Michigan-Michigan State rivalry inspires a tattoo and other Big Ten notes
By AnnArbor.com Staff
Michigan State defensive tackle Jerel Worthy has a new tattoo that's causing a buzz in the Spartans' training camp.
The tattoo dominates his left upper arm area, and it shows a Spartan warrior standing over a crushed foe, which sports a block "M." A big dig at Michigan?
"The Michigan State fans know my passion for this rivalry, they know my passion for this team and they know I will fight for this team until the day I die," Worthy told The Grand Rapids Press. "That's basically one thing I wanted the Michigan State fan base to know."

Apparently Worthy really doesn't like Missouri, considering that's not a michigan helmet.

You know that you are in their heads, when they mark up their bodies over you. Sparty On. Your 3 year free pass has come to an end.

Scott: Players sell jerseys they legally own = NCAA violation, coach fired. University sell jerseys they legally own = NCAA says "Garage sale." Can UM and the NCAA spell, "INCONSISTENT?" Apparently not all sports memoriablia is equal.

Tressel = retired? resigned in shame? or paid off for his silence? Which is it?

Hailmary: Another pompous posting about UM being "above" other schools. Get over yourself already! Blue alum's elitism makes UM a joke around the nation. You're just not THAT great (except in you own mind). PS: May I please see the paid receipt on that tatoo?

sour grapes much? Also, if you want to talk smack to Michigan fans, you might want to make the subject of your joke about a Michigan player, not someone from MSU...

If I were from tsio I wouldn't be talking much about being on par with any school right now after the embarrassment your school/program/fans/state are going through in ignorant fashion.....

Let me see if I've got this right. michigan state football players admire and need an ugly, mutilating tatoo to motivate their football team. I think I like Michigan's (Wolves) motivational tools better, Outstanding University, Outstanding tradition with a hugh winning record over everone else in college football, Outstanding loyal fans, Outstanding arena, "The Big House" , Outstanding coaching staff and last but not least, Outstanding head coach Brady Hoke that is not a Jim Tressel diciple and wanna be.
