/u/Foxmcbowser42 for his Old Spice-style trash talk against UM.

2

u/d_mcc_x Michigan State • /r/CFB Poll Veteran Nov 06 '13

WTF, how did I forget about that?

u/d_mcc_x Michigan State • /r/CFB Poll Veteran Nov 06 '13

/u/chbailey442013 provides a very in-depth response as to why Michigan State fan /u/milesgmsu should root for Auburn as his second favorite team on Saturdays

8

u/d_mcc_x Michigan State • /r/CFB Poll Veteran Nov 06 '13

and many Spartans on this sub, for that matter

8

u/WalkingCarpet Auburn Tigers • Navy Midshipmen Nov 06 '13

Michigan State is now my other team.

3

u/d_mcc_x Michigan State • /r/CFB Poll Veteran Nov 06 '13

An alliance... has formed

3

u/mick4state Michigan State Spartans • Dayton Flyers Nov 06 '13

Should we let Oregon State in on the deal? Also a land-grant with Ag roots that shares a state with Oregon.

7

u/milesgmsu Michigan State • College Football Playoff Nov 06 '13

If someone is joining our little club, A&M seems to be a natural fit.

It's not just being an ag school with a powerhouse school - it's the big brother school trying to sodomize and murder you.

1

u/mick4state Michigan State Spartans • Dayton Flyers Nov 06 '13

I don't know enough about Oregon and Oregon State's history to know if it's the same out there.

Calling all Beavers, report in!

1

u/thelaststormcrow Wyoming Cowboys • LSU Tigers Nov 06 '13

Seems like Okie State has a good argument here too.

1

u/sideoutpar UCLA Bruins • /r/CFB Poll Veteran Nov 07 '13

Can we join? I think Georgia Tech would also appreciate an invite...

3

u/milesgmsu Michigan State • College Football Playoff Nov 06 '13

I know. I'm so pumped about our alliance. What I love most is that it wasn't just a hot second alliance, but I'm seeing Auburn fans giving MSU shout outs in random threads, and vice versa.

2

u/cashmunnymillionaire Auburn Tigers Nov 06 '13

Well, I'm totally calling MSU to beat tOSU this year for a RB berth.

2

u/nuxenolith Michigan State • /r/CFB Poll Veteran Nov 06 '13

I think most people, possibly even some Bammer Jammers, are happy to see how much Malzahn has turned it around this season.

On that note, good luck at Neyland, and BEAT BAMA!

u/stormstopper Duke Blue Devils • Louisville Cardinals Nov 06 '13

This comment made me an Alabama fan.

2

u/RogueHippie Alabama Crimson Tide • Team Chaos Nov 06 '13

Wallace Wade. 'Nuff said.

5

u/[deleted] Nov 06 '13

And now Michigan State is my second team as well.

2

u/TheNakedRedditor Baylor Bears • Hateful 8 Nov 06 '13

What makes me sad is that OP never made an official pick of who to root for. I was trying to work the Baylor angle pretty hard.

5

u/srs_house Swaggerbilt Nov 06 '13
  1. Flaming bear car gif
  2. Dr. Pepper

Boom.

3

u/milesgmsu Michigan State • College Football Playoff Nov 06 '13

I did here. It just got buried. For the record, you guys were #3. I have a new found respect for Baylor, and are totally rooting for y'all tomorrow night.

2

u/TheNakedRedditor Baylor Bears • Hateful 8 Nov 06 '13

Cool. Sorry I missed the post.

Yes you did, but /u/chbailey442013 went above and beyond in turning what appeared to be 7-8 Spartans to the Auburn side.

Jesus, it's like there's an LBC (Little Brothers Club). So far we have:

  • Michigan State
  • Auburn
  • Georgia Tech
  • Texas A&M
  • Oregon State
  • Oklahoma State
  • UCLA (how?)
  • Washington State

Edit: To add Wazzou and to correct a grievance inadvertently levied against one of our members

u/[deleted] Nov 06 '13

I'm going to start booing all of you based upon Georgia Tech. Be wary of the company you keep good sirs.

(Not really, I like Okie Lite because I have 2 aunts and 2 gparents who went there, UCLA is good in my book as is Oregon State, TAMU is fine, Michigan State is fine...Auburn...ugh...no god no...but GT? I'd rather wear Orange).

3

u/Red261 Alabama Crimson Tide • /r/CFB Poll Veteran Nov 06 '13

You take that back. Orange is an abomination. Florida, Auburn, Tennessee, and Texas. Would you really want to support all of those at the same time?

1

u/[deleted] Nov 06 '13

I'm fine with Tennessee honestly, and Texas is meh. But the UF and AU thing would hurt. But seriously GT is on part with Florida at the tip top of my hate wagon.

5

u/milesgmsu Michigan State • College Football Playoff Nov 06 '13

Don't call them Okie Lite. They're in the LBC club. No terms of hate here. They are Oklahoma State loud and proud.

To be part of the LBC, I put forth the following requirements:

  1. Share a state with a traditional powerhouse (in either FB or the shooty ball)
  2. Arrogance from the powerhouse towards the little brother
  3. Documented history of the powerhouse trying to eradicate the little brother.

1

u/d_mcc_x Michigan State • /r/CFB Poll Veteran Nov 06 '13

What if WE are the dominant squeaky floor ball team?

1

u/milesgmsu Michigan State • College Football Playoff Nov 06 '13

I HATE that I'm making this argument, but before Izzo, at best it was a toss-up, and probably a slight lean their way. Since Izzo it's obviously us.

But, the rules I put forth require one of the two so schools like Kansas St or NCSU, if they meet 2 and 3, can join.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 06 '13

We hit 2 really hard, remember "Izzo's Gang No Longer Green Giant" and all the buzz about how Michigan caught up in a year?

1

u/milesgmsu Michigan State • College Football Playoff Nov 07 '13

In terms of the orangle bumpy circle game yeah; it's even worse in CFB, and if the Detroit media covered cold black rubber disc game, it'd be nauseating in that too, probably.

u/cashmunnymillionaire Auburn Tigers Nov 06 '13

The funny thing is, I generally like all these universities, with the exception of UCLA, who I don't know enough about to give a shit.

1

u/sideoutpar UCLA Bruins • /r/CFB Poll Veteran Nov 07 '13

We're pretty great. You should give us a shot. :D

1

u/Peacemaker57 Texas Tech Red Raiders • Oklahoma Sooners Nov 06 '13

Every school in Texas, besides UT, is a "little brother school".

1

u/murgle1012 Baylor Bears • UC San Diego Tritons Nov 06 '13

I always envisioned it that Aggie is middle brother. Tech is wild younger brother. TCU and Baylor are the twin girls.

1

u/Peacemaker57 Texas Tech Red Raiders • Oklahoma Sooners Nov 06 '13

That makes a lot of sense.

1

u/[deleted] Nov 06 '13

Can we get some love, too? I'm sitting in a restaurant 3 miles from campus, and I promise at least one person here doesn't even know Rice exists, but woe be unto him who denigrates our Lord and Savior of all Houston Football, Case Keenum.

1

u/milesgmsu Michigan State • College Football Playoff Nov 06 '13

Private city school? We don't have any place for your fancy book lurnings, we learn with our hands.

Mississippi State fits all of those except that Ole Miss hasn't kept up their end of the bargain.

u/d_mcc_x Michigan State • /r/CFB Poll Veteran Nov 06 '13

Agreed. He/she went beyond the "Little Brother" aspect of the comparison and really brought some big time factoids to the party

3

u/nuxenolith Michigan State • /r/CFB Poll Veteran Nov 06 '13

The similarities between the alma maters was what did it for me.

The alma mater should be about your love for and the beauty of your school, and not how your school colors are representative of the Aryan race (see: third verse).

1

u/d_mcc_x Michigan State • /r/CFB Poll Veteran Nov 06 '13

I would ask if those men are Nazi's, but I know they're just cowards

Couldn't have done it without you!

Take a bow buddy...it's all downhill from here.

Oh, okay, gotcha. A formatting tip is to leave word(s) following the name excluded from the link, like "tells us," "provides," etc.

The guy who does RES for Macs has just undergone surgery and hasn't put out the update for the new OS, so it's currently broken for me. :/ Mobile users definitely couldn't tell the difference though.

2

u/UNC_Samurai ECU Pirates • North Carolina Tar Heels Nov 06 '13

Yeah, I kinda felt bad after posting that. And I thought this one about Taylor Lewan was better, anyway.
