Sparty Hate Thread (Day 3)
A sequel to:
http://mgoblog.com/mgoboard/sparty-hate-thread-day-2
I have a thought concerning this whole Wal Mart Wolverine thing that I just brought up to a friend (copy and pasted):
I think in corporate terms it's a compliment. We're the mega giants of the academic/athletic world the same way Wal Mart rules the supermarket world. I think MSU would technically be considered Jewel-Osco because they only have relevance in one state and even then they are overrun by the competition. So, yes, you can call them Jewel-Osco Spartans.

State fans are like the guy who puts his entire paycheck in his wallet to go out to the bar. In the end flashing all 6 of his $20 bills didn't get him laid and now he has to make it on a quarter tank of gas until next pay day.
Sparty you are mediocre on a good day. Enjoy your mishandled success while it lasts.

One of my favorite things about UM-MSU week is hearing MSU morons saying really dumb shit in person or on the radio. If I have to endure an entire week of these 5 topics from MSU fans I might kill someone.
- Did you even go to Michigan?
- UMASS lost to you by 5
- ND would have won if Crist played
- Greg Jones can control Denard
- You can't play that style in the Big Ten
Out of all of these #1 pisses me off the most. Did I go to UM? NO. I have lived 20 mins from the stadium my entire life though and am from Ann Arbor. Did I get accepted to UM out of high school. Yes. Why didn't I go? I got a schlorship to play baseball at a smaller school (that actually didn't have a football team when I was there). I have never missed a game in person or on TV since I was 5, and I am 25 now. I love the school and program as much as anyone and have paid for my portion of season tickets every year for the last 9 years. I know people from MSU think people like me aren't true fans, to which I say go fuck yourself.
October 5th, 2010 at 9:35 AM ^
You hit the nail on the head, my friend. Those are easily the top 5 MSU topics. I always piss MSU fans off when they ask me if I went to Michigan. I say no, but I got accepted to MSU, but DIDN'T get accepted to GVSU right out of high school (ended up transferring to GVSU the next year). That shuts them right up.
October 5th, 2010 at 9:35 AM ^
I feel your pain. I went to UM because hey, they've got a pretty good engineering school, but I grew up 10 minutes from Spartan Stadium and I've been an MSU fan my entire life. I even tried to become a UM fan, had season tickets every year I was there, and even a couple years after I graduated, but it just didn't take. You've got to admit though that they make pretty good points on #2-5.
October 5th, 2010 at 12:35 PM ^
I personally like when academics or the phrase "better school" is used by people that didn't go to either school.
October 5th, 2010 at 12:46 PM ^
I answer No. But my two brothers and I were born at U of M Hospital in Ann Arbor. I believe this allows me to support the school.
Even though we were all born there, one of my brothers turned out to be a douchey Sparty supporter. I will be bringing him to the game on Saturday. I might be able to help free him from this madness. (This will be his second game at Michigan Stadium - he is yet to visit Spartan Stadium).
October 5th, 2010 at 1:21 PM ^
All you need to say is that you are a fan of Michigan. The number one thing that pisses me off about MSU students is that they all need to say that they got accepted to UofM but decided not to go.
October 5th, 2010 at 8:29 PM ^
But I do like your list. Typically when I see away game fans in AA I always say, "Welcome to Ann Arbor!" I have to tweak my kind greeting this week.
October 6th, 2010 at 6:02 PM ^
No actual chance of killing somebody, good luck coming up with something to greet them with this week.
October 5th, 2010 at 9:55 AM ^
why start a hate thread for our 3rd biggest rival?
October 5th, 2010 at 9:57 AM ^
3 hate threads.
October 5th, 2010 at 1:41 PM ^
4th, don't forget about ND!
Hell, some of us might even put ND over our second biggest rivalry. Long live the Jug!
October 7th, 2010 at 12:12 AM ^
i love my jug

Every time my MSU friends call me a WalMart Wolverine, I remind them that MSU was MSC until 1955. MSC = MIchigan State College of Agriculture and Applied Science. Then in 1955 they became Michigan State UNIVERSITY of Agriculture and Applied Science. Then morphing again into Michigan State University in 1964. If you ever really want to get under a Sparty's skin, refuse to call it MSU - keep referring to it as "MSC" (same place/different name). It infuriates them. Here's their rat tail of a fight song with MSC in it, not MSU: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwDaIgpH8rQ&feature=related
GO BLUE
October 5th, 2010 at 12:36 PM ^
That isn't that clever, really.
October 5th, 2010 at 10:21 AM ^
For keeping Value City Furniture in business because of their riots. Seriously, why are matches and kerosene so cheap? Shouldn't they have a Sparty tax in EL or something?
October 5th, 2010 at 10:22 AM ^
Hey MSU....
October 5th, 2010 at 10:30 AM ^
I always let the pizza delivery driver state grad hang out for a few minutes and catch a little bit of the game ;-)
but I don't tip. "why would I tip for something I could do myself"
October 5th, 2010 at 10:31 AM ^
I do tip my urologist.
October 5th, 2010 at 10:40 AM ^
Weak.
October 5th, 2010 at 10:31 AM ^
I took a Sparty's toothbrush and rubbed it on my weiner today
October 5th, 2010 at 10:34 AM ^
Butthole would have been much better. You dropped the ball.
October 5th, 2010 at 10:44 AM ^
You might wanna lay low for a while....
October 5th, 2010 at 11:15 AM ^
I don't really think he's trying too hard if he pushed one down a flight of stairs yesterday.
October 5th, 2010 at 10:48 AM ^
because of your avatar.
October 5th, 2010 at 10:49 AM ^
It is a pretty sweet avatar.
October 5th, 2010 at 4:55 PM ^
Good call. I wasn't even thinking about that
October 7th, 2010 at 12:19 AM ^
I took a Sparty's toothbrush and rubbed it on my weiner today
you better get your penis checked. hard telling what was on that toothbrush.
October 5th, 2010 at 10:39 AM ^
Oh, I don't hate everything that eminates from MSU. With the destruction of WQRS all those years ago (former Detroit Classical Station), WKAR occasionally has to fill the bill when I want to listen to classical music on the radio. Also, they do have a nice campus.
October 5th, 2010 at 11:09 AM ^
for me to poop on!
October 5th, 2010 at 10:58 AM ^
Not sure if this will translate well, but after moving to Washington DC, I randomly ran into a kid from my hometown in Michigan at a bar. We were on the same baseball teams as kids, but were a few years apart and hadn't talked in probably 10 years. I'm having a nice conversation with him and his friends, when eventually someone asks where I went to school. As soon as I mentioned Michigan, the attitude of the entire group went into psycho defensive mode (all Sparty grads). I'm pretty sure the first comment (completely unrelated to anything) was "you know we beat you guys in hockey last year, right? Our football team is going to be much better this year too. (2006)" . The conversation immediately went completely awkward as anything I said was spun into a self confirmation on the part of Sparty about how their sports teams were better than Michigan or getting better. Again, not sure this translated into MGOBlog, but it was one of the most immediate shifts in conversation I have ever witnessed. At the time, I was kind of shocked at how uptight all of them got as soon as they heard the word "Michigan".
October 5th, 2010 at 11:07 AM ^
Q: What's difference between East Lansing and a garbage dump?
A: Nothing!
BURN!!!!!11
October 5th, 2010 at 11:17 AM ^
MSU has a long way to go until they can reach OSU's streak of over 2500 days without losing to Michigan. Suck on that!
October 5th, 2010 at 11:38 AM ^
This MSU guy I know keeps posting things on FB about how UM fans are white trash, the Wal-Mart Wolverine thing. I respond:
So let me get this straight. You can't make fun of our football program because it has dominated MSU for 100 years. You can't make fun of our students or alumni because they're incredibly successful. You can't make fun of our institution because it's among the best in the world in undergraduate education, medicine, law, business, etc. So you decide to make fun of us because HS dropout nascar fans call themselves fans of our football team? That's like making fun of a guy because ugly people jack off to his victoria's secret model girlfriend. Those walmart wolverines are fans of UM football because we WIN SHIT. Nobody outside of MSU gives two squirts of piss about MSU football because it sucks. This is not rocket science.
October 5th, 2010 at 12:41 PM ^
they win shit? Hmm. And that was a terrible analogy.
October 5th, 2010 at 11:54 AM ^
for chanting we lost to duke, but we beat the cops one year
October 5th, 2010 at 12:33 PM ^
It has almost been 1,100 days.
October 5th, 2010 at 12:44 PM ^
I like that everyone has been talking up the MSU D as the first "REAL" defense that we may be facing, but I have a question - what's the difference between MSU's defense and Notre Dame's? They both have suspect D-line play, great linebacker in Teo and Jones, and then average to better secondary play? So while this will be a tough game I am thinking that this is one we can win? Thoughts?
October 5th, 2010 at 1:09 PM ^
i heard that kirk cousins still wets the bed
October 5th, 2010 at 2:26 PM ^
Can't wait to hear Sparty say "Wait till Basketball season".
And this kicks off the normal season downward spiral for Sparty to finish 5-7.
OSU is UM rival, MSU is tick on a dogs ass.
October 5th, 2010 at 3:58 PM ^
Isn't that what happened to Michigan the past couple years? I mean, minus the wait til basketball season part.
October 5th, 2010 at 4:31 PM ^
In all fairness, no matter what happens on Saturday, you guys will still suck at basketball.
Can you really blame State fans for saying that? For the last 12-13 years, that's really all we've had!
October 7th, 2010 at 9:34 AM ^
OSU is the top rival...to insist on saying MSU is not a rival is just nuts.
That is why this board has specific (and daily) hate threads started specifically for MSU.
October 5th, 2010 at 4:52 PM ^
Thanks to the OP for continuing the hate theme. I was undecided between letting it peter out or giving it a theme but it looks like we've still got a lot of unregulated emotion to vent.
