Re: Michigan State vs. Michigan - Can't we all just get along?
First of all, I am not surprised that you are "loving" anything negative at U-M. Alot of pent up hostility after being owned for so long.
Second of all, your hockey program has lost six consecutive times to Michigan, and yet you are talking like you are going to come into Yost and spank the Wolverines as if RR is coaching it.
Reminds me of the tool that sat behind me at JLA in 1998 at the CCHA championships. He reveled in the "demise" of the Wolverines (afterall, MSmoo was #1) and how terrible Turco was in comparison to Chad Alban. He howled in delight when Turco was directly responsible for the gaffe that led to OSU's winning goal in the semi's. I calmly invited him to a wager as to what team would go farther in the NCAA's, and he yanked out a $20.00 bill, tore it in half, and handed me one part of it. He said, " I expect to get this back with another from you when the Spartans win it all."
Needless to say, and as fate would have it, Michigan beat Princeton and North Dakota at Yost, while MSU flopped against OSU. Michigan, that sad sack team full of freshmen in 1998, went to Boston and beat UNH and then BC in their backyard, to win the NC.
Oh, and the Spartoon never collected on his half of the $20.00 bill. Never heard from him. Exactly what I expect from your faithful after tonight.![Stick out tongue :p :p](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png)
There is one of two things going on here... or maybe both. There is a different tenor to the smack talk coming out of your camp these days. Either the shambles that your football program is in is finally teaching you guys some humility... or you really are that concerned about your hockey program at this point. Or, like I said, both. The braggadocio that typically characterized your posts has been greatly tempered. Your swagger has been reduced to more of a shuffle (save for UMICHDROOLZ, he's swaggering [staggering?] all over the place).
I think that given last weekends performance you guys know there's a better chance than you would like that you could be swept this weekend. As much as we are hoping for it, you are dreading the potential bloodletting that could go down in Yost in the next 24 hours. The usual chirps are more like peeps now. The pink marshmallow kind.. that you find in the Easter basket. Hell! I even got a positive rep from one of you schmucks for a shot I took in this thread. Cats sleeping with dogs I tell you. (and schmuck was just bravado, thanks for the rep!)
We Spartans on the other hand... we are delirious. So far this year, last year's disaster of a season has been replaced with a hockey team that, well GD it, looks like a hockey team! We have visions of grandeur running through our head. We think we can deal the death blow to UM hockey on their own sheet (hyperbole for those of you that are slow on the uptake). WE WANT THE FRIDAY THE 13TH MASSACRE!!!!
But, sigh, Spartans know letdowns too. All too well after the last couple of years of hockey (and the perpetual letdown in football). We know you are laying back in the wings waiting for us to stumble. Waiting for us to fall. Waiting for us to turn our backs and walk away with our heads hung low while you spit on us. But, having been there so often before,
___we___just___don't___care.
We are punch drunk riding a gravy train with biscuit wheels. GET OUT OF THE WAY =)
side note #1:
Friday the 13th. I break it down this way. Home ice is an advantage and one could postulate there is some measure of luck associated with it. Friday the 13th, being associated with overwhelming bad luck, typically acts inversely upon the amount of good luck one might otherwise expect to recieve. Therefore, I say Friday the 13th: Advantage-SPARTANS
side note #2:
Do you guys recognize how big of a cluster-******* your football program has turned into since you hired that hillbilly? Walvies are great for filling up the pig house. You're not supposed to hand them a headset and a clipboard and let them run the program FFS. We've been down that road so many times we burned the map a long time ago. You guys are lost. We're loving it.

In the spirit of this thread...
GO BLOW!
