Michigan State already left its mark in Ann Arbor this week.

On Sunday, a police report was filed after the Block M located on the University of Michigan Diag was vandalized. The letter was spray-painted green and the letters “SU” were added beside the “M.”

To ensure that there would be no retaliation to the Sparty Statue in East Lansing, students are surrounding the area during the day and at night. And what do these loyal students get for their effort? A few pizzas, courtesy of Mark Dantonio.

Big Ten Network posted the video on Wednesday morning.

Vandalizing the Block M and Sparty statue has been a common trend before the rivalry week between the two schools. It proves there is a pure hatred between the two schools.

Michigan and Michigan State square off in the 111th meeting on Saturday.
