Pretty sure one of them lit a recruiting letter on fire and posted an instagram pick and Wolverine nation starting building a statue of the 17-year old high school junior in the middle of the diag. When your relevancy has slipped so far that you brag about recruiting victories and non-conference season imaginary awards, it's the little things that make being a fan worthwhile.
Oh, and Bama kicked our ass. Two years ago. I look to it as a necessary evil for our coaching staffs development and growth. In some ways I am grateful of that beatdown, it was needed to get where we want to go.

It was needed to get to the Capitol One Bowl and near the top of the B10 after the beatdown? Michigan got to a similar level last year as well and without a beatdown. I guess this year the necessary evil of a beatdown for the UM coaching staff will push Michigan to even greater heights. Right?

Note to you as a non-B10 fan:
MSU's players and fans are very jealous of the attention that Michigan gets and they celebrate Michigan losing more than their own victories. MSU fans know they were smoked by Bama during their best season in recent memory, but they know the media/national audience does not expect more out of them than that so they are not too upset about getting blown out by Bama... and Michigan players were not tweeting about it for the same reason. Michigan fans and the media/nation expect more out of Michigan and that grinds Spartans deep down.
MSU will get blown out a couple times this year (like they do each year) and they know they would not be able to hang with Bama, but they'll never admit it and they'll keep their attention focused on Michigan's stumbles instead.
Essentially, this is the origin of the "little brother" comment seeping through.

Best?
Considering 2009 we won the MNC in Pasadena And in 2011 we won the MNC in New Orleans
2010 year is actually the worst season in recent memory.. Despite the fact that we were a way above average team that had some tough, close losses
Michigan State does not and will not run the 3-4 defense.

Yeah, that was a hyperbole for the sake of taunting Robinson. Not that I support the Twitter smacktalk, but don't get so butthurt about it. The only purpose this thread serves is to remind people that MSU fared poorly against Bama two years ago. Not exactly a groundbreaking thread.

No...I am not a Big 10 fan but I do understand being transparent. Secondly, the 2010 season Bama finished 10-3, I wouldn't call that best season in recent memory. 2009 we were 14-0, I would call that one of the best seasons in recent memory.

Except in 2011, MSU wasn't ranked in the Top 10, expected to be one of the top teams nationally, or thought to have had a heisman candidate in their senior quarterback...
Say what you want, but the situations are different

What?! In 2010, MSU was ranked in the top 10 more often than they were in 2011. Heading into the Alabama game (the beatdown we are discussing here) MSU was ranked #7...higher than UM this year and got beat down worse by a lower-ranked Bama team.
MSU won a Big Ten Championship, had 11 wins and was #7 heading into the Bama game with only one loss. They even were one of the last undefeated teams (therefore in the BCS discussion) before they got blown out against Iowa. In 2011, they lost 3 games and weren't ranked high enough to even be considered for a BCS bowl.
The first B10 championship in decades heading into that Bama game against a 4 loss Bama team. But....you think the 2011 team was better because....they never had to play Bama?
