All things Spartans

[Some Irish Bloke]

LFG, haven't been to Spartan Stadium since our '12 beatdown of Sparty.

 

[Huntr]

Great news. I want them to get back to playing State every 4 or 5 years. Would be nice if this got us back on track.

 

[pumpdog20]

Nice... more B1G teams please

 

[zelezo vlk]

Love playing Sparty.

Would love a 6 year rotation of home and homes with Wisconsin, MSU, and Michigan

Just out of curiosity, why Wisconsin?

If we are aiming for more traditional rivals, I'd prefer to see Purdue, personally.

Play 1 or both of Sparty and Purdon't most years and tell Michigan to kick rocks. Let's play home and homes with other traditional Big Ten powers that haven't been caught massively cheating. Washington would be cool, UCLA too. Heck I'd take Iowa.

Love to see it. The Michigan team we should play.

Just a good team that ND should beat to affirm regional superiority. Nothing about playing Purdue excites me in the expanded playoff era. Beating Wisconsin at least means a little

Definitely fair

Good.

I’d prefer Sparty, Purdue, and Penn St.

It does me. Saves me about 2 hours drive time when they play at West Lafayette.

Noticed this a bit lately but MSU fans are having a real existential crisis they don’t even have hoops to fall back on now anymore

Damn...it's been almost 20 years now since we got the infamous Mike Valenti MSU/ND rant. I forgot how much a Valenti rant brings me joy. Inject it right into my veins

He's so so good, tbh he should be on nationally somewhere. He's too good for local sports radio.
Everything he said in the video about MSU is true from facilities to NIL to coaching. And yeah Nick Marsh is getting a bag from the SEC and he will be gone come end of season.

Facts. and that fact that I'm that niche local listener who hates both the Wolverines and the Lions, it's fun to listen to a guy when he trashes those teams.

Though admittedly, the Lions are the ones trashing everybody in 2024 lol. Damn good football team.

Sparty fans are feeling things rn

Assholes,
2nd time in 3 years. Not even playing Black Friday this time.

This disrupts the Michigan High School State Football finals; to Friday and Sunday this time. (which they said was a one time deal, last time). Hopefully another 42-0 loss in front of barely 50K fans.

 

[stpeteirish]

Wow Sparty is now Syracuse. Sad

they have fallen off so so far and their stadium is falling apart

lol Mike V is back at it. Hating on Smith is a long running bit of his

Always fun to relive Valenti.

 

[Pete]

He’s a weirdo 😂

Legend has it those three Spartans still show up to guard the 50…just in case…

Maybe Velenti just doesn't like ANY coaches named Smith?

[EDIT} Damn, I'm old...internet not even bringing up a .gif of the old John L Smith slap

 

[stlnd01]

A weirdo!

Don't really understand how Sparty's gotten so bad. Looking at their schedule they'll be lucky to win six games, which if they did would be an improvement on the last three years. They should probably go hire James Franklin.
