An inconsistent and underachieving football team from East Lansing,
Michigan. They are marked by a mascot with a giant head and an inferiority complex expressed through their hatred for the University of
Michigan. A typical spartan will jeer and trash-talk before the Michigan-MSU game and, win or lose, burn a couch or two; riot; and trash-talk after the game.
The females of the species can be identified by a pleasing-to-the-eye countenance, but a very limited vocabulary and understanding of basic social skills. The males are unkempt, wearing either school colors (white and
green) or
t-shirts bearing cartoon images of large-breasted women and
drunk men peeing. They generally smell of alcohol and have difficulty forming complete sentences.
MSU fan: "
Michigan sucks, dude!"
Michigan fan: "But Michigan just
beat the spartans convincingly."
MSU fan: "Yeah, but Michigan still sucks, dude!"
Michigan fan: "The spartan coaching staff did not make adequate in-game adjustments to Michigan's running game."
MSU fan: "Whatever dude. Michigan sucks and I'm burning a couch."
Michigan fan: *shakes head and walks away dumbfounded*
