The fastest guy on the team is Ryan Allison. Thet converted him from WR to Corner and he is a backup Linebacker.

At least MSU has improved since that black head coach they had a few years back (his name escapes me right now) who fielded a team with 20 black starters that was so bad he was fired mid-season.

Besides safety Eric Smith, who is currently with the Jets, when was the last time either Michigan or Michigan State started a white safety or white wide receiver?

I'll give Michigan St a chance for giving white players a shot right now. Their current head coach is Mark Dantonio. The same guy who was Ohio State's defensive coordinator in 2002 when the national champion Buckeyes had 6 white starters on defense. So I cannot see Dantonio being any worse than Saban or John L. Smith.

Whatever happpened to Chad Allison. The white WR with 4.3 speed. Also Michigan State had a white cb a few years ago in Bryan Brighton. He vanished. His brother was the top junior in Michigan high school football as a cornerback but is now a backup wr at Bowling Green. I beleive his name is Dereck.

Excuse me I didint read the earlier posts. Go figure they would make a guy with 4.3 speed a linebacker. Can you say Tim Shaw anybody?

I don't think I've ever, EVER liked MSU. But I guess this year I'll go for them. Thanks Col.

Kirk Gibson MSU 1976
Tom Harmon UM 1945

Seriously, UM had a white reciever in the 80's John Kolesar, and MSU? Maybe it was Gibson but they did have a good white running back a few years ago.

Michigan had a great safety in the 70s who went on to have a great Pro Bowl caliber career with the Cleveland Browns?

<div>EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Michigan State running back Glenn
Winston has been sentenced to six months in jail in a fight that
briefly put a hockey player in the hospital.</div>

He also was given two years of probation Monday in district
court in East Lansing and ordered to pay $1,768 in fines and court
costs. He must report to jail by Friday.

Winston pleaded guilty
last month to aggravated assault and assault and battery. He was
indefinitely suspended from the team after entering the plea.

Authorities
say he was involved in an off-campus fight Oct. 19 that briefly
hospitalized Michigan State hockey player A.J. Sturges.

Spartans
receiver Mitchell White pleaded guilty to assault and battery in the
fight and was sentenced last month to 30 days in jail.
