I just find it hilarious that ten years after the kid first played against MSU, Sparty fans are still bent out of shape about the guy. To which I say *hart picture*

UMxWolverines
Is that any different than us being bent out of shape for no pass interference in 1990 or Spartan Bob in 2001 still?

One-time bad calls versus hating a kid for talking and producing... Not the same thing.

I don't see the comparison between a bad call by the officials and random comments by a player.

The convenient forgetting of the "moment of silence" comment after Appalachian State is even worse, to me. Along with Hart's comments, it was Michigan players gathering at midfield in Spartan Stadium for a "moment of silence" that set off Dantonio's bitchy little rant. I mean, seriously, what nerve. That's why I will never have an iota of respect for him personally no matter how many times he beats Michigan. Seeing an alleged man go and make such a pathetic victim of himself over something he initiated is nauseating.

We dominated the 2003 game much more than the scoreboard showed.  We were up 27-13 and driving when Navarre fumbled and it was returned for a TD - a huge swing that made the final score respectable.  
Actually, almost exactly the same thing happened in the 4th quarter of the 2005 game as well.  MSU tied it up on another defensive TD right when we were driving to put the nail in the coffin.

Agreed. Michigan State's respectability in the 2003 game sprang from that fumble and a blown coverage on one huge play, Agim Shabaj's long bomb TD reception. Michigan was carrying the play then and in 2005. The only games Michigan truly stole were the 2004 and 2007 contests.

2005
that was a garbage call and a garbage review, clearly arm going forward and an incomplete pass.....

In the 2011 game, we had the ball down 21-14 in the 4th quarter.  How did we have no chance?
Last year it was 16-6 going into the 4th quarter - not an ideal situation to be in, but not hopeless.  It was around that time we intercepted a pass and then went backwards.
We sucked offensively in those games, but it's not like we didn't have opportunities.

It would nice to actually link the post you're quoting.
BTW, I've seen a few references to the 2012 game as a "miracle" and I don't get it.  We played them pretty evenly that day and had the lead the majority of the game.  It would have been unfortunate if we'd lost.  I remember us settling for a FG after Denard missed a wide-open Gallon in the endzone, so it's not like we capitalized on every chance.

Bullcrap.  This rivalry has historically been a bigger deal to them than us.  When we've won our fanbase has followed the "Act like you've been there before" mantra while they've run their mouths whenever they've managed to beat us.  Hart in 2007 was a rare case of a Michigan player taking the bait - and even then Dantonio made a total ass of himself after that, determined to get the final word in.
And we didn't run it up on Bobby Williams (I assume you're talking about him and not JLS) - Lloyd cleared his bench and our 3rd-stringers still scored on their awful D.

I think my favorite part of the whole 2001 fallout was the next time we played them in hockey at Yost, we were winning big, IIRC, and the clock operator stopped the clock at 1 second at the end of the third period. It was kept that way for a good five seconds while the guys skated around on the ice. It was right in the midst of a stretch of pretty acrimonious games, lots of fights and really bad feelings all around, so it was at least a nice consolation.

This is the best comment on this thread.
WE did this.  This is not something Dantonio did to us.
He got their heads out of their asses and fielded a competitive program, but he still would not be able to walk all over mid-90's Michgian.  We're the ones that allowed that.
And we're the ones that need to fix it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These idiots yearn for the era where they had one big game a year. Where they had unlimited scholarships, and one rival. The bottom line is that college football is a competitive business now. And they don't have the skills to compete. They are the dinosaur with a Rolodex, while everyone else has adapted and moved on. Fuck them. Let em wallow in their house of cards traditions. Let em circle jerk over a history built on fraud.

Agreed, except for most of them, you don't need a rolodex to sweep floors, work on the assembly line or mow grass.

I think this is the first I've heard of the clock operator in Yost being a giant assbag.

they are really unkind..

I wonder if there is a Bobby Sak-esque  poster on mgoblog. That would amuse me.

You probably like picking at your own scabs too.

fuck State

Mike Hart was an excellent player, student, and representative for the University of Michigan. He always did the right thing and he earned the right to say whatever the fuck he wanted. If you listen to the quote again you'll hear Mike say "that's what [MSU] thinks we think of them. So if they say it I'll agree].

I was on that team and Mike was pissed off because Dantonio had a moment of silence after M lost to Apo State. That's why after beating Sparty all the players huddled around, took a knee and had a moment of silence for Dantonio. You want to talk about humility? Maybe a head coach should show more maturity than a college kid.

MSU got good because Rodriguez let MSU top M in recruiting the state and Brady can't develop players. Little brother, their fans, and Coach D can't let it go because they know we'll be back.

In closing screw MSU and screw Dantonio. He insulted UofM and Mike Hart took it personally. I wish we had players with that kind of intensity and love for M.

love that those clowns always bring up the moment of silence like it was the first thing on Dantonio's mind...not a question the blue wall kept asking him about after our game.

I'm glad we hate each other. They have their reasons we have ours. I'll never give up my warm blanket of hate for all things SCum. I hope they never give theirs up either, but, if they do, well, fuck them anyway. It may be irrational, but I like it.
