U of M vs. MSU

[agentsmith]

You call it maize, we call it corn.

I remember being at a gas station a number of years ago where the clerk mentioned something about scUM getting their asses handed to them. I said "thank God!". The guy behind me, dressed up in scUM game day attire, said "excuse me?". I turned to face him and said "Go blue, go blow". I helped ruin his already bad day.

Serious question here - Why do MSU fans hate U of M so much? Is it because you lose to us most of the time? We don't hate you. Even in basketball, where you punch us in the mouth all of the time. I usually cheer for State, unless they are playing the Wolverines.

I don't know how it all started, but I know where students at MSU get their hatered: it's taught, plain and simple. That school's faculty started my rabid dislike of UofM. It's not as blatent as I make it seem, but from the day if my orientation, there has been re unspoken rivalry boiling under. The only time it gets to a head is when the game happens and usualy there is a riot in cedar village. Not a real riot, but a few couches will be on fire and poilice will tear gas any pedestrian in the area. MSU as a whole is a fairly roudy school, so any excuse to go crazy is taken.
