fire, but remembering everything my loud-mouth Sparty friends have said. Then on Saturday night have I'll have a big smile whilst I begineth a year-long campaign of retribution.

I'm just gonna sit in the middle of campus down in Florida and play the fight song every time I see one, or maybe just all day in general...

I think any but the most irrational Sparty fan knows what's probably going to happen next Saturday. They can barely beat Purdue, their defining win now looks like utter trash, and they might lose to Rutgers tonight.
They know.

We are already in their heads.
The fear is almost palpable.
Show them what it means to act like you been there before...;)

With humble heart.

Wait until they start complaining that THIS year should have been their home game...
Maybe Dantonio should have his team plant a tent stake into the turf or something.

They're struggling to beat Rutgers, it's tied 24-24 late in the 4th.
MSU's offensive line can't protect Cook, and Rutgers is running the ball on them.
MSU has been moving the ball via acrobatic catches thrown at the last second by an under pressure QB.
The more of this game I watch, the more I like what I see.
MSU is vulnerable and no way are they #4 in the nation.

I always try to play it low key. To me you can compete and win with class, even against a bitter rival. And I'm a 42 year old pudgy guy. I'd look a little lame acting all hard.
Most of the Sparties I work with are all good guys too.
The ones that have pi$$ed me off the past 8 years who have been dick$? Well, my talking smack isn't going to make any difference one way or the other. If we win it won't make them feel worse. If we lose, they'll have less ammunition.
In the end, I just want to see our team go out there and level some righteous hits against Sparty. And I'd love to see Dantonio leave the game with a sour look on his face, and the thought in the back of his mind 'Oh. There's the threat.'

Honestly. I hope we skull f*ck those sh*tbags and their dbag coach next week on national television.
I wouldn't mind them grabbing Connor Cooks face mask and twisting it like they did to Denards a few years back. Sparty got it common' yo...

Luckily where I live sparties are rare, like the spotted owl.

Be polite, nod in sympathy, express how it should be a great game but inwardly I'm screaming WE'RE GOING TO RIP SPARTY'S HEART OUT.
