MSU Red Cedar Message Board

I'm gonna take that as disrespect. Come on, lets go red wings?

Collegefootballnews disagrees:

"5. Michigan vs. Michigan State
This might be the most important Legends rivalry for the next several years.

Michigan vs. Ohio State will always be big and it’ll always define the two programs, but Michigan-Michigan State is meaner, nastier, and now, more important. It’s already a good Big Ten rivalry, but it’s about to get a whole lot bigger and a whole lot better.

Michigan’s date with MSU is a division battle, while the Ohio State game is just as important as facing Indiana or Purdue. Think of it like Oklahoma vs. Nebraska when the Big 12 was formed. There was plenty of excitement when the two played, but the OU vs. Texas rivalry became far more important because of the significance to the South.

Michigan is No. 1 in the 2012 Scout.com recruiting rankings and on the verge of being a superpower again under Brady Hoke, while Michigan State has established itself as a star over the last few seasons after winning a piece of the 2010 Big Ten ."

There's even one post that thoughtfully explains that currently, our game with them is more important and has bigger implications(B1G race, division and what not) and it was apparently downvoted to "flamebait" and is hidden from view. Even after acknowledging that the OSU game was always historically much bigger. They desperately want to deny that things are much different now.

And I will admit that follow UM closely. They are our biggest rival and i despise them. You all do. And they despise us. All of them. Whether or not they all feel that MSU football is a bigger rival than OSU, one thing is assured is that it burns them up more than absolutely anything that they can't beat us right now.

actually, it seems that ANY post suggesting that MSU is a rival at all is downvoted nearly out of existence.

I actually love this way of thinking they have. It's blatantly clear that it's all a desperate attempt to convince themselves otherwise of what they know to be true.

Is anyone else pissed that none of us can afford to live in LA? I didn't know this until I read their ugly message board. My day is ruined.

Living in LA? with my MSU degree Im lucky enough to earn more than minimum wage.

Well one thing I do know, the Ann Arbor/Ohio State game will have no say whatsoever in who wins the Big Ten Championship this year, or have any bearing on who goes to the Rose Bowl.

Wait, they play football in ann arbor?

Who would have known?

edit: That said - 4 more years!

Honestly, what does it matter? Let them decide for themselves whom they hate the most. I'll stand back, chuckle occasionally, and take the Ws.

I turned you from a 1* to a 2* with my upvotes. It's almost as if scUM had offered you a schollie and you got another *.

A lot of the things they do amuse me.

Looks like a lot of Michigan fans are jumping all over the OSU thing to kind of legitimize their current program. OSU has been so successful that by saying they have such a big rivalry, it makes them bigger than they have been. Makes sense though. Michigan fans are there because they are insecure little pin heads. So many of their fans are complete morons. They need that reinforcement that they are important.

Even that one guy in the thread saying "MSU fans can't afford to live where I live" is kind of like the Wal*Marters. The Wal*Verines cheer on Michigan because they are good and the Wal*Verines want to be important. They have shit jobs, no life, and live just above or at poverty. The "rich guy"? He needs to cheer on a big time program because in other areas of his life, he is a loser. He may be monetarily successful (or not sense he's bragging on a message board, if you're rich, why waste your time?) but that guy still needs a winner to feel a sense of worth. He measures himself on material things. Sad really. Enjoy LA bud. Not any of us MSU grads could afford LA.

Getting back to the rivalry stuff, there is no doubt OSU and MSU hate UM for a lot of the same reasons. Arrogance, hype, annoying fans, and everything that Michigan represents. I just see UM fans hating OSU more than MSU because of the importance of the game. That same importance that has barely existed over the past 20 years. How many times have UM/OSU both been on the verge of a Big Ten Championship? I can think of '06 but not much else. That is what their rivalry is built on. Today, you have a bunch of butt hurt UM fans that don't want to accept MSU as a rival because they want it to be like the 1970's and 1980's again. They won't admit it but "The Rivalry" is falling fast.

I'm on cloud 9
