Sparty Spring Game on BTN.
Damion Terry gets injured due to live qb play.
I'm watching on mute.
Patch design being indentical to Michigan's design they used (they didn't even wear a patch this year) isn't a coincidence.
Why can't they just get a life and leave us alone? They won the Rose Bowl and still seem to care so deeply about a team that has lost two straight restaurant bowls.
Little Brother will neber get old. Staee will never get old. Would you have us refer to them as "THE Michigan State Spartans"? Or perhaps maybe "Our Lords"? No. Little Brother refers to their mindset. They could go 10-0 against us the next decade and the chip would still be on their shoulder. The inferiority complex is not going anywhere, nor is their fear of our inevitable rise.

Our inevitable rise
Cheap talk, defined.

Nope.
Watching the Tigers leading the Twins (Detroit leading 2-0 in the bottom of the 3rd right now) and watching the Red Wings at the Bruins at 3pm are much higher priorities.
Uh Tigers, and Red Wings are both on. Get the fuck off of the MichiganGoBlog Message board wth your staee spring game thread.

Well until the coaching staff starts asking me for a scouting report on opponents, I will leave the "sizing up" part to them.
So I guess you have no interest in Brian's writeups about our opponents each week either.
I agree that the little brother stuff has been lame for several years, but why is a post about the spring game of one of our biggest rivals so much more ridiculous than the weekly what are you drinking post?
I drink because of little brother.
The whole Little Brother thing was a response to Mark Dantonio calling for a moment of silence during Michigan's upset to App State. Was it an unnecessary comment by Hart? Yes Was he and other Michigan players alone in their jabbing? No
The Sparty game from 2013 was just availabe on BTN.
A national TV audience heard the quite audible chant of "little sisters" over and over as they humiliated us. Beware karma.
Have had more success recently obviously and they have a better coaching staff IMO but what they don't have is UM's resources, facilities, brand and tradition. We'll be kicking their asses soon enough with or without coach Hoke.
Last time I checked brand and tradition doesn't win football games. Michigan basketball certainly doesn't have the tradition but they are bringing in the wins and that's all we care about.

You sound like a Notre Dame fan talking about any other team.
You do know Since the 50s, they have 3 non-bs(1 consensus, 2 shared) national championships to our 1(shared) right?
Watched some of the 1st half. Their D line looks really good, especially their DEs, some Cooper guy looks like he might be good. Other than that, meh, it wasn't that impressive.
Rose Bowls MSU wins, or how many more games they take in the rivalry, they'll always be little brother to me.
pointless drills did they run?
Thought their D line was really good, secondary was really good, LBs, meh. O line, meh. Receivers, TEs, and QBs looked pretty good.
Guess they had 35,000 fans there. Whatever.
what a month of better weather will do for crowd support
I don't think showing up to a glorified practice to watch drills is indicative of one's fanhood.
Did not watch but saw this on the twitterverse - Yay! Awesome news. Blah.
@AllenTrieu: After today's visit to #MichiganState, DE Jashon Cornell says the Spartans are #1 on his list
Also that "Cooper" kid is their RS FR next Calhoun, a 3 star of course; a guy UM gave up on when he got injured in HS. He has supposedly been their most impactful guy in spring practice after he went from 198 lbs to 245 in one offseason.
They are starting to put together a crew of 4 stars (and now 5 with MM) on their DL and they already were developing their 3 stars into impact players. Dantonio is to defense what Beilein is to wings/guards. They have 2 guys projected to go in the first round next year off the defense, one a 2 star and one a 3 star.... after this year's 2 star 1st round pick. Just our luck that in the sport early development means you get to see a player for 2 years we have the staff, and in the sport early development means you get to keep them for 4 years (as they redshirt almost everyone) they have the staff.
Wake me up when someone who does not wear Maize and Blue glasses thinks UM has a legitimate chance to beat Sparty in Spartan Stadium 3 times in a 5 game series. Hell I'd take 2 at this point.
I have some respect for what their team has become, and although I can't stand Dantonio, he is doing some things there that are worthy of respect. It's their fans that I will never ever be able to abide. Just the worst bunch of cretans on the planet and I have to deal with them all the time.
As far as Cornell...
“I noticed that defense is all world and I see myself playing in that defense in the future,” Cornell said.
Freaking great. :(
Yep it sucks. Don't think the UM fanbase who moved / live out of state realize how difficult this is if you have Sparties around you daily with the football program like this and MSU turning into Wisconsin of our backyard. I imagine if I lived in California or Texas it would just really suck hard core one day a year. Has become insufferable....
As for Cornell, welp we are at the stage you root for Notre Dame to win his talents over MSU. Good times.
and do you know what sucks hard core? The number of alleged Michigan fans that have given up. The ones that refuse to look at 2011 except as an anomaly and see 2013 as the new norm. But it gets better, or worse depending on your POV, many alleged Michigan fans, many on this blog site, have openly suggested that a winning season is absolutely the worst outcome for the Michigan football program. Now that is sucking off Long Dong Silver through an exhaust pipe hard core.
