STAEE ‘Rock Bottom’ Schadenfreude — Oh, the irony of buying donuts to numb the pain from MSU’s 49-donut loss

I would like donuts but am going to have to settle for a bagel with my Sunday morning schadenfreude

In a normal year I would be going bananas over this game, but too many msu fans I know are such arrogant assholes about everything that it just isn't as fun anymore. 

I don't understand. Who is this "michigan state" that people keep talking about?

Maybe someone who can stomach spending time on their message boards can post more of this?

It is delicious!💧💧

And as far as I know that's THE foremost source of fan intel and discourse about MSU football? CW Mgoblog. A pretty impoverished landscape over there, all around.

The saddest thing I've seen over there are appeals to replace the president, suggesting that with a former security guard overseeing the AD there's zero pressure to get things right, move forward, anything. . .

A lot of things that stink to high heaven never really become widespread knowledge in this country, but that's a pretty long list of ugly they've amassed lo these four, five years.

When the image of a 170-year old institution starts to erode severely, recovering it might be the work of decades. You have to feel a little bit surprised that no one has been brought in to clean house; sounds like the trustees are mostly rooted in the ugly? Sounds like they're at a complete impasse?

OTOH, maybe there are people looking, saying, 'Hey, our hoops, soccer, and x programs are in healthy shape; all we have to do is find a coach of some probity for football, use the portal and we can be back in business? I mean, they had a crowd there to start that game?

If some serious writer put the whole picture together, would read.

I just looked at eleven warriors and there's a post about how we're classless dbags for going for that last touchdown, and then how they're going to curb stomp us in Ann Arbor. See you on November 25th, boys. 

They should open a new donut place in EL called Mel’s Donuts, he could work there.  They would need a way to make the crème-filled ones and I’m sure he’s up for it.

Donuts weren't the only food for thought posted on RCMB in the wake of that historic drubbing.   My favorite was multiple posts (upvoted multiple times) saying that there wasn't much of a talent gap between the two rosters.   49-0 happened mostly because UM is well coached and everyone coaching MSU is actually only qualified to launder uniforms after games and practices.

The delusion is so off the charts I can only shake my head with wonder.

Reading through stuff today on The Athletic, there's so much more Michigan hate out there than usual, and the usual is a good amount of hate. 

I found my thoughts toward the end of the game drifting toward the idea that the team we cheer for would exhibit the best behavior possible, and approach the other team for handshakes. In part to display sportsmanship as it should be, but a little twinge in that dark corner of my mind that would chug the schadenfreude like it was in a beer bong.I guess I'll just enjoy how empty the stadium was toward the end of the game.

The entire Big 10 really stinks this year. Yes it is fun watching Michigan destroy these teams but I wish they actually had some competition to prepare for the playoffs.  The entire Big 10 West is terrible on offense and most on defense.  
 

I don’t think Penn St nor OSU are that hot either.  Both have a lot of flaws.  I guess both will be better tests than the shitty teams Michigan has played thus far.  

still it’s hard not to absolutely love this team.  I so hope they can stay healthy.  The depth, the play, the lack of stupid penalties (at least by the starters) the discipline are just fantastic.  I think the Purdue game will be another where it’s a name your score.  They may hit 70 against the Boilers who are the exact opposite.

When one hits "rock bottom" there is usually only one way to go: up.

Unless... DRILL, BABY, DRILL!!!
