A Spartan always pays his debts. Former Michigan State wide receiver Aaron Burbridge and defensive end Marcus Rush, being men of their word, donned Wisconsin football gear and posed for a photo with 49ers teammate and former Badger Marcus Cromartie this week after the Spartans' 30-6 home loss to Wisconsin.

Just look at those sad faces. Rush's attempt to mask his features by tightening the hood sounds good in theory, but really just accentuates his meme-worthy frown. Burbridge avoids eye contact with the camera having clearly accepted his fate and perhaps made peace with it while Cromartie grins like a proud father. Alumni shaming is a dangerous game, indeed.
