I get Bandwagon fans. Don't blame them at all. Not one bit.

I go to most of the MSU games at home for a number of reasons, I'm 90 minutes away, I love the actual game itself, hell even in the bad years, I loved watching the strategy unfold out there (yeah tTy, that's why I like endzone seats), and I love seeing old college friends, and now their kids going to MSU too. Very fun to tailgate. It's more than winning and losing games up there. Sure has been way more fun going to games lately. Love the winning part way more than the losing part.

But I understand the bandwagon fans. If they go for just the winning and get frustrated with a bad product, it doesn't make them bad fans, it makes them frustrated with losing and they love to see MSU win. It's like me going to a meat store. If Nino Salvagio sold rancid meat for 4 years running, I'm not going in to buy the meat. No way. Then, if they start getting grade A cuts of fresh stuff again, I'd go back. If someone stopped me in line and said "Great, you're coming back here now, but where were you when the meat was rancid?" I'd look at them like WTF are you talking about, I'm not paying money to buy rancid meat.

I get that.

What I don't get are the people who don't see the big picture of the programs and understand that it takes key pieces and yes, luck to win it all . But I do get that people can be bandwagon fans. Don't blame them.

They're bad Spartans and you're a bad spartan for condoning their actions. Your card please.

You'd buy rancid meat TOC. You're stoopid

Thanks for understanding. Very big of you. It's simple economics.

I'm Spartan to the bone.. my blood runs green and white.

I would not. That would be gross.

Your card.

Hey wait, I'm at 90% of every god damn game, rain or shine. I was there through the shitty times. Why do I need to pass in my card cause I understand we have people who put winning over being a Good Spartan like Bob and I?

Is it meat or economics?

Or neither?

Because you sympathize with them instead of destroying them as monsters and labeling them as bad Spartans.

Maybe next time you won't take your spartan duties so lightly. Not that there will be a second chance.

I don't like to judge people. But I think I'll Judge Travis. I'm doing it right now.

Win or lose it's just a game. I like just going out showing a little school spirit, staying connected to the university and cheering on the Spartans.

I, too, like to raise my Spartan shield. Sportsmanship and smiling is the only thing that matters. I wish they wouldn't even keep score.

I still can't believe that these fine, young Spartan student-athletes walk across the same ground that I did. That is reason enough to support them.

I got a letterman's sweater
With a letter in front
I got for football and track
I'm proud to where it now
When I cruise around
The other parts of the town
I got a decal in back

I've never been there. I have walked/ran by many times.. this morning, even.. usually dodging the puddles of vomit along the sidewalk.

I was referring to our fine, young Spartan student-athletes that participate in the academic experience.

....My girlfriend will be working on her pom-poms now
And she'll be yelling tonight

So be true to your school

I just love all Spartans. All of you. you're all a part of the family and I'm blessed that your fans. If you feel bad about a Spartan defeat, know that I'm there for you to vent too. I understand your pain. God bless all of you.

Does God root for MSU or one of the private religious schools?

Not going to lie, I am kind of a bandwagon church guy. I go on Christmas Eve, and sometimes on Easter.

Only when we're winning. And I get that.

I don't think there are any bandwagon fans that post on an obscure message board with like thirty posters where the slightest hint of nipple gets you banished for decades. Just talking about your audience choice here.

It's ok. Travis is a drag on this board and society as a whole. If this were Nazi Germany we'd have a final solution for the Travis problem.

You would endorse genocide. You are worse than a bad spartan, which is an unthinkably low thing to be.

Hey, say hello to hitler and Bo for me when you die.

Are they in heaven or hell?

depends on the public nature of the prayer.. if it's at the 50 yard line in full view of fans and cameras, the power of prayer is exponential, therefore more powerful and more easily acknowledged by Him.

Bo is the DC and Hitler is the OC for Jo Pa's Hades Hell-Fires. Hitler has put together a formidable offense this year. He Scrimmaged Charles de Gaulle's Pillow Biters and basically over ran them in the first quarter.

Their main competition Elysium Pearly-Gates. They haven't put an offense or defense together yet, but they know if they get killed, they can get a rematch three days later.
