The State News' Jeremy Warnemuende:
Are you ready to admit it yet?
I know it’s tough for you self-righteous and even more self-conscious
Michigan faithful to confess to any
sign of inferiority. But if someone already hasn’t done it for you, I’ll
be the one to let you know:
It’s over. It’s been 1,069 days and counting since the last time the
Wolverines have topped the Spartans —
in football or men’s basketball — and it’s official your time as self-
proclaimed big brother has run out.
I remember standing in the Michigan student section in 2008, singing the “
Michigan State Fight Song” with
the thousands of other MSU students and fans who invaded your sacred hole in
the ground to watch a 35-
21 Spartans’ win. I also remember whenever the eyesores known as U-M
students made their incredibly
predictable and dim-witted attempts to mock my education, it easily was
overpowered by chants of, “Go
Green. Go White.”
The high concentration of green and white in the crowd that day was no
coincidence.
MSU fans proudly packed into the Big House for a reason, knowing the game
was going to be the beginning
of a new era.
So far, so good.
The two straight wins speak for themselves, but the actions off the field
can be telling as well.
Big-time recruits now are flocking to East Lansing, while players already
committed to U-M are running
away from Rich Rodriguez like little kids fleeing from a strange man handing
out candy in his big, white
van.
All of your fans, Wolverines or otherwise, also have indicated how the
rivalry has changed. It eats you up
inside to know MSU is taking ownership of the annual matchup.
You claim this hardly is a rivalry and the game means nothing. MSU is just
another team on the schedule.
That must be why you’re buying up T-shirts that read, “The Big Game at the
Big House,” and hyping
tomorrow’s game like your season depends on the result.
You’re lying if you say it doesn’t bother you that two years after the
last game at the Big House, the Paul
Bunyan Trophy remains in East Lansing.
Sorry to break it to you, but he has no intentions of leaving.
You tried to snatch him away last year.
Quarterback Tate Forcier, then the Heisman front-runner and only known
hobbit in the U.S., led the
undefeated Wolverines into Spartan Stadium.
The little guy kept it close for a while, even managing to force overtime.
In the end, though, it was kind of
like when you play basketball against your little brother and you let him
hang around for a little while before
— well, you get the point.
Michigan once again brings an undefeated record into this year’s game and
has a new Heisman favorite
lining up behind center. Perfect.
The only thing better than beating a Wolverine when he’s down is knocking
him off his high horse — a
position you all love whether it’s deserved or not.
So when Denard Robinson — built more for the WNBA than college football —
takes the field against MSU,
don’t expect any of the Spartans to be worried. Instead, real Big Ten
football players, such as senior
linebacker Greg Jones, who hasn’t had a chance to hit someone Robinson’s
size since his freshman year of
high school, will be salivating at the opportunity in front of him.
Everyone is talking about what Robinson has done to the likes of Indiana and
Notre Dame — teams with
defenses so good they’ve almost cracked the top 85 in the country.
But much like last season, the hype won’t matter.
And like two years ago, neither will any home-field advantage.
Not after the additions to the Big House did nothing more than create extra
room for green-and-white-
clad fans to embarrass the U-M crowd, sitting on its hands as MSU destroys a
defense even Robinson would
feel bad for abusing.
Looking at what I’ve said and thinking about it more, I know nothing I can
say will help you accept the fact
the Spartans are taking over a rivalry you care about more than you’ll ever
admit. As the most delusional
fan base in the country, you just don’t have it in you.
However, maybe, after MSU extends the winning streak to 1,070 days tomorrow,
you’ll start to get the
point.
