Dantonio Ring of Fame
I was going to ask a question in the MSU thread about Dants Ring of Fame ceremony, but the motherfucker deserves his own thread.

Re: Dantonio Ring of Fame
On to my question. Anyone know what time they are doing the ceremony? Pre-game? 1H? Halftime? I've read 70 articles and not one contained this info. Journalism blows.
My memory on this type of stuff is ass, but seems like Lo White was sometime in the 1H. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

DAntonio‘s first year at MSU, It was April and I asked my wife if she would like to drive up to Michigan State for the day because the kids were on Easter break. I had coached football camp with him, And it’s not like I have him in my phone or anything, but we were friends.
We got there that day, and I was going to give the kids a tour of the football building. We saw his wife walking down the stairs and she kind of recognize me, I introduced myself and said I was just here to show my kids the building. She said oh he’s up in his office right now by himself let me take you guys up there
I was embarrassed, but I went up there with my wife and daughters. We got a personalized tour of the building
When we left that day, My eldest said to me, Dad, I really want to go to Michigan State, But if I can’t get in here, I’ll just go to Harvard. It’s still the greatest joke
Seven years later, she was cheering for him on the sidelines.

I love Dantonio. I used to feel duty bound to go after the idiots who had the nerve to criticize him.

Yeah, there arent many sports figures that I admire as much Dantonio. I never met him, but from the outside, his personality, sense of humor, etc., always clicked with me. I feel like I would really enjoy hanging out with him even with no conversation about football allowed. So happy for him to get this honor.

In addition to all of his amazing achievements on the field, it is my understanding that he and his family have or had Cavaliers, which are my favorite breed of dog. My best girl was a Cavalier. Top marks, all-time great Spartan.

The way MD messed with umaa and took none of their arrogant shit is and always will be one of my favorite things about him.

MSU chose Dantonio over Bo Pelini, so I paid attention to Pelini’s program at Nebraska. The Huskers hated Texas - they were easily the rival that the fanbase and players hated most. But Bo would always say it was just another game. And the Huskers always lost to the Longhorns.
Dantonio played up the Michigan game immediately. That press conference after his first loss to them was more gutsy than most people realize. Imagine the humiliation of those clips played over and over if he failed. Instead, he won the next four games against Michigan and seven of the next eight, while winning big bowl games and putting his program in the national spotlight. I don’t think there was another coach in the country who would have equaled Dantonio’s success at MSU.
