U-M's Clark: MSU game personal for them, not for us

“They did their job playing us, that’s all I can say,” Clark, a senior defensive end at U-M, said this week at the Big Ten media days in Chicago. “When I say we lost most of our games by a combined 11 points, I’m excluding the Michigan State game, because they did their job and beat us. They did what you’re supposed to do when you have a dominant defense.”

He understands the back and forth but also sees the difference in approach.

“Basically, against State, it’s more of a personal thing against us,” he said. “But it’s not too personal (for us) because we look at it like it’s just another game. That’s how we’re going to continue to look at it.”

I saw a comment or post somebody made recently, can't remember where I saw it or who came up with the thought, but if u of m is making Frank Clark one of their spokesmen that speaks volumes about how much they trust the rest of team.

It was nothing personal when he broke into an apartment and made off with some loot, either. He was just doing his job.

Until they take this game seriously, we are going to have the edge. We want it more.

Yup. 5/6. I hope this attitude translates to the next coaching staff but I have a feeling it won't. By that time it will be at least 6/7 or 7/8, so I can see the fans getting fed up with the "We don't care about State" shit by then,

#1 vs. No One mentality.

Even if they lose, they still think they're #1.

The game that means the most to them is getting their ass kicked by Ohio State.

Such a douche

With their record the last few years I don't think any game is personal for them.

That is the crux of their problem. They think so much of themselves that everything else is irrelevant.

Awesome, hope they continue to feel that way.

No wonder their team is a dumpster fire.

Yep. 9 times out of 10, this game will mean more to us than them. I have no problem with the comments, as that gives us an edge.

He really should just shut up.

Does he realize scum football kept him out of jail? **** him

That is brilliant. If Felon Frank is your spokesman, you have no senior leaders of character .

I think he was misquoted, pretty sure what he really said was "to me its just another caper"

He well might say that.  

The comment section....The same scUM troll dude posts like 50 times...and then randomly Ike Reece chimes in about the Blue Wall.

PS And a bunch of blasts from Tanner too.

This shouldn't come as a surprise. A common character trait among felons is to not take anything personally.

I find a lot of the things they do amusing.

Hey dumb ass Clark, you were also 7 points and a miracle against NW from being 4-8 also.  Jesus, grab a clue.

No. This fits Hoke's narrative much more than Clark's. This attitude is from the coaches and the players are acting it out. Just like when Cook said "That's Michigan". He was immediately scared of the consequences. I bet Cook had some running to do after. Clark will be just fine. And there's your difference between the two staffs.

One staff trains their players on and off the field. You conduct yourself like a man.  The other staff is arrogant and expects wins because of a uniform. They let their players talk trash non stop.

We're going to crush them again this year. They know it... all of them.

-48 "just another game"

I like it. Go blue!

Make the monster hiding under my bed go away....it scares me.

Way to go, big Mikey!   

I hate you

Can we get any context in these threads? Just a quick synopsis, maybe?

Some of of work for a living. Context please.

Valenti saying hey Frank, you talk trash about a team you couldn't start for. You take plays off and have a self given sense if entitlement.

Saying guys like Clark just parrot what Hoke and Brandon sell them on Michigan. Rhetoric.

Saying that Dantonio is a psycho and will use this as further motivation to get his players to constantly play witha chip on their shoulder and feel like underdogs. Says the scout team will have Frank Clark's face on it during practice week.

I am working too, just have the radio feed online going.   

That is some earth shattering stuff

From what I have heard Frank doesn't need any help clowning Frank Clark.

Clark is a fuckin tool. Like hoke.

The answer ...

"“If the other guy at the end of the game shakes my hand, I didn’t do a good enough job,” Allen told ESPN.com. “There were a few games where defensive tackles and linebackers didn’t want to see me ever again. “I’ve done my job when they don’t want to go out there any more.” The postgame escape, in Allen’s mind, is football’s version of tapping out, a term he knows well as a state champion wrestler in high school."
