MICHIGAN-MICHIGAN STATE: Dantonio to U-M: 'It's not over'; Hart's words sting Spartans

Dantonio was asked if he was amused by Michigan players pausing for a "moment of silence" at midfield at the end of the game, an action intended to mock a statement Dantonio made after U-M lost to Appalachian State. When informed of the loss, Dantonio jokingly asked if he should have a "moment of silence" for the Wolverines.

"I find a lot of the things that they do amusing," Dantonio said. "They need to check themselves sometimes. But just remember, pride comes before the fall."

Then a reporter asked Dantonio about Mike Hart's postgame comments in which he referred to MSU as the "little brother" of U-M.

"Does Hart have a little brother or is he the little brother?" Dantonio asked. "I don't know, he's ... that tall." Dantonio placed his hand to his chest to illustrate Hart's stature.

"I don't know, I didn't really see that comment. But like I said ... let's just say I won't comment on that." He paused for two seconds, then started again.

"I guess I can't help myself. As I said earlier, it's not over. I'm going to be a coach here for a long time. It's not over. It's just starting. I'm very proud of our football team, and I'm very proud of the way our football team handled themselves after the game, as well.

"We don't have to disrespect people. We'll come to play. We don't have to be disrespected. But if they want to make a mockery of it, so be it. Their time will come."

the whole thing seems stupid. a coach mocking a players height? i dont know about the little brother thing but if UM is dead what does that make the teams who lose to them?

maybe its just me but ive always found UM fans to be condescending. now pretending they are too good to consider MSU a rivalry...?

UM fans are indeed the most condescending football fans in the country, especially to MSU fans. Good for Dantonio for giving some back. In a year or two he'll have the Spartans to the point where they'll close those kinds of games out.
