Sparty's nightmare February
I'm not one usually to pile on, but holy crap, if I were an MSU fan I would bury my gear in the back yard in shame. Quick recap.
1. Awful finish to recruiting class, with a bunch of embarrassing misses.
2. Defense best player Reschke rumored to be voted off team after racist texts revealed following teammate boinking his girlfriend.
3. Get pounded in bball by UM. Izzo cries about it.
4. Starting DL spits in officers face, story breaks.
5. Ongoing investigation about team doctor and sexual abuse.
6. 3 players and a staff member suspended for sexual assault.
7. Starting OL quits team because it's not fun.
8. Band director accused of sexual harassment.
9. Massive on campus fight with a beating and robbery that may have involved football players.
Wow! On second thought, they shouldn't bury the gear, they should burn it. And it's only February 9! I've never seen anything like this. Mark Hollis can't be sleeping much at night.
[Ed-Ace: Locked the thread. The OP is fine. The sexual assault allegations are not a joking matter, however, and much of what was in the comments crossed that line. That is not rivalry trolling material. The basketball team gave you all more than enough of that on Tuesday.]

Your point about it only being February 9th is a good one. I wonder what will transpire over the next month between 2/9 and 3/9?

It started with the punt. Those fuck humpers thought were gifted by the footballs on a play that has 0.001% chance of happening. Those fuck nuggets response? Arrogrance, saying "they own us", asking "where are the wolverines", having their 5th senior QB (who was not a captain) taunt our crowd after he did nothing that game.
The aftermath? LOL BAMA, MIDDLE TENNESSEE STATE, 3-9, FIGHTING WITH 2-9 FURMAN, SEXUAL ASSAULT CASES, A SUBPAR RECRUTING CLASS, LOSING RECRUITS TO COLORADO STATE, LOSING RECRUITING BATTLES WITH SOUTH ALABAMA, UNABLE TO FLIP A WALK ON AT NORTHWESTERN.
Those fuck poopers can go fuck themselves with a cactus. Can't wait to lock them into the big house.

This post needs moar fucks in it.
February 10th, 2017 at 2:06 PM ^
a "fuck pooper" fucking themselves with a cactus creates awful imagery. And that's without me truly grasping what a "fuck pooper" would look like.
I enjoyed the post. 5 stars.

OP forgot the ex-MSU gymastic doc/prof charged with sexual assulting girls some weeks ago. Ghastly. Though technically it wasn't in February.

They must have a chip on their shoulders because they keep proving us wrong!
February 9th, 2017 at 9:41 PM ^
If it werent for the sexual assault part I would likely laugh. But now Im just sad. We don't need a Baylor North. Maybe its time to revert back to full time agricultural institution.

The problem with us establishing anything resembling a rule, of course, is that the first thing people don't do is take a cue from the Mod Sticky before posting, so at best we're looking at a guideline which is enforced more strictly than the other guidelines.

I am here for the grave dancing.

I don't know where the rumor started, but that fight was completely unrelated to the football program. It happened several miles from campus in south Lansing. There's video of it on Facebook, and none of the participants look like they've spent any time in the weight room.
Also be careful about the words you choose. Four people were suspended in connection with a sexual assault, not "for" sexual assault. Subtle but important difference.

First I'm hearing of this "massive fight" that "may have involved football players".
Closet I could find was this.
Anything else is pure speculation.

As they say in the stock market - the "Lynn Henning character" top is in.

this. so much love for it.

2016 wasn't exactly peaches and cream for Lil bro either.

Yes, I think you are piling on. This is a very sad story. (Really, collection of different tragic stories.) There are so many overtones with the background of the players, the frustration of losing, trust broken, all kinds of things.
Look. Like every Michigan fan, I want to always beat the Spartans. But some of the elitism and hatred from Michigan fans is pretty sad. Doesn't reflect well.
When Michigan fans act like this, I feel like we're the bad guys in the movie Karate Kid. I feel like we're the snotty fraternity kids in Animal House. I feel like we're the emperor and his coterie in the movie Gladiator.
Be thankful for the privilege you have of going to Michigan or being a Michigan fan. You've got a great team. Focus on the positive. Don't focus on just hitting someone when they're down and taking glee in a team going through lots of misfortune.

I mean I certainly feel bad about the sexual assaults and the victims involved but as far as how these things impact their play on the field, I'll hit them when they're down. Remember when their arrogant coach said that "pride comes before the fall" or "where'd all the Wolverines go." They called their coach the dean of discipline and now they are back to being the mediocre program they've always been before 2008 with off field problems galore.

Then our 3-9 happened. Losing 7 of 8 to those guys happened. I had to listen to people tell me, and my little kid, that "Michigan sucks," but not just as a football program, as an institution. I had to hear all the cat-calls and comments about how much better MSU was than Michigan, but not in any realistic kind of way. They have an awesome agricultural sciences program and teaching program. Michigan is better in almost every other way academically and our olympic sports have been nationally elite for decades. But, that didn't stop one of my daughter's teachers referring to her Michigan sweatshirt as a "form of child abuse."
Imagine the ending of Karate Kid if Ralph Machio taunted the shit out of the Cobra Kai over and over again. Then told Johnny how he was going to screw his ex girlfriend, and there was nothing he could do to stop it. After a few minutes of that, I would no longer see Johnny as the bad guy and would thoroughly enjoy watching him beat the shit out of Ralph.
I'm certain that at some point, I will go back to feeling like I did before. But for now, in response to "where are all the Wolverines?!", well, I am thoroughly enjoying watching your program turn to ashes, Mark.

and you realize that Daniel brinig on a lot of the stuff himself. He goes looking for a fight. The bathroom scene at the dance especially.

Not OT. That's why.
February 10th, 2017 at 7:06 AM ^
There's a lot of crap going on at a rival school, it's the offseason, hockey is bad and no-one can figure out the basketball team, plenty of reasons to discuss the MSU related headlines.
February 9th, 2017 at 10:38 PM ^
I think that there's a 57-86 percent chance that all of this is going to have a negative impact on their 2017 season.
