It's Called Karma

After losing to Michigan, it sounds like the folks at MSU can dish it out, but can't take it.

Dantonio to U-M: 'It's not over'; Hart's words sting Spartans

EAST LANSING -- The already heated Michigan-Michigan State rivalry has gone nuclear, even though the teams don't play again for 354 days.

Yes, coach Mark Dantonio is counting them.

"Can you tell my tone?" Dantonio said at his Monday news conference, time usually spent looking ahead to the next opponent.

"This game is an important game. If they want to mock us, I'm telling them, it's not over. They can print all that crap all they want all over their locker room -- it's not over. It will never be over here. It's just starting."

No, it's over.

...Dantonio was asked if he was amused by Michigan players pausing for a "moment of silence" at midfield at the end of the game, an action intended to mock a statement Dantonio made after U-M lost to Appalachian State. When informed of the loss, Dantonio jokingly asked if he should have a "moment of silence" for the Wolverines.

"I find a lot of the things that they do amusing," Dantonio said. "They need to check themselves sometimes. But just remember, pride comes before the fall."

But, didn't Coach Dantonio start the whole thing by making the "moment of silence" remark in the first place?

I'll answer that, yes.

..."We don't have to disrespect people. We'll come to play. We don't have to be disrespected. But if they want to make a mockery of it, so be it. Their time will come."

Oh come on, pretty much the entire country was ALL over Michigan after their debacle with Appalachian State. So, it's laughable for MSU people to act as though they've always taken the high road.

...Quarterback Brian Hoyer took a similar tone.

"If anybody hadn't taken this personal up to this point, it's personal," Hoyer said. "Sooner or later, the little brother -- if you want to put us that way -- you get pushed around, and little brother fights back and kicks the other brother's ass.

Since this is Hoyer's last year, it'll have to be never.
