Michigan Gets Asses Kicked After Defacing Spartan Stadium With Spike
Can we talk about how weird and stupid this is? This is the Michigan Wolverines football team—awful in every way, from the tactical to the executive to the medical—shoving a spike into the Spartan Stadium turf and celebrating like a bunch of morons just prior to getting their shit kicked in by Michi...
Tom Izzo, In Makeup, Plays Accordion With KISS At MSU Midnight Madness
Tom Izzo is smart enough not to get on a motorcycle, but he'll take some risks. Last night, those risks included wearing KISS makeup and playing accordion onstage with the glammed-out rockers....
Indiana's Shane Wynn Goes 75 Yards On Reverse, Embarrasses Michigan St.
Michigan State is supposed to be one of the best teams in the country, but they looked ridiculous in the second quarter today against Indiana as they allowed the Hoosiers' Shane Wynn to go 75 yards for a touchdown on a reverse. They had plenty of chances to tackle Wynn; it seems they just chose no...
Michigan State Suplexed Purdue's Akeem Hunt Right Onto His Head
Oh, man, that's an ugly botch. (Commentators noted it could have been called a personal foul.)...
Michigan State Beats EMU So Badly They Forget How To Play Football
Earlier, we brought you a halftime update from a very uncompetitive intrastate matchup between Eastern Michigan and Michigan State. It seems the beating got into the Eagles' heads, as at one point the center forgot to snap the ball entirely....
This Adreian Payne Dunk Is Just Silly
The college dunk contest was last night, and even though Michigan State forward Adreian Payne didn't win the competition, he earned the unofficial victory thanks to this ridiculous dunk....
Cops: Michigan State Football Recruit Body-Slammed Security Guard
WJBK in Detroit is reporting local star high school quarterback Jayru Campbell, a Cass Tech student committed to play at Michigan State, is in jail on charges related to his body slamming of a school security guard today. Cell phone video of the event doesn't appear to acquit the young man....
Mark Dantonio Wins 100th Rose Bowl, Picks Nose
Michigan State wins the Rose Bowl and Mark Dantonio gets a new contract that makes him one of the "three highest paid coaches in the Big 10"? There are worse days to get caught picking your nose on television. ...
East Lansing Police Want To Find "Burn The Couch" Guy On Facebook
The East Lansing Police Department uploaded this picture—which appears to be a photo of a television—to its Facebook page requesting information about the dude holding the "Burn The Couch" sign at the Big Ten Championship, some 254 miles away....
A Three-Man Front Is A Late-Game Defensive Formation For Suckers
The weekend, as I watched the absurd denouement of the Northwestern-Michigan game, something struck me as familiar — beyond the now-routine bumblefuckery that inspires the Wildcats to turn fourth-quarter leads into triple-overtime losses. No, it wasn't simply that Michigan drove in the dregs of game...
Michigan State Fan Behind ESPN Set Is <em>Really</em> Into Usher
Spartans supporters had reason to celebrate in Chicago tonight after MSU held off top-ranked Kentucky to earn a major early-season OOC win. One Michigan State fan took the opportunity to show off his terrible dance moves on ESPN's airwaves....
Michigan Paid To Have "Go Blue" Skywritten Over East Lansing
This was not some Wolverines fan with disposable income tweaking their in-state rivals by putting "Go Blue" in skywriting above Spartan Stadium before last weekend's MSU game. This was Michigan's athletics office, paying "thousands" to put the message in the skies. And it sort of backfired. ...
A Defensive End Is Michigan State's Best Offense
Each week, Football Outsiders recognizes the most outstanding college linemen, defenders and other darkhorses from the previous weekend who are habitually overlooked in the hype for that other award (whatever it's called). These are the Lowsmen....
Michigan State Coaches And Players Fall For Mannequin Prank
The cruelest part of dressing a student up as a statue then having him surprise unsuspecting coaches and players is doing it at 6:30 a.m., as everyone arrives for practice. That's far too early to pee yourself....
Totally Reasonable Michigan State Student Celebrates Michigan Loss By Detonating Homemade Bomb
The Michigan State Spartans were bounced from this year's NCAA tournament by Duke in the Sweet Sixteen. Even worse for Spartans fans was the fact that in-state rival Michigan made it all the way to the finals, so it totally makes sense that one Michigan State student decided to celebrate Michigan's ...
Northwestern Has Fired Bill Carmody After 13 Years Of Decent-By-Northwestern-Standards Basketball
In 13 seasons as the head coach at Northwestern University, an alleged Big Ten basketball program, Bill Carmody’s signature moment might’ve been getting hired in the first place. And that, presumably, is why the school fired him today. Cracker-box facilities, lack of tradition, and academic pressure...
Did Derrick Nix Smack Cody Zeller In The Nuts, Or Did Zeller Make Him Do It?
Senior Derrick Nix is Michigan State's team captain, but he's done some pretty uncaptain-like things. Like an offseason arrest for impaired driving and marijuana possession (the latter charge was dropped.) Like offering up bulletin board material when he called Victor Oladipo overrated. And then, t...
