In a couple of years you'll know how they feel. Except for the winning in the 7th year part. :wink2:

And even when we do win you can bet your ass I'd be thoroughly embarrassed to wear t-shirts that say "SCOREBOARD!" to commemorate that one win, let alone have it be sold on the official site.

Someone wondered if I'd still call them Little Brother if we lost. It's easy when they keep acting like it. It's really funny to hear them rally around "pride goes before the fall" and then put up big fucking billboards.

A bit ridiculous? Sure. But as insulting and ridiculous as Hart's comments were last year, you had to be kidding yourself not to see something like this coming if MSU won this year.

jwins--thanks for the link. I still however, think that there's a huge difference between:

Delaney's response to the UM/MSU call, in which he came out three days after the game and saying a call was was "not acceptable." "The people in the replay booth made a mistake," Delany said while meeting with reporters at the conference's basketball media day Sunday. "It wasn't a mistake of judgment; it was a mistake of an application of the rule. They applied the wrong rule and they applied it improperly."

and

Delaney's response to the OSU/Illinois non-call in which he said eight MONTHS after the game:
"I'm not going to really comment on that right now, because when officials move on, we don't really comment on it," Jim Delany said. "To be honest with you, we've taken a pretty good, thorough look at that situation. I would say before the season starts I'll have a little more detail on it, but I didn't think today was the time or the place to get into that."

I agree, there was a huge difference.

In the Illinois game, there was a fumble which the officials on the field missed and which was not reviewed by the booth at all

while in the Michigan - Sparty game there was a correct call on the field and a replay and a wrong application of the rule.

Methinks you view the Illinois game mistake as worse because it involved Ohio State.

Not disputing anything you've pointed out here. However, both were blatant errors on the part of the officiating crews, and I do not think that the distinction you cited above justifies the commissioner, in the one case, three days after the game publicly saying the officials were wrong, and, in the other case, eight months later refusing to say publicly anything regarding whether the call was correct.

Undoubtedly true.

Eh.... six of one, half a dozen of another. I don't really have a huge problem with missed calls on the field. I mean, sure I'd prefer that they didn't happen, and that when they do they get corrected. But, officials miss stuff in the heat of the moment and it's been that way forever (that's not an excuse, it's just a realization of the human element).

As for the Commish's response, I think 2 things. 1 - Who cares? I know what I saw, and it doesn't change anything. 2 - Missing the call in the heat of the action is far less egregious than simply making up a rule on the spot (as was done in the Michigan game) and - to me - the Commish's lack of response is more in line with a "Shit happens" sort of thing whereas the Michigan game response is more of a "Sure, shit happens... but this shit is completely unacceptable shit"

Undoubtedly true.

Well, if Michigan didn't have pompous dipshits like Brandon Graham shooting their mouths off, guaranteeing wins...

I'll let you know if I hear of any billboards that Michigan put up or any t-shirts we sold after Terry Glenn and David Boston opened their traps.

Point is, there is a Sparty way of doing things which screams inferiority complex and pigeonholes them right into the Little Brother mentality. No matter what you think of Mike Hart saying it, it's pretty obvious Sparty fits the bill.

Pretty convenient of you to use 10-15 year old examples. :roll1:

You can thump your chest all you want about MSU having some sort of inferiority complex, but you have to face the fact that Michigan is clearly the inferior team this year.
