Here's a nice, positive thread where we can set aside our differences and be complimentary your rival school (or schools)/teams/programs/coaches/fans, etc.

Sometimes, things get pretty heated in here and our teams go through very trying times, so it's nice to have a place that is a safe haven.

Let's hope that these positive affirmations can make even those of us that have had a rough time recently, feel better.

Caution: this thread is for uplifting, positive comments about a rival ONLY. Any post viewed as negative, overly sarcastic or snarky will be swatted.

Thanks in advance.

I think MSU alum, Gregory Kelser, is a fine basketball analyst and he seems like a nice guy.

And although George Blaha is "the voice of MSU football", I find him delightful.

I enjoyed the extreme sportsmanship displayed by the Spartan players and coaches in the aftermath of Mike Hart's absurdly rude comments.
I think they are to be commended for staying above the fray.

I would rather bang a bitch from MSU than UM.

Great post! Now we're acting like the in-state brothers* that we truly are.

Zip, feel free to include some of your observations about Jim Tressel here, too.

*twins, born simultaneously

Jim Tressel is God.

Are we allowed to do the compliment sandwich?

First you say a compliment, followed by something you can improve on, then another compliment. Is that cool, Glenn?

Mo, this thread is fluid, so it will probably evolve, especially if we all work together and don't hurt each other's feelings.

Go ahead with the framework that you have explained here, but tread lightly and keep the feelings of others in mind.

I'll keep my mouth shut for now.

It is commendable that you would be open to such partnership.

John L. Smith was a good recruiter

Keith Nichol would've been a Spartan if JLS was the coach. Then you guys wouldn't have to go through another year of hell w/ Brian Hoyer...

let's keep it positive, people

But it's not for the faint of heart or if you are easily upset.

NSFW!!

It was sunny in East Lansing for the game.

Mark Dantonio kinda looks like Davis Hasselhoff, and when I think of the Hass, I think of Pam. So basically watching MSU football makes me think of fucking Pam Anderson.

Here is a great one.

I root for MSU BBall when they play Kentucky. I love watching these assholes down here in Kentucky cry when they get beat.

BTW Kentucky is not a rival school....so I can talk shit about them.

MSU throws better parties than UM.

MSU is the 2nd best school in Division I in the state.

Michigan State has a good football team. If I were a voter in the Harris Polls, I'd give them a vote so they can be under the "Also Receiving Votes" portion of the standings....

I thought it was funny when that MSU guy tripped Chad Henne.

Tom Izzo is generally pretty cool

Where is Tre with his good feelings towards UM?

Raymar Morgan is a slightly above-average basketball player

Wil, you're on thin ice.

Michigan State never lost to Appalachian State.

Wil, you're on thin ice.


you didn't say how positive it has to be...maybe the rules of this thread are unclear...I'd like to know the policies

Its a good thing UofM football talent is prolly 3 times MSU's, cuz we didn't play a very inspired ball. Til we scored 2 TDs in the final couple of minutes.

edit:they played better, at times, then we did.

Jonal Saint-Dic has a cool last name.

Devin Thomas is sorta fast

Slang
Rudely sarcastic or disrespectful; snide.

Pretend you are picking up a hot chick for a date and her father is a MSU fan and you want to say something to impress him.

Enough with the backhanded compliments.

Keep it upbeat!

If their BBall team is going to lose a game to DivII(?) at least they lost a game to another Michigan school. Thanks for that.

Herb Haygood was a good player.

Percy Snow was a really good LB

I don't like Green, but White is a good secondary color for your unis.

Now we're rolling.

Morton Anderson could suck his own dick. At least that is what my friend's dad said, who was his roommate in college.


MSU has nice facilities.

MSU's hockey program is elite.



I never knew that.

Without MSU, San Jose State would be the best college team w/ a Spartans mascot

Charlie Weis used to be a lot fatter, he's done a nice job getting that under control.

Notre Dame football has great tradition.

OSU has a very large football stadium.

No one has thanked MSU for giving us Magic Johnson yet. Even though we dont want him to give us what he has.

Jim Tressel is still a bad ass.

I saw Damon Dowdell working at the American Eagle in Macomb Mall.

He helped me pick out a fine navy blue cardigan

I never knew that.

You see, we're learning here.

Before long, WTFDetroit will again be a safe place for all Michigan (State of) sports fans.

If you get two degrees from MSU you're a really smart person.

South Bend smells better than Columbus.

If you get 2 degrees from MSU you will most likely go on to ...not only subscribe, but actually read Harpers and Smithsonian.

If you get 2 degrees from MSU you can on to enlighten the masses. Plebians everywhere are better off cuz of MSU.

Not sure when, but

The Cavaliers know how to get to the FT line.

Breslin used to smell like Fart, but not anymore...

State fanz rool, Michigan fanz drool.

I see alot of maturity in MSU football. Even the one penalty when the guy hit Matthews out of bounds for an extra 15 yards, I could read his lips afterwards, and he said, "I did it because we want the challenge of stopping you on a shorter defensive field"

Mike Hart called Michigan State "Little brother". I think that shows alot of love for them.

Kalamazoo is a lot better town than North Platte Nebraska.

I remember when MSU won that Bowl Game Vs. Fresno State...


that was uh...quite a victory there...

they showed David Carr who's boss

When MSU beats UM in basketball...I expect our friend(s) to come back.

not w/o Oden...

If Chuck Norris was to go back to college, it would probably be MSU.

MSU grads are too good to be doing Infomercials.
well, not Glenn.

It is nice that MSU is going to allow Fred Smith come visit Michigan against OSU.

East Lansing is not Jeffrey Dahmer's home town.

I don't know any rapists that go to MSU.

You can't spell "Michigan State" without "Michigan".
