Actually I'd argue that OSU has, in fact, out-Spartied them.

I believe the band doesn't play the song anymore due to complaints, and I haven't been to Spartan Stadium in a few years to confirm, but MSU used to play some song in the late 2000's where at one point the fans would chant/sing "Fuck Them Wolverines" multiple times throughout the song.

At the end of UNC's fight song we say "Go to hell Duke" in the same manner that "Go Blue" was added to Michigan's.

The lead up to a chant at MSU basketball and hockey games especially has "Fuck those Wolverines!" and then the band plays and the chant goes on to "Go Green" band plays, "Go White" band plays, and it finishes with "Let's Go State."
Heard it all the time at the Breslin and Munn, regardless of opponent. It's pathetic.

Harvard and Yale consider each other their rival, and Princeton is the kid brother pressing his nose upon the glass wanting in.

I saw this dude in Madison eagerly parading this sign around. They had just beaten Iowa, and would not play Michigan for another seven weeks.
Illinois, Northwestern, and lord knows how many others think that Michigan is a big rival of theirs.

Frequently the Minnesota student section breaks into a cheer of "We hate Iowa." regardless of who they are playing in whatever sport. I can dig it.

The MSU fight song used to be about beating Michigan..... talk about embarrasing

"Smash right thru that line of blue, watch that score keep growing"
"Michigan is weakening, we’re going to win this game"

I used to know people in Indiana who were Purdue football and Indiana basketball fans. Heck they got two 'shared' universities with IUPUFW and IUPUI. Maybe the few committed fans they have are obsessed because it's all they've got..
