MSU Hate Week - Time to step up our game.
It's Wednesday of MSU week, it looks like we'll actually get the game in, and we have barely disrespekted little brother. Of the last 25 posts to the board, only two address the troglodytes or their coaching staff, and I know we can do better than this. At least half the posts on RCMB are about the game or the failure of their new coach (my favorite is the post speculating the More will be coming back a'la Bill Snyder). Let's start with a handful of quotes:
Come out of the tunnel fired up and mad dog harbs. Dont say anything. Dont even acknowlege that prick.
Normally it’s a crappy G5 team that initiates Michigan’s next great heisman candidate. This year it’s gonna be us....
I actually think this will not be quite as bad as people fear. We're all overreacting to Week 1. Remember 2016? When they were supposed to beat us by 50? It was much closer than people thought.
UofM isn't college football's biggest joke for the first week since the early 2000s and the Wal Mart Walverines are already beating their chests all over the internet
F UM. Take it to them. Smack them in the mouth. A few late hits and roughing the passer calls. You know- what MSU did to devin gardner and denard robinson.
MSU’s mission: knock out Milton by half time.

RCMB is doing more MSU disrespekting than we could ever hope to achieve on this board
October 28th, 2020 at 7:02 AM ^
Losing to Rutgers is probably disrespectful enough
October 28th, 2020 at 7:12 AM ^
It’s kinda hard to care when they don’t...
They could force 7 turnovers and we’d still win comfortably.
October 28th, 2020 at 11:15 AM ^
Don’t do that. Don’t put that juju on us.
October 28th, 2020 at 1:25 PM ^
Honestly, going back to not worrying about this rivalry is the most disrespekt possible.
October 28th, 2020 at 7:13 AM ^
They lost to Rutgers by TWO scores, they’ve already embarrassed themselves enough.
October 28th, 2020 at 7:15 AM ^
Rivalry week certainly has a different feel this year. I attribute it to Rutgers changing their primary color to green. At least they are putting in an effort.
October 28th, 2020 at 7:15 AM ^
Ostensibly, things have returned to normal in this rivalry. Go blue!
October 28th, 2020 at 10:30 AM ^
Water will always find it level.
October 28th, 2020 at 10:49 AM ^
Wonder how many students will be allowed in and how about the band? Will take away from the game some without them.
October 28th, 2020 at 7:18 AM ^
Logged in just to say F*ck those morons! I hope we curb-stomp them into oblivion. Spartan Tears on ice awaiting the beat down.
October 28th, 2020 at 7:20 AM ^
Spartan Swill!
October 28th, 2020 at 7:24 AM ^
I hate to admit that I have many Sparty friends (and coworkers) but not a single one has said a word about last weekend or this coming weekend. Besides someone telling me to “cheer up man, your team won last Saturday” (I’m a manager so I can get crabby occasionally) there hasn’t been a single peep! For someone who normally does not engage in the smack talk, I find this really refreshing. I always view RCMB as the extremist but maybe they are the ones saying what everyone is thinking??? If that’s true, I hope we blow them out Rutger 2016 style!
October 28th, 2020 at 10:07 AM ^
So you are their supervisor.
October 28th, 2020 at 10:58 AM ^
“That’s alright, that’s ok, you will work for us some day.” — Chanted during the home games against Michigan State during my college years. (Also: “Warm up the tractors.” Clap, clap, clap-clap-clap.)
October 28th, 2020 at 11:01 AM ^
Can't think why they'd refrain from dogging him.
October 28th, 2020 at 10:30 AM ^
they lost to Rutgers. At home (COVID variance acknowledged). By 2 scores We beat a respectable team soundly. On the road.
Of course they aren't chirping out of their pie holes. Let's hope that we win by as much or more than people are projecting. Because then you'll be free from their garbage for another year.
October 28th, 2020 at 11:18 AM ^
Obviously the 7 turnovers played a large factor, but I can't help but think the reason they lost is because they overlooked Rutgers and spent 95% of their practice time preparing for Michigan.
This year is going to be a 1 game season for them. I hope Michigan plays great and still stomps all over a fired up State team.
October 28th, 2020 at 11:25 AM ^
Likewise. I think UM will be very fired up as well. Harbaugh has taken this game very personally since the (alleged) altercation with his wife and some MSU fans in 2015. Devin Bush said something along the lines of UM players just absolutely despising MSU, more than any other team they play.
October 28th, 2020 at 1:12 PM ^
Sorry about your co workers from Staee. You must need to work twice as hard. Try recruiting other schools.
October 28th, 2020 at 1:29 PM ^
In my Royal Oak neighborhood (Northwood), U of M houses are vastly outnumbered by MSU houses.
As I've walked my dog around the neighborhood I've noticed an extreme absence of MSU flags. Last year this time they were everywhere. This year I can barely find one or two. Hell even the guy who has had one hanging from his porch every day for the last 10 years has taken his down.
Too bad they still have their Spartan license plates, we know who you all are. :-)
October 28th, 2020 at 7:33 AM ^
Just want a win.
OK, comfortable win.
Alright, you got me, a blowout.
This way, I can truly enjoy the game.
October 28th, 2020 at 7:35 AM ^
The last one, about knocking out Joe Milton, I could believe they would try given their culture.
Michigan's goal should be to be up by 30 at the half & have everyone play in the 3rd & 4th quarters.
Even if this means us hanging less than 60 on little brother, it will be worth it. Wisconsin is showing us that having experienced back-ups in 2020 is likely more important than extending the game time for starters.
October 28th, 2020 at 10:11 AM ^
Based on how 0 tolerance the officials were last year and the Pana-suck play, I have a reasonable level of confidence that any shenanigans will be strictly policed.
Also, I watched MSUs defensive line and our offensive line. My level of concern on that front is not high.
October 28th, 2020 at 12:01 PM ^
I also get the impression that Tucker isn't the sort who would be okay with that thug mentality that was rampant on Dantonio's teams. Obviously guys can go rogue but he strikes me as more of a nice guy. Not a good fit for their culture.
October 28th, 2020 at 7:37 AM ^
This year, try as I might, I can't hate MSU. I pity them.
And not the "ya hate to see it" pity. It's full on Bilbo Baggins thinking he should just stab Gollum and get it over with but stopping because, despite the whole "tried to murder him" thing, Gollum was just. So. Pathetic.
October 28th, 2020 at 8:20 AM ^
Oh Gollum.
October 28th, 2020 at 9:05 AM ^
This is amazing, don't think I've ever seen that! +1
October 28th, 2020 at 4:18 PM ^
MSU Gollum pinching out a touchdown.

October 28th, 2020 at 7:40 AM ^
It's hard to hate someone you feel so sorry for.
October 28th, 2020 at 8:54 AM ^
Never feel sorry for anybody.
October 28th, 2020 at 9:26 AM ^
Sparty fans are comparable to waste water treatment residue. The worst. (Buckeye fan says, "Hold my beer.") I have been so restrained with the fanbase around me. I'd love nothing more than a Rutgers beatdown and will show no sympathy. This is the byproduct of their inability to rise to the moment and act like they have been there, even when they hadn't. Classless douchebags, as a mass. The next few years will be such sweet karma. Saturday will be glorious.
October 28th, 2020 at 9:41 AM ^
I guess what's hard for me is that the worst ones always seem to disappear when MSU sucks. So all that's left are the ones that you feel bad for. Maybe I'm just a softie ?♂️
Username checks, btw
October 28th, 2020 at 11:11 AM ^
Agree completely. I will never forget how shitty they were during the peak Dantonio years. He was a walking inferiority complex and they all ate it up.
I legitimately felt bad for Rutgers in 2016. I would never feel that way toward MSU.
No fucking mercy. Ever.
October 28th, 2020 at 7:43 AM ^
This year little brother is coming into the game on crutches and with a head injury. Not quite as fun beating up on your little brother when he’s all fucked up, but I’ll take a comfortable win nonetheless.
October 28th, 2020 at 8:03 AM ^
I'd still have fun.
Weren't those guys having the time of their lives when they had to face RichRod's 128th ranked defenses? Or when they had to go against Brady Hoke's offensive lines, who couldn't block for a middle school football team? It did not make one damn difference to them. They were ten levels past delirious with joy during and after every game.
So fuck those guys. Fuck everything about them. Run up the score. Do not take your foot off the gas. Destroy them. I promise I will still enjoy and love it even though some may think it's "not as fun." Fuck MSU.
October 28th, 2020 at 9:25 AM ^
I'm with you on this. Between the back to back road games in 13 and 14 and trouble with the snap, there is no reason to lose motivation to beat them by as much as possible anytime you get the chance.
October 28th, 2020 at 10:53 AM ^
+1K^ I want ruthless destruction with no opportunities for horse shit cheap shots against any of our guys and especially Joe because he will be either:
1. following a stampede of maize and blue into the end zone.
2. Effortlessly throwing darts as if it were a 7 on 7 drill.
3. On the sideline watching ALL of his teammates, down to the last walk-on, taking his opportunity add to the pile of points, sacks, forced fumbles, pick-6’s ect.

Since you got a shout-out in Spencer Hall's most recent article, we're going to need you to step up your game and start living up to your username.
October 28th, 2020 at 7:47 AM ^
When you can insult your rival with one word and it ends the fight, it kind of takes the fun out of it.
October 28th, 2020 at 11:01 AM ^
Is that one word "Rutgers"?
October 28th, 2020 at 7:50 AM ^
"MSU’s mission: knock out Milton by half time."
Given who recruited and "developed" those young men for a few years, this wouldn't surprise me at all.
October 28th, 2020 at 7:59 AM ^
I hate you.
I hate you.
I don’t even know you, but I hate your guts.
I hope all the bad things in life happen to you, and nobody else but you.

October 28th, 2020 at 8:09 AM ^
Big brothers don’t waste time hating the little brother. Instead, they know exactly what to say to tease him and get him to completely flip out. It’s much more satisfying and fun.
October 28th, 2020 at 8:17 AM ^
I mean, the amount of garment-rending that Michigan State fans did after their game against Rutgers almost provides enough fuel for this thread in itself. The person highlighted on "Roll Bama Roll" as describing their short-term forecast a "like JLS, but more pathetic" got a chuckle out of me anyway...
October 28th, 2020 at 9:35 AM ^
I have to admit, yesterday's "John L. Tucker" line got me laughing pretty hard. And then, "Bobby L. Tucker" just about gave me one of those laughing spasms that kept me from breathing.
October 28th, 2020 at 8:17 AM ^
Being a non-native Michigander, I am not a "hater" in these regards. I grew to prefer the U of M for positive reasons. The lack of character of Spartan icons, Dantonio and Izzo, saddens and disappoints me.
Saturday, I want to see Michigan come out and calmly, without any fanfare, just pound the Spartans' pompous asses into the turf. Here, there is no margin of victory that is too great.
October 28th, 2020 at 8:33 AM ^
What game plan do you think msu comes with? I could see them running a lot to start the game and try to manage the clock to limit possessions.
Of course, if they get behind late, they would be forced to throw more in the second half.
I watched both Rutgers MSU and Michigan Minnesota. I was not very impressed by the MSU offensive and defensive lines, but Lombardi looks much better at QB than he did last year.
