Two Big Ten Universities, Taylor Swift and a GIF War

January 20, 2015

This afternoon, Tony Garcia was just reminiscing about the greatest decision we all ever made – saying yes to MSU…

4 years ago today I was accepted to @UWMadison. A few weeks later I decided to attend @michiganstateu. Best decision I have ever made.

And as a result, he accidentally began a Taylor Swift Twitter GIF war between MSU and the University of Wisconsin…

Michigan State’s own Black Sheep jumped in and landed their own shot against their own rival.

Good one Tony, you’re so polite.

@UWMadison @michiganstateu haha well played! For what it’s worth I really enjoyed my visit there – another fantastic #B1G school. — Tony Garcia (@RealTonyGarcia) January 20, 2015

Even #SpartanMom (MaryLou Moore – @CrazyMSULady) came through in defense of Sparta.

How was I not following @RealTonyGarcia? SO glad you became a Spartan all those years ago! #SpartanMomTweet

And we’re still waiting to be allowed into the party…
