uhhh, ummm, ohhh boy, here are these same comments that always happen when they win anything...
douchebag
December 6th, 2015 at 1:36 AM ^
And take all the staplers on your way...
December 6th, 2015 at 2:50 PM ^
I think you'd make a better Spartan fan than Michigan fan. So there's that.
December 6th, 2015 at 12:54 AM ^
No class. Sparty shows his...
ASS
December 6th, 2015 at 12:54 AM ^
He couldn't see Archie past his large proboscis.
December 6th, 2015 at 12:54 AM ^
The announcers using his shoulder as an excuse for his bad passes was getting real old too...wtf

There goes my impression of Cook as Kirk Cousins (who seems to truly be a good guy, misplaced loyalties and racistly-named current team notwithstanding) version 2.0. Most clips I'd seen of him fit the Cousins mold. (It's not Cousin's fault he got drafted by that douchebag Dan Snyder's team.)
Truly a douche move by Cook. Even if Archie Griffin were a paid intern at FSN, you don't treat other human beings that way (one of my fundamental life principles, FWIW). The fact that Archie Griffin is a living CFB legend makes this even more douchey.
December 6th, 2015 at 1:02 AM ^
At the end of the day, Cook is the loser. He still lives in Lansing.

I'm just impressed because I'm not sure I've ever seen a more douche move in my life. I'm kind of in awe that someone can act that extremely douchey. Wow.

Dude, If that was a Michigan QB doing that to Archie freaking Griffin, most here would his laud guts and his dedication to being a Michigan Man/properly hating all things OSU. We're all just pissed that it's State and not us.
December 6th, 2015 at 2:15 AM ^
You are incorrect.
December 6th, 2015 at 2:52 PM ^
Nope.
December 6th, 2015 at 1:07 AM ^
You guys don't actually care, you are just looking for an excuse to get mad at MSU because they won.
Grow up.
December 6th, 2015 at 1:11 AM ^
We don't need any additional reason to dislike MSU; we're there already.
What you don't apparently get is that some of us respect college football history, and Archie Griffin is one of the greats in the game. For a guy on a team that is constantly bleating about disrespek, Cook showed no respect whatsoever to the only man to have won two Heismans.

There's definitely some truth to the "we really don't care about this incident."
Cook came out and apologized. It's totally reasonable that he was paying attention to the guy talking and thought he should just get over to that guy.
They do these MVP award ceremonies so half-assed and disorganized, it's reasonable that it was a mistake.
Maybe he did it on purpose and is a total douche. But if I take off OUTRAGE goggles, I think it's much more likely it was an honest mistake that came off as a douchebag move.
Whatever.
It's not worth any of our time to think twice about how MSU's fucking B10 trophy ceremony.
December 6th, 2015 at 10:15 AM ^
His apology was pathetic and made it worse.
Classic "I'm not actually saying I did anything wrong, sorry if you thought I did".
December 6th, 2015 at 2:52 PM ^
Yeah, no. You are wrong.
December 6th, 2015 at 1:07 AM ^
not to mention anybody with a lick of class. What a dick move.

I wasn't watching too closely at the end, but I remember being surprised there was a trophy named after Archie Griffin, and that he was there and then suddenly he wasn't. Watching this... Poor Archie is showing his class by still smiling. And Cook... Wow.

A lot of scouts will realize the guy's not liked by his team if he isn't the captain. Surely a lack of leadership as a QB lowers your draft ranking.
Not only does this show he isn't liked, it shows he isn't very smart either in realizing this.
December 6th, 2015 at 3:00 PM ^
I know a lot of Spartans just can't help it. Maybe he's just a douchebag by nature?

Apparently he didn't realize what was happening, and spent a good amount of time profusely and personally apologizing to Griffin on the BTN set after the ceremony.
Sounds like he did the right thing to rectify the situation. Sometimes things aren't everything the internet wants them to be.
December 6th, 2015 at 1:36 AM ^
December 6th, 2015 at 1:40 AM ^
1. Where did I say he was a saint?
2. You really think he's hitting his Twitter feed in the five minutes of celebrating with his teammates and then showing up at the BTN set?
Yeesh. I understand wanting to hate our rivals. A college kid made a mistake on national TV after winning arguably his program's biggest game in years. He manned up. Stuff the cynicism for a second.

Having weighed the evidence (which is little bit interesting) here, I'm declaring Cook a DOOSH.

December 6th, 2015 at 1:37 AM ^
Well shit, I was getting a good ol' hate on. Way to ruin my party.
Seriously, good on Cook for realizing what he'd done, but I still don't like him.
December 6th, 2015 at 10:04 AM ^
I don't think Cook gives a shit what we think. He will be a millionaire in less than a year.
