Devin Bush: "I hate Michigan State"

Submitted by Moleskyn on

Devin Bush was a radio show this morning, and had some fiery words:

Michigan junior linebacker Devin Bush Jr. didn’t hesitate during a radio appearance Friday morning when asked which rival he dislikes more, Michigan State or Ohio State...

...“I hate Michigan State,” Bush said. “I don’t like Michigan State. I don’t like Ohio State either, but I just don’t like Michigan State. I don’t want even want to touch that green.”

Personally, I love it. I can't stand either rival, and living in Ohio OSU is higher on the list for me, but MSU is so obnoxious. I hope UM goes into East Lansing in October and humiliates Sparty.

97.1 morning show has done their best to get quotes out of Bush and Patterson that they can use for prewritten articles and content for Valenti's show to talk about in the afternoon.

Patterson's "relax" comment was a leading question about Aaron Rodgers, and he essentially said "Yeah, I agree." Much different than the articles saying "Patterson says Michigan fans need to relax!!"

Their conversation with Bush, they hadn't gotten anything quote/article worthy out of him yet, so they rapid fired questions at him at the end. "Who do you hate more?" is giving them something to talk about either way. Valenti was gonna spend the afternoon talking about how either "Michigan still doesn't respect the rivalry which is why MSU wins" or "Is Michigan finally admitting that MSU is their main rival over OSU?"

I am so over media people trying to make Michigan players/fans/coaches look like assholes/morons with quotes.  FUCK THEM!  We are going to win.  We have the team and the talent and the coaching!  I am not going to apologize for loving Michigan or for believing it will be great.  I don’t give a shit what’s happened in the last 15 years.  We are a great school, great program, great culture, great fan base with a winning attitude and unlimited potential.  Go Fucking Blue!!!  And fuck those assholes from the local and/or national media who want us to turn on Harbaugh or our program.  FUCK YOU Pete Finebaum, BTN, ESPN and everyone else!

I've said this about MSU for a long time, and it still rings true. They have hated, and I mean HATED Michigan for years for being the type of program that looks down on MSU. That no matter what, they were an inferior program and they'd never be seen as equals to Michigan. That was the entire foundation upon which Dantonio built his program. 

Now, the shoe is on the other foot: MSU fans have become everything they ever hated about Michigan.

There is alot of truth to that. 

When I was at Michigan I had alot of HS friends who went to MSU. They complained of Michigan fans who ripped on them before they even entered the school. I thought that was kind of shitty so I avoided belittling MSU. 

Now? They just rip UM every chance they get, all the time. People like Valenti are scum, at least on the radio. I'm done with them. 

We've become competitive with them since Harbaugh got here. But I want to see UM win, and win angry.

The funny thing is State might not even be ranked so it wouldnt count as a "ranked road opponent" , lol I thought NW might be ranked but they wont be. We might not hve a ranked road game until OSU. Not that I care about that meaningless "stat".

That's where I am too.

Notre Dame, Ohio State, Bama--I can at least respect their tradition and history.

But MSU is "Johnny-come-lately" on the win scene, and their fans act as if they should be elevated to historic levels on par with the Legendary Teams. 

Keep it up for another generation, Sparty.  THEN we'll talk about winning traditions.

I always knew Devin Bush was an incredible, physically talented football player.  I didn't realize his intelligence was also off the charts!

He has now become a true "Michigan Man" in my eyes.

Fuck Sparty and their constant insecure inferiority complex.

Go Blue!!!

MSU is the worst - obnoxious, inferiority complex, scandal plagued etc.  Ohio State tried to catch up in awfulness with the Urban Meyer fiasco, it's a race to the bottom but MSU still leads.

Funny thing is, prior to Dantonio's arrival, I didn't really have that much disdain for MSU.  With Saban, I could at least respect them, although I wanted to beat them every time.

Dantonio, though... he's made this thing personal.  And he is not a likable man, at least not unless you're a Spartan worshipper.

I remember hearing about his arrival at Ann Arbor in 2010 after his heart attack, and telling one of the greeters to "get the hell out of my way" when he was given a friendly welcome. He HATES us.  I've said this before, but the guy could go 1-11 every year, but so long as that one win was against us he could keep his job. 

An interesting thing about him: it's noteworthy to see how many of his wins seem to be skin-of-the-teeth fluke wins.  I've said before that Dantonio is a good coach, but he is also an extremely lucky one from the perspective of having circumstantial fortune in his favor.

And on top of that, the indications that he (and Izzo) are sweeping funny business with their players under the rug while "investigators" look the other way is even more troubling.  Because the MSU faithful know that their chances of being a competitive team run the risk of going out the window if those two leave. 

From then on, I have been more than happy to see MSU humiliated on either the gridiron or the b-ball court.

Good, I'm glad he said it and feels that way. It's about time we matched their intensity. They have been playing with a deep hatred since the Hart comments. Hopefully the lopsided record in recent hostory has made our guys feel the same way!

I have to say that lately I hate MSU worse. 

Ohio state is just soooooo loaded with talent that I don’t expect to beat them. Which, I know is very sad. 

MSU on the other hand...they have inferior players but seem to have a better system... that works for them. And Douchetonio is a SMUG bastard and goes out of his way to troll us. And basically owns us the last 10 years. So who can blame him?  Combine that with “trouble with the snap” and last years debacle...and sometimes I feel like Lloyd sold his soul to the devil for that national championship and we are eternally stuck in this funk.

Rant over. Fuck them both.
