Thanks to SiC for pointing this out.Not sure if this qualifies on the "Pride comes before the Fall" or "Sparty you are more pathetic than we would ever know" category. Either way, prepare yourselves to see this T-Shirt on every pizza delivery person and bartender you see in the state of Michigan for the next couple of months.
This is the last thing I am going to say about this subject until next year.
Congrats Sparty, you just:
1) Won your first game at Michigan Stadium in 18 years
2) Beat the Michigan for the first time in seven attempts
3) Beat the worst Michigan team in 40 years
4) Allowed a pathetic 2-6 football team hang in the game for 3 quarters
5) Improved your overall record against Michigan to 67-29-5
Weak.
Edit: Digital billboards oh my....

I doubt it will out-sell their all time favorite shirt for your typical MSU "Man About Campus":

We should also point out that the last time they won at Sparty Stadium was with an assist from the Sparty timekeeper and the last time they won at Michigan Stadium was when Howard got mugged in the end zone on the two point conversion. Now that is something to be proud of.
some events merit a tee shirt. GVSU beating MSU in b-ball? App St beating us in football? sure. i don't begrudge smaller, lower division schools celebrating once in a lifetime upsets.
also, some events are just "big". winning a conference championship? bowl game?
but a tee shirt for winning a game you play every year? our streak against PSU was longer than MSU. i didn't see any tees after that (though if they made them, it would sound like a cry for help, if you ask me).
then again, we are Michigan. nice to know we matter even when we are 2-6.
exactly.
nice billboards.
the lady doth protest too much
enjoy your morsel while you can Sparty
gobluebob: Thanks for pointing that out. Nobody else ever does.
What;s the final word on any suspensions from their fight they had prior? I'm curious to see how many kids were involved and how they were able to push it off till after the game.
I think the shirt and the billboards are some of the least surprising things I have ever seen. The saddeswt thing (for them) is that I can't muster the slightest bit of "outrage"
