As MSU’s student body president closed the vigil’s remarks with “Go Green!” the massive crowd that had gathered instinctively responded, “Go White!” The symbolism beautiful and poetic. When one Spartan calls out, the rest of us will immediately - and always - be there for you.

Little known CFB rule relevant to MSU today: If you score on your 1st offensive play two games in a row, “YOU’RE HEATING UP.” If you do it three games in a row “YOU’RE ON FIRE!!!” and you get the ball back until you don’t score.
