MSU added Tate Myre as an honorary member of their recruiting class
Very classy thing to do. Michigan honored him on the field and MSU is making sure the story stays relevant and doesn’t fade to the background. Plus what the women’s team did really good showing from Michigan higher education. Sports are bigger than sports.

Very nice move on their part.
(HOWEVER, when Michigan honored him at the B1G Championship game and brought in his family, a bunch of little brothers were calling it a tasteless move and that Michigan was just being soulless opportunists. So …)

All I saw where MSU fans congratulating Michigan on that doing that. You must hang out in some ugly parts of the web.
December 15th, 2021 at 10:07 AM ^
There are non-ugly parts of the web??

Twitter... people were saying it was tasteless to invite his family to a game that early in their grieving process and also there were MSU fans saying "but he wanted to go to MSU." But I'm sure they'll think this purely symbolic announcement 2.5 weeks after the fact is just fantastic

Clearly the classless/classy line lies at some point between 5 and 20 days after a tragedy. We don’t know where that line is because we’re classless. Little brother does because they’re classy. Ho hum.

I saw RCMB posts attempting to trash Michigan for supporting Myre and the other slain Oxford students. According to some of them, Michigan somehow was classless for honoring Myre at the B1G championship game, even though Myre's family seemed to greatly appreciate the gesture.
Regardless, I will assume that most MSU fans took this in the spirit in which it was intended, and I'm sure MSU probably would have done something similar had they been playing that weekend. We similarly should applaud MSU's gesture here, and I'm glad to see that Michigan fans are doing so.

MSU Fans absolutely trashed Michigan's move at the B1G Championship and called it classless. Granted it's the underside of the pooper cooler, but RCMB was leading the pack of people labeling it as such. They are so delusional that they think Michigan will now copy them because we're unoriginal. Never mind they were honored at the Championship game...

Who cares? There is no hypocrisy on the part of the MSU football team. That's who is honoring Tate.
December 15th, 2021 at 12:00 PM ^
It's a very nice. I wonder if any of them will now see the contradiction and admit they were wrong?
Nevermind - I know the answer.
December 15th, 2021 at 10:00 AM ^
That's pretty cool. Kudos to MSU.

You both ROCK! Another version of....

Not quite to grain alcohol yet. Rye is nice though.
December 15th, 2021 at 10:11 AM ^
Did they add any of the B1G Refs?

Refusing to read the room to own the Sparty.
December 15th, 2021 at 10:14 AM ^
Cool move. Good job here by MSU
December 15th, 2021 at 10:20 AM ^
Great thing Sparty I hate you a bit less now ?
December 15th, 2021 at 10:38 AM ^
Like it!
December 15th, 2021 at 11:09 AM ^
How could anybody criticize UM's offer? And...........they accepted!
December 15th, 2021 at 11:39 AM ^
Respekt.
December 15th, 2021 at 11:46 AM ^
Nice gesture, but once again following the leaders and best.
December 15th, 2021 at 12:09 PM ^
Cool, but this kind of thing will never be 1/10000000th as impactful as voting and fighting for actual change. The people who create the circumstances that lead to this kid dying love that people do this and make it seem like an unavoidable tragedy.
December 15th, 2021 at 12:12 PM ^
Seems a bit Penelope to me…
December 15th, 2021 at 2:02 PM ^
I would take this at face value and thank them for keeping his memory alive so one day history won't repeat itself.
December 15th, 2021 at 2:09 PM ^
Good for them.
December 15th, 2021 at 4:49 PM ^
To MSU
December 15th, 2021 at 5:37 PM ^
Classy move. By both schools. As a person with fist hand knowledge of this the myre family had a great time in Indy. Tate was a huge MSU fan and wanted to go there. The Oxford football team got to visit MSU this past weekend and tour the facilities and attend the basketball game there. Coach Tucker spoke to them in the locker room. No need to bicker about little brother now. Just accept that this was a nice move. Ignore the rest.

Likely did that to counter the negative image they got from pulling that injured players scholi. Nothing they do is due to being good people.
