One of those messages appeared in East Lansing, above Spartan Stadium (not by design according to U-M officials). What did you think of the Wolverines' idea? Joshua Bennett: "Hilarious! Unless you're a Spartan." Abraham Schafer: "It was done tastefully, and I fully thought it was done to elicit a response from Michigan State. Also it didn't harm anyone. People get so bent out of shape for nothing." James R. Leppek: "I think they should do it every Saturday." Wanda Lincoln: "What did it cost?" Kurt Riley: "It's an innocent poke at our 'Little Brother.' It's good natured and fun." James Baumer: "Put one over Columbus too." V Jay Ojeda: "We're better than this. How many thousands did this cost and how much they want to charge me for parking???" Nancy Pickus: "Terrible, stupid and childish. Where's our class? As dumb as playing the 'chicken song' after the Notre Dame win." Chris Keezer: "I love the fact that Spartan fans would get mad over something harmless. It is all part of the rivalry and is in good fun."
