Sparty gonna Spart
meyer used to coach at UCF?
And I learned during a conversation waiting for a delayed flight that most Floridians wouldn't spit on Urban if he was on fire.
I don't think it is ineptitude. Their goal is to keep the cult intact by any means necessary. What MGobloggers perceive as ineptitude and dishonesty is being perceived by many sparty loyalists as fighting the good fight.
It's scary, and horrible, but they are being smart. Remeber the Iraqi minister of defense blatantly lying about the strength of his army's position during the last gulf war? He denied the coming defeat right up until the tanks rolled through Baghdad. It seemed ridiculous to the rest of the world looking on. However, he wasn't lying for the world, he was lying for his Army. His job wasn't to be honest, it was to protect what was left of Saddam's Iraq. They were pot commited. Some parallels to be drawn I think.
Is this in relation to Nassar or OTL?
If Nassar, MSU has already lost their President, AD, had the doctor sentenced, the dean of DO school charged, investigations still continuing, enormous PR hit, hundreds of millions in lawsuits expected, etc.. I don't think anyone at MSU or fan/alum is blind to what is happening there.
Regarding OTL, still not seeing anything that really implicates Dantonio or Izzo in doing something wrong.
suspending a guy with what, 10 driving on suspended license citations (mork again) . . . all seem completely on the up and up.
You supplied the laundry list for me... I swear to god it is a fucking cult. These people are nuts. I swear on my grandmother's grave, if Beilein had done that, I would want him gone. Maybe that is the real "Michigan Difference?"
You sound like a lot of Spartys I've talked to about this. Not all, but an allarming number say the same things.
A tape of Dantonio cheering on a rape could surface and you still wouldn't see anything. Your loyalty blinds you to something that is horrifically obvious to outside observers.
Dantonio recruited a known sexual assailant to campus and he proceeded to rape another girl at MSU. That's what sexual predators tend to do....
Dantonio passed the buck to the admissions people as if that absolves him of any responsibility. Worse yet, he actually feels no remorse!!!! What a fucking saint he is... What if it was your daughter that Robertson raped on campus? Is football and beating Michigan that important to you? It obviously is to Dantonio.
Autson Robertson was one of at least 17 other sexual assailants that have played and raped under Dantonio's watch. There is more "smoke" - if you want to call it smoke, flourescent glowing nuclear fallout is probably more accurate - suggesting that Dantonio and Izzo have some blood on their hands, but I don't have the strength to re-write the laundry list. It wouldn't matter to you anyway if I did. I'm horrified by people like you and your ability to deny what has/is happening at this school you so identify with.
It is a horrible look for Michigan State and its alumni. BTW, I am a part of that Alumni...
You - and I gues me by association to the school - are the Iraqi army in my previous analogy. Engler and his talking heads are the Iraqi press guy. Michigan Statee's plan is working. Keep drinking that Kool-Aid. The BOT and their $1000 an hour lawyers are counting on people like you to carry the torch. I wouldn't want to carry the torch, but then again I'm not a part of the cult.
They literally care more about the performance of UM teams--and will latch on to anything negative about it that they can muster--than they do about their own teams. It's so mind-boggling to listen to. I get disliking rival teams, but I will never understand why they exalt that dislike above every other value of their fandom.
Its hard to even wrap your mind around how they think. Michigan bball wins the BIG and finishes ranked (not predicted) 2nd in the county. Michigan hockey goes to the Frozen 4 ahead of schedule and Michigan had the worse seasons. Huh. Yes this is sparty. Also, please check out the Directors Cup standings for more to the story.
Smack talk is not something where logic generally applies.
Any adult who thinks it's okay to ridicule a child about which school he roots for is a waste of DNA.
the kid was either late high school or college so not a child. I'm older so anyone under 25 looks 16 to me nowadays and I refer to as kid. But my brother can be a massive prick nonetheless. Master of talking shit - can dish it out but can't take it.
My sentiment remains but I'll retract its relevance to your situation. Sounds like clearly you are the smart one in your family, though!
person to express that opinion but intelligence is relative. He's a smart guy but the fact that he says "literally" all the time is the giveaway.
Maybe we should change the phrase for Sparty to “Little Prick” or “Little Douche.”
“Little Douche Rapist Non-Flusher” to abbreviate it
but it is topical and I haven't bothered looking for another forum in which to have discussions as I find this board to have both like-minded people who are outraged and enough people playing devil's advocate in case we lose perspective. This is my therapy and the board is my shrink.
It's our taxpayer dollars. I care.
I see them all out rocking their Sparty gear and I can only think it's just the denial phase. I just think, man, I don't know how you can go out in public in that shit.
how he is allowed to dress the entire season, is under investigation the entire season, then coincidentally the friday after the NCAA final, he pleads down to misdemeanor assault...
