This little guy was hanging out in the south endzone during the MSU vs. Youngstown State game on Friday night. I think he was waiting until he could fly up and distract a player as he came in for a touchdown catch.

My #1 Fan: I picked up a copy of The State News on Sat. dated Fri., March 18 and wish I had not. I wondered why there were so many copies still in the “holder” (or whatever you call it) and when I looked at it, I think I know why. How could you possibly feel good about distributing this paper with the photo of a great person, player and senior that you put on the front page of this issue. He has passion and feelings. Obviously you have never been in his “position.” I can’t believe “true” Spartans have displayed this on the newsstand. Of course, I have no way of knowing if you are Spartans. Anyway, it’s great to be a fan.
