META: Spartan Week Reminder
Greetings MGoDenizens. Just a reminder that this is a week where a fan base with an inferiority complex will be taking on your Michigan Wolverines.
This leads to unfun things in these parts, so remember, don't feed the trolls. Mods will take care of them when we have the time. Downvote and move on.
We're expecting this type of stuff not only this week, but next week, and every week, because if you're a Spartan, you have nothing better to do.
And on that note, let it be said, DO NOT GO TROLLING THEIR BOARDS EITHER. It only encourages them to troll back. Take the high road and stick to your own team's blog(s).
[Geaux_Blue edit]: Bump this post if/when you spot one. Helpful.

Funny you should mention, I just got a FB message from a huge MSU homer that said Go Green! Blue Sucks! I simply just ignored it and moved on.
October 4th, 2010 at 12:16 PM ^
Seriously? They're organizing a "board invasion"? lol.
October 4th, 2010 at 12:19 PM ^
Better than a PREWB invasion ammiright?
October 4th, 2010 at 4:02 PM ^
Y'all need to hide your engineers, hide your women, and hide your hockey players 'cause they're criminally assaultin' everybody out here.
October 4th, 2010 at 12:17 PM ^
Thanks for the reminder. Sometimes I need to remind myself to stay classy in the midst of a heated rivalry.
October 4th, 2010 at 12:18 PM ^
Yes, we must treat our little brother with respect.
October 4th, 2010 at 1:14 PM ^
treat him with respect... until he gets really annoying. Then convince him that everytime he sneezes it attracts bees (of course bring out some pepper), or that snakes can come up through the toilet but only while hes sitting down.
That'll show em...
October 4th, 2010 at 12:18 PM ^
Can we talk about how bad our defense played UNACCEPTABLE!!!!11!!! Need more sacks and AGGRESSIVE SWWAGGAR!!!1! Pad LEVEL EXPECTATIONS!!!1!
October 4th, 2010 at 12:21 PM ^
where MGoBlog might be creating a new internet phenomena of Supportive Trolling
October 4th, 2010 at 1:02 PM ^
it doesn't change the fact that, at this stage, to quote Bill Parcels, you are what you are. There is little reason for optimism, as even if players improve with experience, as some will, so will the offense we face as they will have had more time to prepare. Stand ready for lots of 40-35 games.

"On the banks of the red cedar..." I always wondered what that part was about.
October 4th, 2010 at 12:23 PM ^
Eh...State fans are kinda like mosquitoes......they're around all summer, every once in a while one might bite you enough to leave a mark but most of the time you just squish them between your thumbs....otherwise they're pretty much non-existent by mid-October.
October 4th, 2010 at 12:24 PM ^
I was going to say we should return the favor, but then I realized I'm not 12 and am a functioning member of society.
October 4th, 2010 at 12:25 PM ^
You know, the Ohio State board likes to post the emails the trolls use to sign up. If there was ever a time to copy OSU, this might be it.
October 4th, 2010 at 12:30 PM ^
absolutely not. as great as it would be to post the @albion.edu, etc., email addresses that Spartan trolling has utilized, there's a difference. perhaps we could call it... the Michigan difference.

October 5th, 2010 at 7:40 AM ^
There emails should be easy to spot - anything from @mcdonalds.com and @walmart.com should require extra verification.
October 4th, 2010 at 12:27 PM ^
We'll let the team do the talking on Saturday.
October 4th, 2010 at 12:31 PM ^
It looks like they are quite confused at the purpose of Mgopoints...to stop what they are trying to accomplish.
All hail the mods! and Brian!
October 4th, 2010 at 12:31 PM ^
Not just for San Diego
October 4th, 2010 at 12:32 PM ^
Mods, you've got a big week.
+1 for all mods. You do good work out there.
October 4th, 2010 at 12:33 PM ^
By the way, Denard Robinson would be, like, the 20th fastest guy on MSU's roster. SWALLOW IT.
SPARTAN NATION
October 4th, 2010 at 12:39 PM ^
We can just remind them this exists:
On second thought, they probably all think this is really cool, so it wouldn't matter. It's really hard to embarrass a Sparty... which explains why they are Sparties in the first place.
October 4th, 2010 at 12:44 PM ^
Shocked? You bet I'm not!
October 4th, 2010 at 12:51 PM ^
Where is the line that says:
I'm a Spartan...I start out every year giving false hope to all our fans...in the stands....and then choke the season away....dat's da Sparty way!!!
October 4th, 2010 at 12:52 PM ^
Um, they think this is cool. I was sent this video from a Sparty, along with Petway's rap, saying, "Our athletes are even better rappers than yours." Which I replied to with a heavy dose of Coner & the President.
October 4th, 2010 at 12:39 PM ^
with such a clean, well-organized, easy-to-read, easy-to-participate in, etc., website. every time i look at a rival team's blog, all I get is some primitive-looking POS with a messy combination of information, which is the greatest disincentive to participate (i.e., troll). it's like comparing facebook to myspace 5 years ago.
October 4th, 2010 at 12:40 PM ^
Yes keep it classy. There is no need to say things about players like, "that guy (Robinson) can take his bushy eyebrows get hep c from a dude in a seedy rest stop bathroom". That is uncalled for. I mean they don't see us making fun of Greg Jones' lesbian dreadlock style haircut.
October 4th, 2010 at 1:03 PM ^
Now that you mention it... Greg Jones does look like a little feminine.
October 4th, 2010 at 12:41 PM ^
Who as soon as he found out I was an M fan started talking shit about how Michigan would finish the year terrible ad about how Greg jones would stop Denard.
<br>
<br>Needless to say I kept it civil and just said "jones has to catch him first and I don't think he can"
<br>
<br>They all have huge inferiority complexes and it's best to ignore them or try to educate them. For example he made a comment about how our pass d is terrible so I told him how:
<br>
<br>#1 corner out for the season
<br>#2?? Corner transferred
<br>#3 corner was #4 last year
<br>#4 is a journeyman that was recruited at wr and has never seen the field before this year
<br>And freshmen
<br>
<br>Then I explained safeties and he didn't really know what to say.
October 4th, 2010 at 12:42 PM ^
for them
It looks like today's bitch is going to be mgoblog.com.
Let's mobilize....I've loaded up several usernames already, but I'm going to be tied up until about 12 CST.
October 4th, 2010 at 12:46 PM ^
Gotta wait for him/her to get off their shift at mcdonalds
<br>
<br>/hurr hur
October 4th, 2010 at 3:34 PM ^
Let's hope he's tied up in a closet.
October 4th, 2010 at 12:45 PM ^
its great to see how conflicted the people on RCMB are.
Grow up and show some class. The anti-UM vitriol is stupid and shows our insecurity.
followed up by
One of those people who is insecure about showing insecurity.
Whatever...we don't need her.
and the original poster compounding his/her argument about insecurity with this gem
Oh now I get it. You have a tiny ***** and being an ass makes you feel better.
so why do they get mad when we can't take them seriously
October 4th, 2010 at 1:57 PM ^
I'm so confused. Does the topic starter even begin to realize that he is promoting acting like an ass in the first place? Does he then realize that he claims being an ass derives from having a small...member?
I'd ask if they understood any part of irony, dramatic, situational, or otherwise, but I think this is just stupidity.
October 4th, 2010 at 1:57 PM ^
Are IP adresses important? What happens If I change my parents IP's?
.... Ordinarily I'd make a joke here, but there are just too many to choose from.
October 4th, 2010 at 2:50 PM ^
Fish, Barrel, Gun. Too easy.
October 4th, 2010 at 6:45 PM ^
Sparty on Sparty violence is just so sad.
October 4th, 2010 at 12:51 PM ^
How about just not allowing new accounts to create board topics for the next five days?
October 4th, 2010 at 12:56 PM ^
Yeah, can't we temporarily raise the threshold to create topics? Most of the "invaders" will probably stop bothering if they need 100 points to start a thread.
October 4th, 2010 at 12:57 PM ^
Doesn't even take that much:
I still can't figure out how to start a thread and I don't want to spend any more than 2 minutes trying to figure it out.
October 4th, 2010 at 1:18 PM ^
Yeah, I read that and chuckled as well.
October 4th, 2010 at 9:21 PM ^
Wow...just wow...
October 4th, 2010 at 12:57 PM ^
Brian is contemplating turning off all new user registration this week. I think it's overkill. Let them say their thing, we'll banhammer then shortly thereafter.
October 4th, 2010 at 12:58 PM ^
Well, at least I'm not crazy....
October 4th, 2010 at 1:04 PM ^
i agree. i really want to see what they have to say. its no fun for us when the mods delete the incomprehensible nonsense they post. i've been checking constantly to fine a troll post but with no success.
