It was 2001, I had a field pass, and Michigan State got an extra second of clock time to make their miracle pass play happen to defeat the Wolverines. We parked in this beautiful wooded lot, and had a grand ol' time before the game. After the game, we did bad things...so many bad things that the lot in question no longer parks people on gamedays in East Lansing.
The flashback pictures are here:
It was a busy day for Teflon Dantonio's boys. Glenn Winston, formerly reinstated by the never criticized coach, was sentenced to his 2nd stint in the clink in less than a year. He'll be doing six months for his role in the ski-masked raid of a campus residence building. Allow me to bring in an impartial judge, Mr. Rittenburg of ESPN....
I keep thinking back to Dantonio's surprising decision to reinstate Winston in August. I'm not against second chances, and Winston, who comes from a very rough background, absolutely deserved one. But Michigan State took an enormous risk in bringing him back to campus, especially since his actions directly impacted another student-athlete (Sturges). As we now know, the decision totally backfired on Dantonio.
Yes, but learning from your mistakes is the most important thing. I would imagine that next time, Dantonio will be more strict about who he lets back on campus. Or not. Today,
Dantonio reinstated four players convicted in last year's residence hall assault. So there's that.Oh, and the best part....the headline in the Freep: "Glenn Winston Apologizes for Role in Dorm Altercation." Fuck you Mark Snyder.
But we're not done....
Mateen Cleaves, the pride of Spartyville, the better half and namesake of the Izzo lovechild, and the 2nd biggest NBA disappointment in history behind Shawn Respert,got arrested for DUI. That my friends, is spectacular.
Sparty on fellas.
Got an email yesterday from a Sparty fan that had this screenshot...
In case you can't see it, that says that the Spartans have not lost to Michigan in Football or Basketball in 855 days.
And that just pissed me off. So I just wanted to remind everyone that Michigan State last went to a Rose Bowl 8,102 days ago...or 22 years, 2 months, and 7 days ago.
In addition, because of this, this, and this, Michigan State has also had a representative in prison each of those 855 days. And, seeing this, I think the streak will continue.
In between chants of "little sister" and "shut up Beilein," I wondered if things could get any worse. It was 42-14 at that point...shades of Tommy Ammaker vs. Duke. Then the announcers mentioned that Michigan hadn't beaten Michigan State in football or basketball since 2007. That's pretty much three years ago. I'm almost done with this shit. Michigan falls to Michigan State 64-48.
Purdue and the Pricks were tied for the Big Ten title, and we helped the Assholes join them. Great. Michigan State and Ohio St are winning Big Ten titles...TOGETHER, and I'm wondering if we're gonna host any games in the CBIT. By the way, that's a Big Ten title sweep for Ohio State. Remember when Michigan won Big Ten titles in Football and Basketball in the same year? No you don't.
So if you're keeping score at home...
...haven't defeated Michigan State in hoops or football since 2007
...can't beat OSU in football, last win in 2003
...won't make NIT after making NCAA tournament last year and only graduating walk-ons
...three Big Ten wins in 2 years in football
You can't polish a turd. Happy Monday.
