Dantonio Reverses the Disrespekt Reversing Respekt by Showing Respekt for UM
The son of a bitch has now reversed the attempts to reverse the power of the disrespekt by offering respekt by himself offering respekt. I think this means we need to go back to disrespekt to win Saturday? I am so damned confused. His comments on Harbaugh/UM:
"I think they are playing outstanding," Dantonio said of Michigan. "Ranked in the top-10 in the country, which, deservedly so."
"I'm very impressed with their defense, very impressed with their front four, front seven," said Dantonio, who acknowledged it will probably be the best defensive line the Spartans will have faced this season. "They're active, they're quick, they're very well-coached - same with their back end. They've got a good football team."
"Offensively, the quarterback is playing well, running the football successfully, big-play offense in a lot of respects," Dantonio said. "So, very well-coached football team and we'll be challenged as always. That's what you get in this conference."

He is right.
October 16th, 2018 at 7:33 PM ^
Later in the interview he praises Harbaugh for treating the rivalry, him, and MSU with respekt. So maybe the days of disrespekt are over.
October 16th, 2018 at 7:50 PM ^
Don’t fall for it, it’s a trap!!
October 16th, 2018 at 10:04 PM ^
Yeah, this is a 4D chess move in disrespekt. Mork being the Gary Kasparov of disrespekt.
October 17th, 2018 at 8:54 AM ^
Does that make us Deep Blue?
October 16th, 2018 at 10:54 PM ^
That's disrespectful.
October 17th, 2018 at 7:00 AM ^
First left a silly remark here, but wanted to replace it with this thought: it may be a good idea that the two coaches are turning down the temperature on this rivalry. It was starting to become ludicrous. Let's just go to EL and administer an old-fashioned beat down, come home quietly and plan to do it every year. We're the better team and should have our eyes fixed on bigger prizes.
October 16th, 2018 at 7:34 PM ^
Stating the opposite of what he really believes. This man is evil.
October 16th, 2018 at 7:36 PM ^
He has acted this way since Harbaugh has arrived. I believe he knows the talent levels are way in Michigan’s favor...
...and then he turned around in 2015 and acted like a child stating “where did all the wolverines go?”.
cannot be trusted.
October 16th, 2018 at 10:24 PM ^
I took it as more of swipe towards Brandon and Hoke.
October 16th, 2018 at 7:37 PM ^
I bet he has some rancid breath. I can smell it while reading that quote. Wait, no, I farted.
October 16th, 2018 at 9:01 PM ^
Dantonio always reminds me of my Father-In-Law, who's breath always smells like rancid death. So I have no problem believing it's Mork's breath and not your fart.
October 16th, 2018 at 10:56 PM ^
Are you disrespecting his fart?
October 16th, 2018 at 7:39 PM ^
Don’t care, fuck him.
October 16th, 2018 at 7:59 PM ^
I'd rather not. He can go ahead and eat some shit though. Him and his raping army of football players.
October 16th, 2018 at 7:39 PM ^
If I were a coach I would say the same thing about every single team I faced especially one I knew I was going to get destroyed by. I would praise them and build them up and if I beat them then it makes my team look even better. If I lose I make it seem like I lost to a good team.
October 16th, 2018 at 8:15 PM ^
You'd never be as good at it as Lou Holtz was.
I'd probably save a few words of praise for the refs.
October 16th, 2018 at 8:16 PM ^
This was Lou Holtz every week.
October 16th, 2018 at 9:56 PM ^
Bo did it before Holtz.
It avoids bulletin board material, and maybe if you're lucky, the opposition will believe you and coast a bit.
October 16th, 2018 at 7:40 PM ^
He's trying to sandbag...lamely
October 16th, 2018 at 7:41 PM ^
Talk is cheap. Leave it on the field. I like that we're treating each other respect, as long as we dominate on the field.
October 16th, 2018 at 7:55 PM ^
I don't know what this means
October 16th, 2018 at 7:41 PM ^
I hope he takes a Charlie Weis tumble on the sideline as we hang 40 on them
October 16th, 2018 at 7:43 PM ^
Or chase down the refs begging for more time on the clock....especially since sparty bob is gone.
October 16th, 2018 at 11:00 PM ^
The kick six was probably the best play outcome I've ever seen. Just perfect.
October 16th, 2018 at 7:44 PM ^
It looks like cody white or josiah scott might be returning for our game..
October 16th, 2018 at 7:45 PM ^
Which one?? Sources?? I would prefer them both out. I am guessing Scott....
I hope Gary and Black are back for the good guys!
October 16th, 2018 at 7:57 PM ^
Yeah, I would like some sources on this. Please post.
I've heard none of this, but I am willing to be rudely shocked.
October 16th, 2018 at 8:02 PM ^
For what its worth which is probably nothing, an RCMB insider commented on it earlier and he's apparently legit. There has been rumblings all week in regards to which msu injured players will be back.
October 16th, 2018 at 8:40 PM ^
If Scott plays, he can only play the second half
October 16th, 2018 at 9:19 PM ^
Why is that?
October 17th, 2018 at 7:03 AM ^
Targeting in the Holiday Bowl.
October 17th, 2018 at 8:21 AM ^
I’m not sure that’s how it works. He sat for the first half of the next game...just so happens he was injured and missed a lot more than that. Does the rule say anything about being injured?
October 16th, 2018 at 8:20 PM ^
Of course they are. Assuming otherwise is foolish.
October 16th, 2018 at 9:45 PM ^
There is no damned way White comes back for our game. Did you see the video of his injury?
October 16th, 2018 at 7:44 PM ^
Hum, what is he up to? He's up to something sneaky, we need to watch out for some trickery from Ol' Sparty.
October 16th, 2018 at 7:46 PM ^
I am sure he has sensed the hatred toward MSU from this group of UM players and coaches... no way he was going to add anything to the bulletin board. This is not Brady Hoke he is facing and this is not repect, it's gamesmanship.
October 16th, 2018 at 7:47 PM ^
On Monday, Harbaugh said everyone could use a break from the cliches. Maybe, Dantonio has bought into this idea.
October 17th, 2018 at 7:00 AM ^
And Harbaugh proves that not only is he the better football coach, he's also more of a grown-up.
October 16th, 2018 at 7:47 PM ^
"Put some respek on my name" - Mork Darthtonia
October 16th, 2018 at 7:47 PM ^
That ol’ crafty bastard. Well played Mork, well played.
October 16th, 2018 at 7:54 PM ^
fans would be wise to just focus on the harbaugh era, and forget about the richrod and holk years. just like msu fans want all history erased before dantonio got there. the truth is the series is tied 8-8 over the last 16 years. msu won 2 very close games with michigan winning in east lansing handily. yet on rcmb msu is just primed to blow michigans doors off. because, well, you know that's what they do every year to michigan. get ready to return back to the dark ages, sparty.
this is a harbaugh coached team with harbaugh players. i doubt they fear msu. they love to keep thinking they have some magical spell over michigan and will win just because they want to. this series is reverting back to the bo years when michigan would win no matter what kind of game it was.
October 16th, 2018 at 8:16 PM ^
Harbaugh has 34 wins to date at UM. Over the same period Mork has 29.
October 16th, 2018 at 9:58 PM ^
I thought Mork had 39.
October 17th, 2018 at 2:11 AM ^
Orson called Mork home. RIP MORK!
#therealmork
October 17th, 2018 at 8:28 AM ^
To be fair, the rebuilding job Mork faced at MSU was much more challenging than what Harbaugh inherited here. That being said, screw him.
October 17th, 2018 at 9:43 AM ^
That was a long time ago though. Mork has been way more hot and cold than Harbaugh has over the last 4 (including this one) seasons. I bet Mork would have loved our crappy 8 win season in place of his terrible 3-9 season.
October 19th, 2018 at 7:25 AM ^
lol. yeah. ok.
