Michigan State is, apparently, full of Internet gems. The football program -- and people around it -- have thrust themselves onto the blog-o-sphere for some of their more outlandish and memorable moments. Here at the Footblog, we're proud to serve them up. We hope you enjoy them as much as we did.

This first is link is a radio rant by a Michigan State alum and Detroit talk-show host Mike Valenti. Priceless. Classic. Scary. I've heard it all describe this clip. It's long -- about 15 minutes -- but you owe it to yourself to listen. I promise, you won't be let down.

For context, Valenti tears into a rage because his beloved Spartans blew their huge game against Notre Dame a week earlier. (That was way back when Notre Dame was good.) Some of the more memorable moments in the clip:

-- He compares members of the now-departed members of the Michigan State coaching staff to the famous children's puppets H.R. Pufnstuf and Teddy Ruxpin.
-- He claims that the Spartans "choked on applesauce."
-- He reminds former Michigan State coach John L. Smith that time outs are not like cell phone minutes -- "they don't carry over."

In truth, that clip has been around since last fall. And, rest assured, The Daily Collegian sports staff has thoroughly enjoyed it since.

This next bit of multimedia is more current. Just a few weeks ago, Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio called out Michigan for some of its on-the-field behavior following the Wolverines win against the Spartans. By the sounds of it, that rivalry won't be dying down any times soon.
