The Blue Board

The point is, OSU and UM have been nationally relevant on a consistent basis since 1940...MSU has not.

I think despite the overall record, Michigan fans almost universally accept OSU as relative equals in the grand historical perspective. MSU...not so much.

MSU wants historical and national respect, win a national championship. That would do wonders.

This is what you started with,

"Also, to the OP when they were drawing up the divisions there was serious talks of ending the UM OSU rivalry. The ratings have been abysmal and there was serious talks of finding OSU a better end of season rival and UM a more competitive game at the end of season like MSU. Fact."

I didn't see any mention of terrible ratings for the game, getting a better rival for OSU, or a more competitive game for Michigan in your link. What I did see was an attempt to get Michigan and OSU to play twice a year.

Don't forget to include a left handed center and red headed punter. It is surprising what comes up when you look at it that way. Who cares about the straight up records.

How is that?

With an exteme overreaction to a very small sample size: ie, one year.

If you're talking to me, I'm not saying you're bad right now. I'm saying, historically, you're not that good so it's stupid to bring up only seasons where both teams had winning records. That's not a lot of data. Why wouldn't we include the forty or so years that you were "down"?

Like it's been done before?

OSU has beaten both MSU and UM in the same year a bunch of times as has UM done the same to MSU and OSU. What State has done might be special to you Spartan fans but it's nothing special to the programs that have done it before. You get respect in 2 ways. Do something special(something that hasn't been done by the programs you are looking for respect from) or give respect. State and their fans fail in both those ways.

I realize you are trying to get a rise out of Michigan and OSU fans, but the "fact" that your link showed that the executives split Michigan and OSU into seperate divisions with the hope that they play twice a year shows how much of a fool you are. Keep hyping and pumping your link.

Except your life revolves around ripping on MSU on a mesaage board. You talk more MSU than most of the members on tRCMB.

It eats at you. 4 in a row. You are 0 and 11 against OSU and MSU. Hahahahahahahahaha. I bet you are crying right now.

Beating ND and OSU >>>>>> Losing to MSU. It'll still be a good season.

I love the sour grapes. OSU caught cheating, UM falling to the bottom half of the Big Ten, and now they are joining forces to rip MSU after we beat both. Lol. Hahaha.

Man, what a disfunctional family. Looks like our older bros are losing their hair, gaining weight, and paying for prostitutes. Little bro is just getting started.

I'll be under the stands banging the prom queen, later bros.

And you'll be right here talking about Michigan. I guess that is a rip on me though.

Can someone explain to me why some UM fans make such a big deal if the MSU/UM game is a rivalry or not? Who the F*** cares? Call it what you want, it's still a big game. What's it matter if one team makes it a bigger deal or not? It's a retarded thing to argue about.
