Takeover of Spartan Stadium

Submitted by UMxWolverines on October 29th, 2016 at 5:09 PM

Give yourselves a hand. I'm on my way home from East Lansing and I'd say there was at least 15 or 20 thousand in maize and blue. Way to do your part.

As much as I hate to give them credit, Sparty's team represented their school a lot better than their fans did today.

A friend texted me a photo. From his perspective it was half and half. And he said everytime McDoom touched the ball, it was a very loud DOOM.

Could hear the DOOOM on TV - that let us know we were well represented. The broadcast didn't really show wide shots of the crowd to see how many of us were there.

The broadcast seemed to go out of its way to show solitary M fans surrounded by Sparty.

I bet my life it wasn't 50/50. Always seems that way when a visiting team brings support. But it's never as large a % as you think it is.

Wasn't 50/50 but I think we had more than OSU did a couple years ago which is impressive considering how many they had:

The O-H-I-O chant is making its way around Spartan Stadium and it's beautiful. https://t.co/sgmHQpdOUA

It was awesome. You could definitely hear it in the stadium whenever Michigan scored there was plenty of Michigan supporters. Great job by the Michigan fan base to represent that well in enemy territory.

half. Wish we would have gone back to Eddie in the second half, but that sound was impressive and you could clearly hear it on both the TV and radio broadcast.

The roar of the crowd in the 1st quarter on that first 4th down stop...I heard the screaming on the radio and started to panic thinking MSU converted until Brandy said that was the Michigan fans cheering.

Well done, fans.

Same thing. Was walking out of the room and the TV roared and I turned around in rage... then realized it was the Michigan fans present cheering what I already knew.

I was really wondering about this. From the broadcast you couldn't see many Michigan fans, although you could hear them at times.

I enjoyed the stadium get decidedly more maize and brew as the 3rd quarter went on. Too bad we didn't put them away in the 4th or it would have been mostly wolverines by the end.

I guess harbaugh got the yips after the speight int. We completely abandoned the pass in the 3rd and 4th quarter. Then you have the refs calling us for everything the final 15 minutes. We should have won by 20.

That INT was unSpeight-like. Looked like Harbaugh went vanilla after that and put the game in the hands of the defense + Kenny Allen.

It was really the only bad pass he had all day. I would have thrown on 1st and 2nd down since they were obviously selling out against the run.

Nick Fink's is actually a tavern in Comstock Park, just a couple minutes north of GR. Supposedly it's the oldest drinking establishment in all if Kent County, dating back to (I think) the late 1800's. Have had many a beer there over the years.

It was great. I was in section 17 and I would say it was about 30% Michigan fans in my section. A sparty near me was getting annoyed with all of the go Blue cheers in the 4th quarter.
