For a team who likes to downplay their rivalry with MSU, michigan is going pretty hard in the paint celebrating.

Yeah its just funny that all those years when Sparty would get all hyped when they beat UM, Michigan fans would be all :smug: "Oh yeah? Beating us made your year, huh? We don't really care about you, we don't even really consider this a rivalry."

And now they're acting like they won the goddamn Big Ten.

I think the program itself has started embracing the hate, especially the players. It’s the fans that are always like “I’m not mad about getting dominated for a decade. It’s actually hilarious to me”

I made a complete bonkers rear end of myself while watching WLOCP last season and every other UGA fan around me did too, and I'd do it again and again because yeah, dominated for a decade/decades*

*though we've won 4 out of 7 against one of the lousiest Florida football runs in modern times, yaaaaaay

I don’t have any fun links or anything but apparently James Carville went on Fienbaum and was claiming that the really bad targeting call against LSU last week is proof positive that the SEC is colluding to keep Alabama on top. He has some galaxy brain takes for what is essentially just a bad call and the type that get made weekly

Yeah but would you do the same if Georgia Tech owned you for a decade? Because that’s the more comparable rivalry.

I've probably already said this exact sentence BUT



Don't worry! I've allowed some hope for a victory to creep into the deepest, deadest cockles of my own beating heart which means you guys will be up 28 in the first half.

It's going to happen. Accept the inevitability. Crack a beer. Smile. The sun will almost certainly shine on the Dawgs because we are not allowed nice things anymore. It's a fact. As reliable as the sunrise.

Mark Stoops said he will play multiple quarterbacks against Missouri this weekend. Sounds like not only will Gunnar Hoak be getting snaps along with Terry Wilson, but Danny Clark might too. It's a hell of a thing to be 6-1 and have a quarterback controversy.

If it helps any Missouri's been pretty good at letting quarterbacks I've never heard of before go off on them this year. Not a long term solution I know but you might have fun for that game.

Hasn't Missouri had issues stopping the run too? I feel like a heavy dose of Benny Snell might be the key. Churn the clock and keep the ball away from Missouri's offense.

Ohio State is a bigger rival than Michigan State

Michigan State cares way more about the rivalry than Michigan

Michigan still hates Michigan State because they're a dirty playing garbage program full of rapists

These things are not mutually exclusive. If I had to choose I would take beating Ohio State every season over Michigan State. That doesn't mean that I like MSU though. I would imagine a similar scenario would be Georgia cares more about Florida than Georgia Tech, but they're still going to be pissed off about losing to Georgia Tech

Actually I see Henchman of Santa already made this comparison, so I could have saved a lot of words! Maybe on a scale of 1-10 our hatred of Ohio State is a 10 and Michigan State has bumped from a 5 to a 8 over the past few years of them beating our asses.

In theory the front 7 is the strength of the defense, and they're 4th in the nation according to rushing S&P+ somehow? I hadn't actually looked at that until now and it stuns me.

To the eye test they're not really good at anything, although I did think they were at least a little better at stopping the run than the pass.

However, that doesn’t mean I’m fan of UofM, but I also have no real animosity toward the team. Just Harbaugh. Can’t stand the fucker. I hope they lose enough clutch games for the university to kick him to curb.

Also imagine that you lost to a rival because your punter dropped a snap, picked it up, and then threw it to the other team who ran it for the game winning touchdown, and then you had to see the highlight of this play and hear about it like every loving day for three years and probably the rest of your life, all while everyone opines that your coach just can't beat his rivals

That might spice up a rivalry for you a little bit

This weekend on WTKA, Lorenzo White openly joked about the giant piles of steroids MSU was doing the last time they were relevant. This is a widely-reported fact that did not prevent George Perles from becoming an MSU trustee. An internal investigation cleared Perles; in 2008 Tony Mandarich admitted his steroid use and told Armen Keteyian that by the time he reached the NFL he was addicted to painkillers. It is an open secret that MSU did zillions of steroids in the early 1990s and that Mandarich exited Michigan State a ticking timebomb. Not only did MSU let that guy escape with his undeserved dignity intact, they put that guy on the board of trustees.

I mean, why not, right? The rest of the board consists of former football players, infamous slumlord/booster Joel Ferguson, the grandson of the guy the basketball arena is named after, and a couple people who don't even have a good reason to be a shameless lickspittle in the face of incontrovertible evidence that the institution they nominally govern is a failed enterprise. Collectively they said Lou Anna Simon should keep her job after the worst sexual assault scandal in the history of the United States.

So gently caress Michigan State. gently caress their football and basketball teams especially, as they are the main drivers of the deranged culture that enabled Larry Nassar. There is a straight line to draw between Perles and the rest of his board to Mark Hollis to Lou Anna Simon, all of it enabled because Michigan State got to beat big brother in some sports sometimes. Nobody in power at that university cares about the woman subjected to Keith Appling and Adriean Payne's charms, or Auston Robertson's victim, or Travis Walton's, or the various people subjected to the presence of Michigan State players in events that weren't sexual violence but were sure as hell violent. So why would they care about insistent reports dating back 20 years about a doctor abusing gymnasts?

Well, you see, sometimes we get to rub the big in-state school's nose in it. So, obviously. It's all good.

Not only are they a dirty garbage program full of rapists, but their fanbase is collectively the angry conservatives you know on Facebook who talk poo poo and post Trump memes every drat day, but the second there's any pushback, it's time to clutch their pearls and cry about decorum. gently caress that, gently caress them, and gently caress Bill Schuette.

Also, I'm glad that Brian took a shot across Penn State's brow by calling the Nassar scandal the worst in the history of the United States.

Notre Dame switched QBs at 3-0 with a pretty convincing win over Michigan.

The interstate rivalry that's bigger than the intrastate one is a weird quirk of college football. I guess because two programs rarely dominate in one state.

Michigan/OSU is bigger than Michigan/MSU
Florida/Georgia is bigger than Georgia/GT or Florida/FSU (conferences also matter there)
Texas/Oklahoma is bigger than Texas/A&M or Bedlam
USC/Notre Dame seems bigger than USC/UCLA

Even a lot of Bama fans seem to hate Tennessee more than Auburn despite the Iron Bowl being an infinitely more important game most years and Auburn having more success in recent memory.

OTOH Kentucky’s biggest rival is Louisville because being a trash fire of a football state is tradition.

Also Michigan/tOSU is just an extension of the hatred the two states have of each other. They went to war over Toledo of all things

We “lost” and got the UP and all of its mined resources out of it.

Also having spent four years in Ohio it is really just Michigan without the scenery.
