Dad is U of M alum. I graduated with both BSE and MSE from Michigan. I bleed maze and blue.
Story:
I met a hot, intelligent, awesome girl. She graduated from MSU. So did her father. Lame. But I married her because...hot, intelligent, awesome.
Long story short:
We fight over basketball.
She (and her father) admit historic and future football DOMINANCE by us! But Izzo is the past and future king (don't bring up Magic). They call us bandwagon fans for not supporting basketball while we weren't great. I won't indite anyone personally, but let's not fulfill that MSU opinion in the future.
Go blue. Beat the killers of original democracy.
I would date a communist, leper, Al Quaeda, outer space alien serving a life sentence in San Quentin...before anyone from Ohio State.
My next door neighbor is an Al Quaeda leper, with a conehead, who was paroled early from San Quentin. Shoot me your address and I'll send him right over.
Oddly enough, I dated a leper once. If I kissed her a certain way, she'd go all to pieces.
Yes, I know ... I'll leave quietly.
Most MSU women don't really seem to care much. It's the Sparty brahs that will fight you if you put up a Michigan flag or wear a Michigan shirt and remind you that MSU went to the only Rose Bowl in the history of mankind and Dantonio is a mixture of Bear Bryant, Fielding Yost, and Knute Rockne all rolled into one.
Agreed. Dated an MSU girl who was not a huge fan so was fine to be with. My wife is from U of M Dearborn. Would not touch a Buckeye with a 6 inch pole.

Beautiful woman maybe but on the great Mom I call bullshit.

... But I was in a serious relationship with an osu grad several years back. She was a great girl and not that big of an sports fan so her osu fandom was palatable. Her family was much the same, except for one of her brothers. However, I couldn't get over it, so we broke up. There were other reasons why we broke up, but the biggest reason for me was because she was an osu grad.

Two words for you.
Doggy style

went to East Landfill a few times to visit her. Needless to say it did not work out. I could not bring myself to go there continually. After I dumped her, I had a friend who wanted to go out with her. He ended up marrying her and I still see her occasionally. Kind of weird, but no regrets on my part.
No, sorry, can't do it.
I wore a UM shirt to her transfer orientation and a janitor told me I "should be shot in the head". Stay classy Ohio!

Have been with another Sparty, but only knew her for one evening, as you can imagine we didn't really talk about sports.

Live in Columbus, so unfortunately every girl I've ever dated has been a buckeye fan. Currently dating one of the hardcore variety. We almost broke up when they won the national championship, it was that big of a deal.
Fuck em all

My cool story, was I dated a girl in college who went to the same high school as Scott Dreisbach. She dated him in high school for a while. I thought I was pretty cool for a while since I was dating a UM Qb's ex, until she dumped me after a few months.
Dreisbach once tried to poach a girl I was with at a fraternity party. I don't think he put the full court press on, and he was fairly civil about it, but he failed nonetheless.
1) She never wanted to live anywhere other than Columbus, Ohio for the rest of her life. Seriously.
2) She had absolutely no sense of direction in her life for what she wanted to do for a career. This was someone who thought she could make part time babysitting into a career.
Thankfully it never got very far with that person. I'm now dating a Georgia fan, a team that I really have no problems rooting for, even when they have their annual "WTF Fall-Flat-On-Your-Face" kind of game.

Went to college in Columbus and have lived in Columbus for over 10 years, so that's all I've ever had.

No tosu girls, and the few Staters in my past were either not sports fans, or else had nothing to fight with, since we were wiping our feet on the Spartans pretty consistently back then.
But once back in the Fab Five days, there was this pretty UNC grad who caught my eye, and the interest was mutual. Things could have easily heated up, except I made some snarky comment about the Tarheels that was supposed to be hilarious. She answered back with a little heat, and the conversation escalated until we reached the "Well, this isn't going to happen now" territory. I suppose it was inevitable, but it would have been better if I'd shut up long enough to sleep with her once.
Live and learn.
But she never really cared much about sports. Now she owns more Michigan clothes than MSU, and refers to Michigan as "we" when talking about the game. I consider it a hostile takeover.
Kind of, but not really. My wife was born and raised in Ann Arbor and is also a die-hard U of M fan. However, like many kids from Ann Arbor who don't want to or can't go to Michigan, she went to MSU ( fortunately just for her freshman year before transferring to ASU and we didn't start dating until soon after she transferred). The best part about it is she gets legitimately pissed off if anyone brings up the fact that she ever was a Sparty.
If she went to Ohio State she would be a good fit.
is an OSU *fan.* *Fan* meaning she wears an OSU shirt and watches a game once a year. It doesn't really bother me, we have fun with it. If she was a diehard, I'm not sure it would work. Here's a great example of her OSU knowledge: she was sure the running back from their 02 season was named Maurice Claurice. lmao
Two degrees from MSU, in fact. Spartan background aside, it's still the best decision of my life.
(It helps that, while she pulls for MSU, she isn't rabid and barely follows sports. I get in trouble periodically when one of my sons and I revel in Sparty No! moments, but apart from that, it's not been a problem.)
I married an MSU fan (who I met at MSU so can only blame myself) who is also from Chicago so she is also a Blackhawks and Bears fan. We joke that we only root for the same team every 2 years (Team USA Summer/Winter Olympics).
My family is a Michigan family from a few generations back, but my mom's a Buckeye. I'm sure I've mentioned at least a few of the hijinks that ensued between my parents when they were dating.
For my part, yeah, I've slept with a Sparty. No regrets, man.
