Good for him. I was good buds with Mike for a few years, congrats to him.

I'd say the majority of the reason is this, indeed. Coupled with where the student section is, that's just how it is going to be. It's a terrific place to play no doubt, maybe one of top 15 in the country to PLAY football. But, that goes for both teams that play.

He was also a very SMART football player. Something I almost appreciate more than raw talent. Playing smart usually lasts longer in the NFL than raw talent.

Can't imagine that feeling. Amazing.

If uniforms win/lose games...why are we recruiting players? We should be recruiting Nike and their outlandish uniform designs...CAUSE THEY'RE WINNING. This is only here for those who can't take a joke. The end.

I truly wish the internet was around back when they changed uniforms in the past. From subtle to significant. I wonder how many people ACTUALLY believe(d) we were going down the drain decades ago. If we are really going to believe that a change in uniform will ruin our tradition or that we lose games because of a certain uniform...WE are the problem. Not the uniform. As this has been said before, just throwing my 2 cents out there. I'm for whatever change they want to do, to be honest. It's one game, big deal. And for what it's worth...Michigan's alternates...WERE HORRIBLE. Just because they were like the old times, doesn't automatically make them awesome. LSU's, were terrific. Subtle but significant.

Let's not forget 2002 when Solich opted OUT of 3 field goal tries to go for it on fourth down. One of which (the last one) resulted in a Jammal Lord to Nathan Vasher interception after a beautiful punt return by DeJuan Groce...to end the game as a 3 point loss. But, I feel Northwestern or Michigan will end up being that team(s) we just can't get past...what so ever. Northwestern loves to beat up on the big boys, who play arrogantly. And Michigan, just smells of our old nemesis in the Big XII. They do.

If anything, why not let 'em wear black for the "red/white" game. Let the kids and some fanboys have fun with different uniform looks for a scrimmage. Get it out of their system.

Beck called an odd game. Martinez did what he was supposed to, and well actually. There still was not enough running the ball. The problem is that Bo will NEVER play a QB spy and we WILL continue to lose and look terrible against agile/athletic QBs. We also never seem to actually prepare for a specific team completely.

I still feel that "The Heroes Game" is a bit much. I would have much rather copied another game's title (Iowa/Nebraska Border War) than to call it something it completely is not.

When Rex Burkhead jumps into a lake, he doesn't get wet, the lake gets Rex Burkhead.

Answer, right there.

If he doesn't fumble or throw a pick, he's offsides.

Alabama's "A" gloves...heck, how many of you own NCAA '12 with Ingram's paw in your face with the logo on it?

The other thing with this though, is whenever a player is injured (actually) they show a replay to show what happened, about 90% of the time. I don't recall one single replay (and I haven't watched the replay of the game yet) of an injury to an MSU player. The one for Rex, I think was pretty obvious he was cramping up from doing EVERYTHING, except kicking.
