Legendary Michigan coach Bo Schembechler began his long tenure in Ann Arbor with a famous rallying cry: "Those who stay will be champions." The phrase has become a part of Wolverines lore.
But Michigan's in-state rival twisted the slogan a bit to twist the knife on the Maize and Blue. Spartans staffer Curtis Blackwell II sent out a tweet Thursday afternoon containing a picture of the team's players who hail from Detroit. On the right side of the photo is a message that reads: "Those who stayed are already champions."
"Since Mark Dantonio arrival in 2007 every Spartan that has stayed at MSU for 4 years has won a Big Ten championship," says the fine print under the bold phrase.
