OT sort of - MSU chant
So I'm sitting here with my son at the Michigan State game, watching an absolutely mediocre Michigan State team keep Central Michigan in the game, and the chant that comes up in the middle of the third quarter is F**k Jim Harbaugh.
I suppose I can understand the hatred of the the school or even the football team, but wtf is the reason behind the hatred if JH?
BTW, MSU is going to lose a lot of games this year.

Why are you there in the first place
September 1st, 2023 at 9:29 PM ^
Very good question!

Enjoy the ineptitude!

My thoughts exactly. Even going there to see M is bad enough.
September 1st, 2023 at 9:30 PM ^
Who cares! They know what’s about to happen to them!
September 2nd, 2023 at 1:56 AM ^
Especially when CMU trailed them by a mere 3 points at the half.
They won on depth and depth alone. MSU is going to be putrid this year. I would bet the under but I don't want to make other people lose money by jinxing it.
September 2nd, 2023 at 4:22 AM ^
Yep, they’re totally Tucked
September 1st, 2023 at 9:30 PM ^
At least they have Wi-Fi in the stadium.
September 1st, 2023 at 9:49 PM ^
its easier when there are only 14 cell phones seeking service...
September 1st, 2023 at 9:56 PM ^
They have opposable thumbs?
September 2nd, 2023 at 10:01 AM ^
Who knew? Oh, wait, near genius nephew is at the game. (Wife's side of the family. I typically tell them that that if they didn't go to U of M it was because I didn't spend enough time with them in their formative years.)
September 1st, 2023 at 11:13 PM ^
14, you mean 1....
September 1st, 2023 at 11:15 PM ^
They don't have electricity in East Lansing.
September 1st, 2023 at 9:34 PM ^
Are we surprised that they’re more interested in insulting Michigan rather than cheering for their own team?
The greatest win in MSU history was App State
September 1st, 2023 at 9:37 PM ^
Because they have the penultimate inferiority complex and we live in 'lil brothers head rent free! A good 90% of them wanted to go to Michigan and DIDN'T GET IN! But of course they will say they did and they chose to be at staee!!!
September 1st, 2023 at 9:40 PM ^
No no no! Every single person going to MSU also got into Michigan, but chose to go to MSU instead.
September 1st, 2023 at 9:41 PM ^
OK, you've piqued my interest - who slots in behind MSU with the ultimate inferiority complex?
September 1st, 2023 at 9:51 PM ^
Sir Robin!
September 1st, 2023 at 10:05 PM ^
the second-to-last inferiority complex?
September 1st, 2023 at 11:09 PM ^
Penultimate is a handy word, but it means second to last.
Edit: See that Matty already chimed in.
September 2nd, 2023 at 8:11 AM ^
Pen State
September 1st, 2023 at 9:48 PM ^
I think you meant Hairball.
September 1st, 2023 at 9:50 PM ^
They couldn't get into the Brown Jug.
September 1st, 2023 at 9:52 PM ^
Synecdoche
September 1st, 2023 at 9:55 PM ^
Great post
September 1st, 2023 at 10:01 PM ^
So much for thinking that the past 11 months would have taught them that there's more important things in life than hatred for another school because of sports.
I've been around more than enough MSU and OSU people over the past 30 years, and I still maintain that the level of respect and class between UM and OSU is much better (ie. healthier) than with our neighbors an hour west of Ann Arbor.
September 1st, 2023 at 10:02 PM ^
Why do they hate Michigan and Harbaugh? Umm…?
September 1st, 2023 at 10:16 PM ^
Love and hate are same emotion. They once tried to hire him.
September 1st, 2023 at 10:05 PM ^
Yet again, we see that "little brother" is not really belittlement, for it is an accurate depiction of their entire sports culture at Michigan State. Even when we were having a rough patch with them not that long ago, that is who they were. It is what defines them.
September 2nd, 2023 at 1:02 AM ^
It’s like Brian said in his write up after the MSU game last year. This is just who they are. If memory serves, that was quite literally the title of his write up.
Any one of the coaches or staffers could’ve stopped the shenanigans in the tunnel last year and they didn’t.
This is who MSU is. It’s in their DNA. It’s like Chuck told Jimmy in Better Call Saul. “This is just who you are.”
September 1st, 2023 at 10:20 PM ^
Michigan State looks f*cking terrible. I say that as an objective fan w my maiZe and blue glasses off.
September 1st, 2023 at 10:22 PM ^
It's partly the fun of yelling a word that used to be considered forbidden.
Makes them feel like rebel individualists . . . as they do what everyone else is doing.
September 1st, 2023 at 10:27 PM ^
I'm just glad there were no felonies committed. Good job, little bro!
September 1st, 2023 at 11:17 PM ^
You'll never hear Michigan fans chanting "F**k Mel Tucker!"
"Extend Mel Tucker" maybe, but never "F**K Mel Tucker."
September 2nd, 2023 at 10:06 AM ^
Future chant, "Extend Mel Tucker!"
Wow, kind of ugly. For $10 M a year, I could probably handle it.
September 1st, 2023 at 11:29 PM ^
I would not want to be Mel Tucker's sweat towel this year
September 1st, 2023 at 11:29 PM ^
Rent Free.
September 1st, 2023 at 11:46 PM ^
They're jelly.
September 2nd, 2023 at 12:56 AM ^
Probably the only set of fans to wholly side with the NCAA over BurgerGate. Which tells you what you need to know.
They know they’re in for a shit season. Their glory days with Dantonio are over. Up and vanished like a fart in the wind. The chance to ruin Michigan’s season is all they have, so they will pour every last ounce of their being and essence into that pursuit.
September 2nd, 2023 at 6:24 AM ^
Their hatred of Jim Harbaugh is kind of like penis envy.
September 2nd, 2023 at 6:27 AM ^
Every opening game I hear the same thing about how bad MSU is, and it seems like that moment is the pivot point, and they take off and beat their opponent by a wide margin. When you posted this, was it 10-7 ?
September 2nd, 2023 at 6:50 AM ^
It was 17-7 after 3 quarters. If that happened to Michigan this place would melt down. The game thread would have 1000+ posts, and the majority of which would contain the words "fuck" and/or "fire"
September 2nd, 2023 at 7:21 AM ^
I wasn’t surprised by the CMU/MSU game being so close for 3 quarters.
Anything can happen in a rivalry game.
September 2nd, 2023 at 8:09 AM ^
That's awesome. Put that shit up on the bulletin board. And Fuck Sparty!
