    Again, it's a RIVALRY and despite U of M's insistence that we are second fiddle, fine. Why you so upset then?


    Famous Bill Walton quotes:

    "Shaq's arrogance is an insult to people who think."

    Bill: "What, Phoenix? Are they still paying you?"
    Jalen: "Yeah, under the table."
    Bill: "Yeah, just like at Michigan."

    Here's the difference. When UM wins and is accused of arrogance, it's because one or two players lost their mind and said something they shouldn't have. I have never claimed that what Mike Hart said was classy. It wasn't.

    But there's a different between one player saying something or reacting in a certain way and a whole team behaving without class or someone putting in time and money for a damn billboard. MSU planting a flag at ND was classless. Digital billboard = classless. UM may be arrogant, but there is still an effort to keep some dignity. MSU, meanwhile, has shown that being the better team is such a rare feat that they have no clue how to handle it.

    It's the difference between the football player who scores and hands the ball to the refs, maybe hugs or slaps helmets with a handful of teammates - vs. Chad Johnson. Nationally people recognize Chad's talent but think the rest is a joke and that he's a headcase looking to draw extra attention to himself. After a little while, look what it has done to his value. His team will threaten the Lions for worst in the NFL and he's no longer the top WR on the team (or at least the top option).
    We had subs. It was crazy.

    I don't mind Sparty celebrating. It's been awhile since they've been able to do so. I'm sure things would get excessive in Ann Arbor if/when we FINALLY beat OSU again.

    Party on Sparty!

    With each passing day, that elusive victory over The Badass goes farther into the future.

    The sweater vest isn't exactly killing it these days, either.

    The Big Ten really blows, as far as I can tell.
    Find a new slant.

    Now we'll have a First Lady that I can finally say I'd actually love to boff.

    This is so hypocritical I cannot take it. You say that it's ok to be arrogant because of 1 or 2 individuals. Then you say that its classless when a whole team or individuals take action. So which is it?

    ONE person put up the billboard, not a group of individuals or the team. One man.

    I stated previous classless acts by U of M that have gone on for decades. It's what happens in a rivalry. Deal with it. You don't like it, win next year and shut us up. Take your lumps and move on and get over it.

    I'm surprised it took this long. I thought there'd be a post from him at about 7:01 Saturday night. And what the F is he talking about?
