But after watching Saturday's game, I could finally feel sorry for the Spartans. But it's not because they never achieve to their talent level. And it's not because they continually shoot themselves in the foot with stupid, horrible penalties that kill their own or extend the opponent's drives. Nor is it because of their bonehead plays, and illogical coaching. It's not even the losing to inferior teams - even after occasionally beating highly-ranked teams.
No, I feel sorry for Sparty fans because most of them live in Michigan, and have to experience déjà vu all over again every Sunday when they watch their Lions do the exact same things on a professional level. Growing up a football fan in Michigan I suffered with the fucking Lions. But at least I had the Wolverines to fall back on. For Spartan fans there's no relief. Just a nightmare every Saturday and Sunday.To understand what I'm talking about, watch the video below - it's a perfect metaphor for being a Spartan and Lion fan. And it's damn funny.

that is some funny shit
Oh man, there's nothing funnier than real people being in horrible pain.
i'm not sure which is funnier- the kid screaming in terror & pain- or the woman laughing @ 'em?
just wonderfully horrific!
Apparently we as UM fans are the woman who can't help but laugh at Sparty's misery.
Just imagine being a USC fan in the late 90s when we sucked...and had no NFL team to make up for it.
Now, imagine that same video in Los Angeles, but replace the fat chick with a liposuctioned housewife, and she'd slip right through the seatbelt. That would be some funny shit.
Hold, I said, hold back that sympathy. I was in (L)East Lansing the last two times Sparty beat Michigan. Everytime I start to feel a pang of pity, I just go back and remember how that felt.
I kind of pull for Sparty when they are not playing Michigan, but that too is dangerous. Remember that when Sparty is strong, Michigan loses recruits to them.
Ideally, they would be Sparty the Spoiler, winning about half of their games, and winning when it is advantageous for Michigan. (Like in '04, when Sparty paved the way for a Michigan Rose Bowl.)
You should feel sorry for Texas fans, this is what our in-state rival looks like:
