Excuse me? What is this supposed to mean? One side suspended 8 players in the brawl. Another side has injured players for who knows how long. Let's not beat around the bush, it was assault. But it's apparently "justified" because those poor MSU kids beating that player up were "victims". Please.
Sparty is, and always has been, awful. This is no deviance from their typical rhetoric. Pat Narduzzi, former MSU defensive coordinator, actively encouraged in a press conference to "beat them up". Do you think this is okay?
"That's what we try to do, play 60 minutes of unnecessary roughness," Pat Narduzzi, MSU's fiery defensive coordinator, said. "Any time you get a win over a top 10, top 11 team, whatever they are, or were, it keeps you confident."
MSU has a long history of doing classless stunts. Remember, they were the one who first planted the flag on ND. Then, when Illinois tried to do the same, Michigan State players started a fight.
Dont' believe me?
I have closely watched MSU football for over 2 decades. They are pure scum.
