I just want to remind everyone of the stakes this weekend. Hate Week comes but once a year.

Whoever is on the right looks absolutely

PISSED.

And that is awesome.

Win the beard.

Man I hate those Michigan State Spartans

and everything they stand for!!!

Thank god we have this arbitrary rivalry shoved down our throats, otherwise Sparty would just be one more meaningless Big-10 matchup (aside from this year where we’re actually battling them to see who gets to be co-Big-10 champs with O$U…though at least we get the tiebreaker for the Rose Bowl…neenerneenerneeener)

That beard is

RIGHTEOUS!

Hay, why is he wearing it at all.
They won last year. :(

I may actually die laughing

That was my first ever post on this board.

Back in July or August. My posts have been downhill since then.

At that rate of degradation

You’ll be at my level sometime in 2013

John Madden told me 90% of the game was half-mental...

Truth be told

when it comes to the hatin’ the Iowa-Minnesota Hate Bowl is full of win.

I can only hope the winner gets a Silky Johnston pewter statuette.

This is it!

For years we have been looking for the new Pitt for a rival. Truly, there is no real replacement, so maybe we ought to rethink our goals. Clearly Army-Navy is the best rivalry in college football (and arguably in all of sports), so I hereby nominate Penn State-Michigan State as the “Best Contrived Rivalry in College Football”.

It’s all about branding, folks…

Maybe if the trophy was cooler I could get really jacked up about this "rivalry"

A great way to work on a rivalry

is to continously play for the championship every year…

by psu1313 on Nov 20, 2008 8:48 AM EST 0 recs

Agree...

If Michigan State wins on Saturday, you might begin to feel the hate…

Look what my kid made in Kindergarten this week!!!!

I love the Dundie on top

It’s like the ultimate trophy in “The Office”

by Cairo on Nov 20, 2008 10:32 AM EST up 0 recs

This may be

The clearest picture I’ve ever seen of the trophy. I’ve never noticed that small square under the Nittany lion and next to the spartan. What the hell is that?

Looks like

a picture of the same two buildings you see pictures of down lower. Cuz, like, there was some space there so they had to put something.

I thought that was an oscar

I don't know, Mello Yello is pretty awful. What's the worst that could happen?

Look at the Chris Baker LGT pic again:

Here’s the link:

Isn’t the dude on top pointing a different direction in both pics? Does the thing spin around or is it just not screwed on correctly?

I’m beginning to think it’s literally from a plastic track trophy that George Perles found in an East Lansing athletic goods shop.

Nice...

I think it’s like a windvane… or maybe it always point to magnetic north… ::sigh::: what a piece of crap

I say we win the ugly thing

Then put it in an unlocked cabinet in the lasch building and the nut-job who broke in there and busted up the place this year can make a second trip and bust up this not hot “trophy”.
