Greatest game sign of all time
Last night's GoDaddy.com bowl had the greatest sign ever in the history of game day signs.
A 1-armed (yes, a guy with 1 arm) guy was holding up a sign that read "I Gave Up My Right Arm For Gus Malzahn".
Comedic genius. @LSUFreek even photoshopped the sign a few times.

BEST EVER
January 9th, 2012 at 11:41 AM ^
I'm not feeling it.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:43 AM ^
Neither is he.
January 9th, 2012 at 12:01 PM ^
I wonder if he could cop a feel on a chick and blame it on phantom limb?
January 9th, 2012 at 3:20 PM ^
for her to keep him at arm's length that's for sure.
January 9th, 2012 at 4:15 PM ^
When Michael J Fox was f-ing with Larry and blaming it on his parkinson's disease.
January 9th, 2012 at 12:24 PM ^
nice.
January 9th, 2012 at 12:02 PM ^
As long as it's him (the guy with one arm) making fun of it...I see NO problem. Went from "in poor taste" to "absolutely AWESOME!" when I looked harder into the picture and saw the guy literally had one arm.
January 9th, 2012 at 11:56 AM ^
Would love if it said "I'd give my left arm for a Win"
January 9th, 2012 at 12:13 PM ^
The joke is that he's missing his right arm already and would voluntarily give up his left for a win, thus leaving him with zero arms.
HUMOR.

For worst signs. MSU beat Michigan this year, those signs look moronic because of it. State won the division this year, making that sign even more stupid. And worst of all it shows Michigan fans holding up a sign about Michigan State at a Michigan game.
When fans take the time to put down other schools before cheering for themselves it is always stupid. It's "little brother-ish" as some would say. It's like State fans wearing more App. State gear than actual Michigan State gear. Root for your team and give credence to the fact that you care more about what is happening to some other team than your own.
I root for Michigan, and other fans should root for their team, especially at games in which their team plays.
January 9th, 2012 at 12:28 PM ^
I was embarrassed when I saw that.
January 9th, 2012 at 1:06 PM ^
Me too. Let's beat them and not make signs about it when we do.
January 9th, 2012 at 2:01 PM ^
Fraternity called a bunch of symbols... They always wear camo too... Bizarre
January 9th, 2012 at 1:29 PM ^
In fact, I would like to know who the douche was that thought of this.

Sparty has cried each of the last two years about not getting to the Sugar Bowl, "losing" the berth first to Ohio and then Michigan. When a Sparty player used the leverage of having a microphone in front of his face to whine in the press about his belief that Michigan didn't deserve to be there, it made Sparty "fair game."
If this was the days when Sparty was just another midlevel Big Ten team that beat Michigan one year out of three and never did much else, the "we should ignore Sparty" argument would be valid. In case anyone out there hasn't noticed, Sparty has won the last four meetings with Michigan. That renders the arguments that we should all use the ostrich approach with Sparty invalid.
A Sparty player used his leverage to tell football fans that Michigan "doesn't deserve to be in the Sugar Bowl." Some Michigan fans used a moment of even greater leverage to tell the country that "Sparty Nation" is a bunch of whiners. As will be the case more often soon, Michigan got the best of that exchange.
Because of the hatred Sparty espouses and their competition for the same recruits, what's good for Michigan is bad for Sparty and vice-versa. Sparty wanted to be a true rival: they got it. Michigan now has to pay as much attention to the rivalry as Sparty does. I am happy to see the fans taking the opportunity to belittle Sparty on national TV. They are richly deserving of the "honor."

The irony/stupidity of misspelling a purposefully misspelled word is pretty hilarious.
Got to love people from Georgia. From the Georgia/MSU bowl game:
January 9th, 2012 at 1:02 PM ^
Thank you very much.
I have a cousin who is a Georgia fan. I just sent him that picture and asked when the team changed its name to the D-Wags. An imginary plus one to you.
January 9th, 2012 at 2:31 PM ^
Thank you. Sending this to my girlfriend, who is a UGA alum. This is most good.
January 9th, 2012 at 12:14 PM ^
Still think the guy who made the touchdown Jesus sign with Denard and the cast of gameday and TREMENDOUS across the top has my vote.
January 9th, 2012 at 12:20 PM ^
My favorite sign was at a Maryland basketball game around 2002 that said "Juan Dixon Your Mouth"
Childish, but I still laugh about it.
January 9th, 2012 at 12:37 PM ^
My favorite sign was a Piston's playoff game against the Magic where a fat, short, white dude had a sign that said, "Shawn Kemp is My Dad".
January 9th, 2012 at 2:49 PM ^
Saw the same sign. The back of it said "Shawn Kemp Ate My Baby"
January 9th, 2012 at 12:46 PM ^
Mine was years ago before the Ohio/Michigan game where a sign read A.J. Hawk plays w/ my little ponies
January 9th, 2012 at 12:23 PM ^
I see a right arm, but no hand...
January 9th, 2012 at 12:31 PM ^
Pretty common congenital limb deletion, distal transradial. For whatever reason the left side is more common than the right.
Dude probably has a prosthesis at home (would guess a myoelectric for young healthy person) but left it off for greater comic effect.

1. "Ainge Packs Fudge"
-'88 Silverdome, playoffs, not pictured.
1a.
January 10th, 2012 at 9:14 AM ^
Nice... I've never seen that one before.
January 9th, 2012 at 1:00 PM ^
Not even close.
January 9th, 2012 at 1:12 PM ^
which one of those signs I like best?
Damn, now I'm hungry too.
January 9th, 2012 at 1:52 PM ^
this one is the best
January 9th, 2012 at 1:30 PM ^
"UGA is gonna Sandusky LSU so hard...even Joe Pa will report it."
January 9th, 2012 at 1:36 PM ^
Another good one I saw back in the day when Michigan hosted MSU (probably late 90's/early2000's) on ABC:
A-lready
B-urning
C-ouches
In East Lansing. GO BLUE!
January 9th, 2012 at 1:50 PM ^
I don't get it
January 9th, 2012 at 1:52 PM ^
Look again.
January 9th, 2012 at 3:23 PM ^
...and I see the As are highlighted, but I still don't get the joke.
January 9th, 2012 at 1:53 PM ^
The best sign I ever saw was when James "Fly" Williams played basketball for tiny Austin Peay State University in Tennessee. The sign read: The Fly is open, let's go Peay"!
January 9th, 2012 at 2:30 PM ^
Back when Marv Albert was being charged with a litany of harrassment claims (including biting a woman, cross-dressing, among others), this gem was at Michigan Stadium the week after, for a game televised on ABC:
A-lbert
B-ites
C-hicks
During pre-game, even the ABC cameraman (sideline cart guy) was laughing at that one...
January 9th, 2012 at 2:50 PM ^
Best sign:
"Tressel is not the answer to ohio state's problems. Tressel is the answer to the question "WHO LIKES FAT CHICKS"
January 9th, 2012 at 2:59 PM ^
A guy had a sign at Game Day. It read "My girlfriend goes to Tennessee, she left me for her brother".
January 9th, 2012 at 3:48 PM ^
My longtime favorite is from a Vikings game some years back. They had changed QB's from Warren Moon the year before to Brad Johnson. Hence the sign:
YOU'VE SEEN OUR MOON
NOW GET A LOAD OF OUR JOHNSON
Dan Deardorff was trying so hard not to say anything unseemly.
Honorable mention, from a college Gameday show sometime this season where they're all holding up signs behind Desmond, Fowler et al.:
MY ARMS ARE TIRED
January 9th, 2012 at 4:21 PM ^
"Tim Hardaway hates LSU"
<br>
<br>
January 9th, 2012 at 5:06 PM ^
My own favorite (I took a picture at the Sugar Bowl but don't have it on my computer) is:
HOKE FOR PRESIDENT
(not that I would wish it upon him)
January 9th, 2012 at 5:17 PM ^
There was one back in the 60's (I think) at a nationally broadcast Notre Dame - Navy game. Notre Dame fan had a sign that said:
We've Busted the Trojans, Now Let's Shoot the Seamen!
Or something to that effect.
