Only anarchists are pretty...

I know you've gotten used to these modern days of players who've stayed at college for their 5th, 6th, 7th or 18th year to play football, but I think you need to know: A 4th year senior is simply a fucking senior.

Check this out, from the Detroit Free Press:

Ah, just the kind of thing a classic rivalry always needs -- a little bulletin board material to add a little more spice.

I love how Michigan people are still bitching about 2 years ago. So for once a call went against you, quit your whining. You always get calls in your favor, it's about time you starting getting some against you.

Anyway, I'll probably just watch at home this year. I don't really have any friends here interested in the game anymore, even though I have a nice new MSU bar at the end of my block. Gametime is 11 a.m. on Saturday, too, which makes it easier to watch at home. Besides, Dad'll be calling me every quarter to chat anyway. :)

Interesting bit from the article:

Coach John L. Smith's rules:

-Get up and go to class.

-In the box lunches handed out on road trips, dessert must be a candy bar (preferably Snickers), not cookies.

-Do things for other people: the Spartans have participated in area projects with children and the homeless.

-You have to win every day. The magic doesn't just happen on Saturday.

-There must be flavored water in the coaching office.

-You weren't as bad as the fans thought when they dogged you. You're not as good as they think now that they're praising you. "Everybody is patting you on the back, and saying, 'You're neat,' and you're not," Smith said. "Don't ever start thinking that."

-The most important rule may be the one he laid down to the Spartans upon his arrival last December. All we want, Smith told the team, is all you've got. "We've got a bunch of guys playing as hard as we can play," Smith said, "If you get that, good things will happen. If they know you love them, they'll try to do everything they can do."
