Spartans harass M players during warmups, Devin Bush marks up Spartan turf

[ED-S: Edited out the OP's opinion, reposted for news. Things already chippy in East Lansing

MSU players linked arms and walked through Michigan's warmups, bullying some in-state Michigan players along the way:

#Michigan spokesman says MSU players were 10 minutes late to the field for their march, “close lined” Lawrence Marshall and ripped the head phones off Lavert Hill.

 Bush's retaliation is making its way through twitter.]

Fuck off, OP. As noted, state walked through our players and reportedly took Hill’s headphones off his head. Want our players to be little bitches like you? I’m glad bush did it. Set the fucking tone.

Hoke, after spike incident, apologizes to Dantonio, nearly cementing our inferiority complex. 

Hopefully Harbaugh or Don Brown takes Devin Bush aside and says, "Now you have to back that up by kicking their ass."

In the scope of pregame rivalry shenanigans, this is very mild. Relax people. He's the one who will have to live with that clip if Michigan can't come through today.

Hell ya. Show some emotion and stand up for the maize and blue. Dont let them just walk through you and not expect something back. Msu will pay and devin bush will become their reckoning. Go blue.

That arm in arm walkthrough is peak Sparty. Lol. Would have loved to see Chase react. "Oh hey guys, just stretching here... Oh-exscuse me . Excuse me. Excuse me. Excuse me." Lol.

Anybody pearl clutching about Devin Bush needs to fuck off post haste. Those dipshits walk through late and start trouble with Michigan's players and you want them to just take it. This rivalry is ugly and this is part of it.

Perfect! MSU thinks this is the same mentally weak team from 8-9 years ago they can pull this shit on.

If this is what it takes for MSU to try and get an advantage, they know they don’t match up with us. 

Bush is gonna bring the wood and he’s bringing Hell with him. 

For all the people who are saying this gives MSU motivation, don’t you think it gives UM motivation!? You don’t think the shit MSU just pulled gets us pissed? 

Now the disrespect is equal and it’s down to talent and coaching

Am concerned Bush is gonna get overly aggressive and a helmet to helmet ejection. Let's hope he keeps his cool in the game.

Just go out and beat the shit out of Sparty and let Ward and the B1G handle the pregame BS.

 

If someone took a shot at a WOLVERINE then that should be addressed by officials before the game.

I love what Devin Bush did...he don’t back down from nothing.  He’s angry, and an angry Devin Bush is a very good thing.   When you play State, screw being polite and respectful... win the game by any means  necessary

Bush and the team need to temper their aggression into sound, fundamental football. No extracurricular.crap after the whistle pushing/shoving, or trying to take Lewerke's head off and getting a targeting call. 

You know Dantonio will be in the ear of the officials before/during the game, imploring them to watch out for Bush, Hudson, Metellus, etc.

Good for Bush. The pearl clutchers will cry, but this is a rivalry football game - not a gentlemen's day at the social club.  

Umich needs more of this, not less. Fuck Sparty. Go blue!

Yeah I agree that we are Michigan so we shouldn’t stoop down to that level MSU lives on BUT if you think from Bush’ point of view- Marshall & Hill are your brothers/family. I’m sure Bush would’ve responded differently if it was verbal but this was a Physical Altercation & cheap shots were made. When you can’t protect your own/retaliate face to face, you look for the next best thing to get even. I’m glad Bush stood up for his brothers & didn’t take shiza from anyone. Protect your own & Go Blue!

What a classless stunt by an immature kid.  Speaks to the program's lack of discipline.


Oh wait... that was our guy?


What a gamer, man.  Out there refusing to be intimidated; lots of heart.

This whole team has been very undisciplined all day. They’re letting Sparty bait them. I sort of understand but they look like punks today.

I'm not crazy about it, but again: did those same announcers decry Sparty's intrusion on the field during our practice time?  Did they talk about tearing a player's headphones off while Dantonio looked on and smiled "classless"?

Denounce Bush all you want, but don't give the Spartan team a pass for their "bush league" behavior.
