Its great to be a Spartan.. Great to Beat Michigan in their stadium.. The Spartans went to AnnArbor on a business trip.. And got the job done ! They didn’t fold in the forth quarter.. Hoyer, Ringer did a herculean job.. the Entire Team was focused. Dantonio,  had everyone prepared and ready for a drawn out fight.

Prior to the Game, In a bar with the WORST BEER on the Planet (Grizzly Peak)  a Wolverine fan came up to our table in his Blue #1 jersey and said.. "Hey Sparty.. you gunna shit your diaper again.. " .. real Nice.. Nice Welcome to AnnArbor.. This is the reason I hate going there.. We had a couple ladies at the table.. But we let it go..

I was reluctant to go to the Game.. but damn glad I did.. Would have hated to miss the Victory... The SpartyMSU crew and 30K Spartans stayed after the game to listen to the Band, Continuing to Yell Go Green Go White .... Listening to it echo in the stadium... all but empty for the clean up crew and a Bunch of Spartans...

How sweet it is to be the ones to crush the Wolverines 2008 Bowl hopes.. How SWEET it is !!!

We Came.. We Dropped a Spartan Bomb on your Ass...

Even with "Money Swenson" missing the field goals.. It felt like a different team from years past.. The Spartans were not going to go away.. we were not intimidated by the Wolverines…

4th quarter: 4th down and a foot.. Dantonio Calls for us to Go for it.. This play sealed the deal.. Spartans got the first down and kept the drive alive to get them up 35 – 21…

In the stands the “Go Green.. Go White” Cheers were loud all during the game.. but grew in the 4th quarter.. Grew to a deafening "Go Green... Go White" after the successful forth down conversion…

While standing for a Key 3rd down Spartan defensive stop , standing and cheering, I kept on hearing “Sit down Sparty.. this is our house…”  This continued several quarters, finally I turned around, looked at the little nerdy pipsqueak of a wolverine and told him to “Fuck off”… that seemed to be the end of the comments in the stand, he tucked in his tail.. They are arrogant SOBs.. even when they are loosing.. 

“But when his heart became arrogant and hardened with pride, he was deposed from his royal throne and stripped of his glory.”(Daniel 5:20)

The Spartan Nation has been waiting for this.. and our years of patience is being rewarded !

Its Great to be a Spartan !!


Sparty ON !!!!
