Pick up litter at EL.. actually that's a really bad punishment
October 25th, 2018 at 9:31 AM ^
He's already de-thatched a lawn.
October 24th, 2018 at 8:27 PM ^
Its double secret probation
October 24th, 2018 at 6:14 PM ^
I don't quite get reprimanding the guy who set up a fight AND the guy who, after the fact, pointed out that the guy set up a fight. But it's th Big 10, so I guess we should all be happy they did anything.
October 24th, 2018 at 7:47 PM ^
The ENTIRE MSU Football team was reprimanded. This was separate from the reprimand for Dantonio. It is a point being missed by people reporting it, and one of the parts I find the funniest especially after Harbaugh throwing the "product of the program" quote back in Dantonio's face.
October 24th, 2018 at 6:16 PM ^
Big10 can reprimand Harbaugh all they want, but they can’t stop him from hoisting the Big10 championship trophy on December 1st amirite? Go Blue!
October 24th, 2018 at 6:30 PM ^
They probably can stop him in Columbus like 2016 tbh.
October 24th, 2018 at 9:18 PM ^
Too soon.
October 24th, 2018 at 7:26 PM ^
Don't tempt them.
October 24th, 2018 at 10:22 PM ^
That depends on who spots the ball...
October 24th, 2018 at 6:18 PM ^
So pretty much....
October 24th, 2018 at 6:19 PM ^
Hahaha dude. How much is this fucking school going to pay in settlements and fines? We should stop giving tax payer money to this dumpster fire. Why? Cause Fuck em, that's why!
October 24th, 2018 at 6:19 PM ^
RCMB is crying hard lol
October 24th, 2018 at 6:23 PM ^
One dufus over there advocated for them to drop out of the B1G because “they need us more than we need them.”
..lol ok.
Settle down there, Minnesota East.
October 24th, 2018 at 7:30 PM ^
I fucking rolled off my couch laughing at this because it is so accurate.
October 24th, 2018 at 6:46 PM ^
....they need to put this into perspective, that works out to only $2k per lewerke completion.
October 24th, 2018 at 7:22 PM ^
They are totally losing it over there. My favorite, this guy is wondering where an ameteur athlete's fine is:
stoops21
- (6590)
- 81 months
18 minutes agovia Mobile
Where the fuck is out PR firm????
Where the fuck is the fine for Devin Bush?
This can’t be real can it?
Oh its real, baby! and its spectacular.
October 24th, 2018 at 6:20 PM ^
$106 per yard. Not too shabby, MSU!
October 24th, 2018 at 6:21 PM ^
Appeal the reprimands!
Keep trolling at full speed until Purdue!
October 24th, 2018 at 6:21 PM ^
Who cares about fines. Harbaugh already won this one. That's all anyone will remember.
October 24th, 2018 at 6:21 PM ^
How about that, Mark?
October 24th, 2018 at 6:29 PM ^
"Next question. You heard me." /gruff and tough
October 24th, 2018 at 6:22 PM ^
Something I'll never understand--reprimanding a coach for criticizing ref's or the other team, even if everything the coach says is factual or a statement of a valid opinion. Pure image above substance and hypocrisy to my eyes.
October 24th, 2018 at 11:01 PM ^
They would have a leg to stand on if they ever actually "reprimanded" something that wasn't first called out publicly.
October 24th, 2018 at 6:30 PM ^
I ventured over to RCMB to get a chuckle out of their reaction to this (was not disappointed). The best comment went as follows, "Drop out of the big ten. Go independent like Notre Dame. They need us more than we need them."
I hate ND, but in what universe is sparty comparable to them in terms of anything that makes them a successful independent program? There are few universities that could go independent and succeed as ND has done, and MSU definitely isn't one of them.
October 24th, 2018 at 6:37 PM ^
Does anyone else remember during the 2010 conference realignmentpalooza that two ACC schools "went rogue" and approached two Big Ten schools. One was confirmed as Penn State, but they never said who the other was. I always thought it was Michigan State and I always wondered if Michigan State should have considered it. They would have had one of the better ACC football programs at the time and their basketball team would have played top end teams right and left. It never happened and it wouldn't be even remotely feasible now, but I still think about this from time to time.
October 24th, 2018 at 7:12 PM ^
Why hate ND? They are a clean program and are pleasant when seeing a game in South Bend .They are as close to us as a program than anyone.
To hate for the sake of hating, is stupid. To hate for good ewreas, is justified .
October 24th, 2018 at 7:37 PM ^
You forgot the /s...
Or you're totally ignoring the fact that their Head Coach killed a guy, and protected a rapist which led to a woman's suicide...but yeah, "clean" program.
October 24th, 2018 at 8:59 PM ^
back in the 80s and 90s their fans were pretty obnoxious when they came into ann arbor. not OSU level bad of course.
October 24th, 2018 at 9:27 PM ^
I went to my first game at ND this year and wondered whether I'd find the annoying ND fans that I'd imagined existed somewhere. No sign of 'em ... everyone was very polite and refined.
In my experience they're the nicest opposing-team fans along with Northwestern.
October 25th, 2018 at 7:59 AM ^
Nebraska has very good fans too. And Iowa.
October 24th, 2018 at 7:48 PM ^
Just read that whole thread, for some reason. They are fucking insane, all of them. This place can get too homerish for me, but holy shit RCMB.
October 24th, 2018 at 6:31 PM ^
So much for BS, Mork!
October 24th, 2018 at 6:31 PM ^
LOL... what the F does a reprimand even mean?
October 24th, 2018 at 6:52 PM ^
Something like this.....
but not as hot as it comes from delaney.
October 24th, 2018 at 7:10 PM ^
Oh, so it's a good thing. Reprimand me more please.
October 24th, 2018 at 6:32 PM ^
Delaney: Harrumph! Harrumph! Hey, I didn't get a 'harrumph' out of you, asshole!
Mork: Harrumph!
October 24th, 2018 at 6:45 PM ^
Harrumph!
October 24th, 2018 at 6:35 PM ^
Is this fine enforceable? Or is it one of those that nobody has to follow up on...
I applaud Delany for half of this.... however, not on Harbaugh..... Harbaugh could not have worded it any better than he did... it rang true. I get that he has to reprimand both sides most of the time, but not this time...
October 24th, 2018 at 6:51 PM ^
I'm guessing that when the conference mails out the checks on June 30, MSU will find that they are getting $49,990,000 from the conference this year instead of $50 million.
October 24th, 2018 at 6:37 PM ^
Guess it wasn't BS eh Mork?
October 24th, 2018 at 6:38 PM ^
Lame Harbaugh?
Is one of Jim's old football injuries acting up on him?
October 24th, 2018 at 6:41 PM ^
What pisses me off is that it looks like both parties were responsible. In reality, MSU coaches were responsible and Harbaugh simply didn't follow proper protocol in airing his grievances. Huge difference.
October 24th, 2018 at 8:09 PM ^
Not really. Only one entity was fined $10k. Only one entity had a real consequence. The rest is just PC noise. Delaney in his statement confirmed that Michigan had the right to be on the field at that time. State comes off looking like the real loser here.
October 24th, 2018 at 6:46 PM ^
So anything about the defensive player trying to injure Ruiz yet?
October 24th, 2018 at 6:48 PM ^

"God will pay this fine..."
Best comment I've seen so far on this! (from Freep Reporter Chris Solari's twitter feed)
October 24th, 2018 at 6:58 PM ^
But...didn't Dantonio tell us to check the tape?
October 24th, 2018 at 7:50 PM ^
You heard him.
October 24th, 2018 at 7:06 PM ^
