Midnight Maize: Classless Fans

Hi RCMB!!!

12:00 PM

Welcome to Midnight Maize! It's always nice to have new readers. Especially readers as intelligent, upstanding, and classy as you! After seeing the thread on which you linked to our humble blog, I was amazed by a level of discourse that has yet to be matched on any University of Michigan blog. Here's a sample that I really, truly think does your fanbase justice:

So in one corner we have mrlmichael. We have learned several things about him today:

He is a Michigan fan who did not go to the school. He roots for Michigan because he was treated for a rare form of childhood arthritis that had made it very difficult for him to walk at the University of Michigan. This treatment allowed him to grow up normally.
He went to a community college to get his education while taking care of his grandmother who had a broken neck.
When his grandmother was able to take care of herself, he chose to serve in the armed forces of the United States.

Most benighted Michigan fans would find all of this to be incredibly positive. In fact, we might say that he has a heartwarming life story and respect him for it. But thanks to our Spartan friends at the RCMB, we have been educated as to what a worthless human being mrlmichael really is. Just think about it, he's a Michigan fan who, God forbid, didn't go to the University of Michigan. Therefore, we have to conclude that he's an idiot and a drain on society, despite his service to our country and his care for his grandmother. Normal, decent people might find such sentiment to be idiotic, classless, and generally below-board, but enlightened Spartans know better.

I am Rooting for Ohio State Next Week

10:08 PM

This is a first for me. Until now, I have consistently held two rooting interests every Saturday without fail:

1) I always root for Michigan to win. This is a given and should go without saying.

2) I always rooted for Ohio State to lose. This was secondary in importance to Michigan winning, but a loss by Ohio State made Michigan wins seem sweeter and Michigan losses easier to take.

I will break this trend on Saturday, when Ohio State plays Indiana. This is because I will be rooting for Indiana to lose every game for the rest of the season, and possibly eternity as well. This is because the Indiana fanbase is utterly classless and doesn't deserve a decent team. In addition to throwing things at Kevin Koger after he scored and chanting "Break his leg" at Denard, they cheered when Denard went down with an injury. I have never heard Ohio Stadium filled with cheers when a player was injured. In fact, I've never heard any fanbase cheer an injury to an opposing player. I didn't expect Indiana fans to be sad that Denard went down, but cheering it is utterly classless.

So I hope that Ohio State eviscerates Indiana next week. I hope that they keep every starter in for the entire game and win 87-0. And I hope that every Indiana fan who cheered Denard's injury cries throughout every game for the rest of the season. They deserve it.

*My apologies to any Indiana fans who are decent people who happen to read this post. I'm sure there are many of you. However, many of your fellow Hoosier fans are reprehensible and do not deserve any reason to ever be happy about football.
