Old news.
Worse than this is a plaque the staee AD had made....
and their fans don't sepell things well either....
Damn... I just missed it. (5:03 to 5:04)
Even better that she is the only one standing and everyone else looks disinterested at best.

Since we’re bashing State’s spelling, I feel we should strive to uplift ourselves as well: the correct word is “uninterested,” not “disinterested.” To be disinterested is to have no stake in something, to be uninterested is to be bored. The fans in question are all Sparties at an MSU game, hence they have a stake in the outcome and are not disinterested. That they are uninterested is probably the fault of refs and scUM fans.
I apologize for the pedantry but disinterested vs. uninterested is my second-biggest pet peeve, behind only forego vs forgo.
The "Michigan Difference" at work.
does forego vs forgo matter, in Fargo?
Go Grean!
President Obama also has Duke (!!!) winning the NCAA Title.
He might be stuck in a time portal, still in 2012.
The east region is the weakest, so I could see Duke coming out of it.
... can you blame him?
And in related news: water is wet, bears shit in the woods, the Pope is Catholic and dog bites man.
well .... i dunno. i'm old enough to remember when "is the Pope Catholic?" was an answer instead of a question.
And Chimps like Chicks?
But, does the Pope shit in the woods?
Bracak sounds like something a bird would say.
There's an apostrophe catastrophe in the van ad, too. Why TF does that ever happen? I can understand something like her's, but dropping it in where there's no possession going on (like "Fish Fry on Friday's") makes no sense.
Perhaps the fish fry is ON something of Joe Friday’s, and it was just an incomplete sentence as opposed to in inappropriate possessive?
Or maybe they only have one camper van for sale, and "van's" is actually a contraction.
My theory: it's a culture-wide impulse to sound more official, more formal, more erudite.
Like the increasing American use of the British usage: "whilst."
Or clinging to the false "rule" that sentences shouldn't end with a preposition. ("About what're you talking!")
Or capitalizing Words you want to Emphasize. (You could argue that it's reviving capitalization practices of the 1700s but that's a rationalization after the fact.)
This is the sort of bloody nonsense up with which I will not put
damn, you LSA nerds are funny
From my classical education, which occurred in the pre'smart phone Era, I've allowed myself to drift. Lazy. Weak minded, Twitter texts.
Whilst being a stoner-engineer hath no guilt in my gradual decline in adherence to the boundary's bestowed upon me by my 4th grade English teacher, I say to you Mrs Moffet, I do wish to, with perfection, express my boy to woman love unto you. You know what I meme.
Wow. Just . . . wow.
But you diverge.
For some reason I want to buy something smaller than an RV and has all the amenities without blowing my budget…
#vanlife??
First thing I thought of as well...targeted advertising is spot on.
I mean, that thing looks sweet.
In other news did anyone see Ben Vansurmens pro day at MSU? I don't understand how we didn't develop him I to a great LB with those athletic traits. He ran a 4.4 40, had a 42 and half inch vertical and some other crazy numbers. I know this doesn't always translate to football but dam this guy is athletic. Oh yea he benched 225lbs 29 times at 6 foot 1 239. Maybe he is one of these guys who needed to find the right position and develop for awhile.
All those numbers would have been the best for a LB at this year's Combine.
BVS (who appears to have possibly shrunk) tested pretty well as a HS senior five years ago:

The 40 and bench numbers are insane, agreed. His football ability might not be there.
Spartan Swire, Spartan Swill.
I'm down in Florida visiting my parents, and I decided to do my taxes while I'm here. The guy I'm using says that he grew up in Michigan and was recruited to play football by MSU. He says that he was shown around campus by none other than Bubba Smith. Apparently, as they were talking someone approached Bubba with a piece of paper and told him it was his test and he needed to sign it .I guess Bubba didn't play school.
Even their ads have bad grammar.
You mean "bad grammer"?
Little...bother?
So, you’re looking for a camper van?
Bracak was the president the offordable core act, right?
