More Disrespekt: NBC headline has MSU losing to Minny
The actual story gets it right, but the headline on NBC has Sparty losing to Minnesota.
NBC cares so little about Sparty, they can't even get the opponent right.

These aren't hard things to get right. It's not as if they are asking someone to explain the nuances of quantum mechanics.

Yet, read the article. First paragraph. Big Ten "Eest."
Yeesh.
Then, later on, it discusses MSU's hopes for the Big Ten West.

I think you are missing the fact that they wrote the article in Spartan dialect. Look at the whole sentence that you are referencing: "STAEE can still win the BigTen Eest."
November 8th, 2015 at 12:33 PM ^
I had wondered why the author had declared "PIECE OF SHIT ASS OFFICIALS!!" and "EXCEPTING ALL RESUMES!!"
Consider my critique retracted.
November 8th, 2015 at 11:05 AM ^
MSU has got to be one the least nationally relevant "elite" programs I have ever seen.
November 8th, 2015 at 11:31 AM ^
I've yet to hear a single person refer to msu as an elite program

They try to, hence my use of quotation marks.
November 8th, 2015 at 11:46 AM ^
That's beccause most rational people know the truth. They aren't an elite program. They're a program having some recent success. When they can win like this for 30+ years, the perception might change.

Mike sure thinks so.
November 8th, 2015 at 12:32 PM ^
I think they are the K-State of the B1G and Dantonio is their Snyder, albeit a much more unlikable character. Without Synder K-State is nothing and they make their hay in the years when the big programs are down. I think MSU will follow a similar trajectory.

Mike isn't going to like that.

When does our commenting on things that seem to disrespect MSU provide evidence that disrespect actually exists?
November 8th, 2015 at 11:15 AM ^
We acknowledge them, it's because we disrespect them.
We don't acknowledge them, it's because we disrespect them.
They love having it both ways.
November 8th, 2015 at 11:34 AM ^
Exactly. It's funny, I only care about them when we play them. Unless they are undefeated or looking good, because then I have to pay attention, as I am afraid good things might happen to them. Now that their spirits have been crushed and Mike D'Antoni is all sad and holding up one finger and their odds of going to the playoff have dropped to near zero, I just don't care anymore.
November 8th, 2015 at 11:07 AM ^
Sparty - that is all

They throw the word perfect around pretty loosely, don't they?
November 8th, 2015 at 11:56 AM ^
That about sums up little bro's lot.
November 8th, 2015 at 1:12 PM ^
I was shocked to see that it is still like that. I was sure it would have been corrected by now.
November 8th, 2015 at 11:09 AM ^
This stuff just just writes itself. Overall this has been a fun weekend.
November 8th, 2015 at 11:13 AM ^
It's been a great weekend. I hate having to root for Sparty to lose, but once OSU trounces them, then we can go back to just hating the Bucknuts.
November 8th, 2015 at 11:19 AM ^
It looks like Sparty was able to get one last gift from the gods against us. The problem for them is these are not always gracious gods; they can give, but then turn around and take in the most painful of ways. OSU has Meyer, we have The Harbaugh. The B1G East should be a two team race (settle down Sparty, I'm not talking about you) for the foreseeable future.
November 8th, 2015 at 11:20 AM ^
Yep. That would be much easier and better for my health. MSU fans will start focusing on Basketball season and all will be better in this universe.
November 8th, 2015 at 11:12 AM ^
Big picture shows just how bad sports journalism has become. We laugh, but ESPN, NBC sports and CBS sports are truly turning to dog shit. NFL network and MLB network are the only ones that are worth your time.

and just blew his playoff chances....This Guy!!!
November 8th, 2015 at 11:42 AM ^
I remember that gesture from the game - it was either, "This guy? This guy right here? What's going on?" or it was a signal to Jim Delany that said, "In the spirit of Plaxico Burress, I would like to motion the conference to allow us to except this game."
November 8th, 2015 at 11:56 AM ^
Must have shot that gif
November 8th, 2015 at 11:16 AM ^
That'd be a better loss.
November 8th, 2015 at 11:22 AM ^
Seems Nebraska is the team being disrespected here, no? (Not that I wouldn't still except Dantonio to take it personally)
November 8th, 2015 at 11:28 AM ^
With the complete lack of awareness Sparty fans have shown in their own fortunes with regards to shitty officiating, I see them as a bumbling horde of simpletons that like what they see when the green and white team does good, but doesn't like it when the not green and white team does good. They sit there smiling and clapping like the special ed kid does at his own farts, but now somebody has taken their sucker and the world has crumbled around them. You can try to explain all you want that it wasn't their sucker anyway, it doesn't matter. Little Sparty is gonna throw a tantrum now and then cry himself to sleep. Just weather the storm, he'll be quite soon.
November 8th, 2015 at 11:30 AM ^
I smile at my farts too FWIW. I think they are hilarious.
November 8th, 2015 at 11:38 AM ^
Because farts are funny.
November 8th, 2015 at 4:09 PM ^
