More Vandalism in EL
This is officially bad, and this crap needs to stop. Paint-filled water balloons? I really hope these are just some misguided fans, and not actual UM students or Alum...

Do you hate fun?
This is like so fucking low on the list of things to bitch about. No one's getting hurt and the property damage is minimal and reversible.

Eh, they hit the marching band members guarding the sparty statue at 4am. It's not as egregious as chucking paint balloons at random pedestrians trying to get to class. They targeted a group of people who, presumably, volunteered to be frontlines in the rivalry warzone. Hell, if I were one of the guys guarding the diag at 4am, I'd probably be excited at the prospect of seeing some action and having a story to tell in later years rather than getting through the week without incident.
This isn't nearly the outrageous indignity some people make it out to be. It's college.

is beautification. heck, they owe us for making EL nicer. send them a bill.
October 16th, 2015 at 12:20 PM ^
Also, I'm a little disappointed that we didn't go in with a paintball cannon armed drone strike.
Get your shit together for next year, engineering students.
October 16th, 2015 at 12:38 PM ^
I'm also a little disappointed at the lack of creativity. If you're going to do something, damn it, try your hardest.
October 16th, 2015 at 1:41 PM ^
why do they never use paintball guns to deface sparty stuff? A few crack shots and an F-body camaro would wreak all kinds of havoc.

Let's discuss hte ridiculousness of the phrase "rivalry warzone."
I hate MSU as much as the next guy, but at the end of the day, it's a football game.

Way to set the example on how to grow up.

Out for blood? Really? Go to the Gap and get another t-shirt, dude.
October 16th, 2015 at 2:55 PM ^
Yeah if they damaged my favorite shirt id be a little mad, but I would get over it.
October 16th, 2015 at 11:10 AM ^
Agreed (I think). This, in my opinion, adds nothing to the rivalry.
October 16th, 2015 at 11:11 AM ^
Killing 100 year old trees - vandalism.
Throwing paint filled balloons at random people - assault.
Throwing paint filled baloons at rivals before a game - harmless prank.
Not sure why I feel this way, but I do. It's like a senior prank. Somehow, there is a pass for these kinds of things. Mischief is the spice of life. But there is a time and place, as long as you don't overdo it.

If you get buy in from both sides, it can be like a fun game: ex - West Quad vs South Quad snowball fight.
If one side legitmately doesn't want you involved and you antagonize them... not so cool.
October 16th, 2015 at 11:26 AM ^
By that measure, do you think MSU band members were hoping for a quiet week?
I certainly don't. It's part of the game.

I can tell.
October 16th, 2015 at 2:11 PM ^
should comport when you've never been a student or part of the rivalry. Move on to the next thread.
October 16th, 2015 at 1:38 PM ^
This has been going on for decades.
Cheer up and don't be suck a puckered butthole.
October 16th, 2015 at 2:02 PM ^
This shouldn't concern you.
October 16th, 2015 at 3:13 PM ^
you mean like getting someone fired?

Bo appeared in my dream last night and said it was o.k. Carry on.

Wrong freaking shade of blue. Jesus people you've got ONE JOB........
Oh the humanity.
October 16th, 2015 at 11:14 AM ^
That's assault and battery!
Given the precedent of rape and guns being pointed at people resulting in players missing no time in that city, I am guessing this is a nonissue!
October 16th, 2015 at 11:14 AM ^
Couldn't have enlisted some engineers to design a more accurate water balloon launcher? This is the shoddy work I expect from MSU engineers

Blue and Gold?? Why the fuck is UCLA attacking Sparty? That's our job!!
October 16th, 2015 at 11:11 AM ^
I agree that this is more in the vein of "hijinks" than vandalism, but it's run its course now. We've painted each other's statues. Injustice avenged on both sides.
