Diag Vandalized by sparty
SIAP. Just read that the block M on the Diag was tagged to read Msu on Sunday. Does anyone know why students are no longer protecting the Diag 24/7 in the week leading up to the sparty game? I was already disappointed with our students for their continuing late arrival at games regardless of kickoff time, and now this........

Yeah, that just links the same tweet from a Sparty Blog that I saw Sunday.

This isn’t fake news. I walked by the diag Sunday morning and it was vandalized.
October 18th, 2018 at 1:06 PM ^
Spelled correctly...Sparty is exonerated.
October 18th, 2018 at 1:11 PM ^
The vandalism is bad enough to begin with, but what's worse is they used a stupid spray can font instead of a dignified Times Roman.
October 18th, 2018 at 1:22 PM ^
Is there a Greek font? I doubt Spartans would use anything Roman.
October 18th, 2018 at 1:29 PM ^
Implying they would know the difference. Generous of you.

not very original!
UNLIKE "THE GREATEST COLLEGE PRANK OF ALL TIME" pulled off by Michigan Men in 1967.
October 18th, 2018 at 2:20 PM ^
I thought the Go Blue skywriting was the greatest prank of all time?
October 19th, 2018 at 12:21 AM ^
It's certainly up there.
October 18th, 2018 at 1:15 PM ^
It looks like it took 15 seconds. So they spent more time vandalizing the diag than studying for finals
October 19th, 2018 at 1:26 AM ^
Well in all fairness, it is worth more credits.

...Bringing a spray can to a knife fight...
October 18th, 2018 at 1:51 PM ^
A desperate move if I’ve ever seen one...

At least that spelled MSU correctly this year. Must have sent their valedictorian.
October 18th, 2018 at 1:53 PM ^
After all that practice coloring in school you think they would be able to stay within the lines
October 18th, 2018 at 2:59 PM ^
At least they spelled 'MSU' correctly
October 18th, 2018 at 3:16 PM ^
Good. I'm sure there is a pic of this in the locker room by now.
October 18th, 2018 at 3:16 PM ^
Why waste paint on another M? Just add the S and U.
Also, and I've felt this forever, it's shitty to spray-paint something on a campus because it's not a student who'll have to clean it; it'll be some staff member who has to stand in 40-degree weather and wipe off some shitty paint job.

As stated above, my fraternity (Theta Xi - although I am WELL removed from school) is the one that guards the diag. They are not allowed by UM to set up until the Sunday before the game, so hence why this happened Saturday night.
October 18th, 2018 at 4:12 PM ^
More than likely, this was done by dyslexic students from Southern Methodist.
October 19th, 2018 at 1:21 AM ^
Color blind too.
October 18th, 2018 at 4:34 PM ^
What we need next time around is a group of 40-something and 50-something alums protecting the Diag. Can you imagine the nonstop party that would need to end by 11 PM because all of us needed to go to work the next day? I volunteer.
October 18th, 2018 at 4:38 PM ^
Fortunately for the vandalizers they didn't have to try and spell out State
October 18th, 2018 at 4:57 PM ^
This vandalism is incredibly lame and probably took 5 seconds.
October 18th, 2018 at 5:33 PM ^
I saw students protecting in on Sunday, WTF happened to them?!?
October 18th, 2018 at 5:50 PM ^
Weak sauce

Freshman year Friday night before the MSU game in AA I along with several other cluelesses was assigned to guard Hill Auditorium against possible attack by Spartan hordes. The attack never came and next day M lost the game. All for naught.

Timely post...

Wow, how clever
