Hate Week usually brings back some former players on both sides of the rivalry, and Michigan State football welcomed an extra special guest back to campus on Friday.
Jonathan Smith did a good job of teaching his team about the rivalry this year, compared to last season, by bringing in some former players and coaches to speak to the team about the importance of the yearly Michigan game.
Over the summer, Smith brought in guys like TJ Duckett and Ken Mannie, and this week, there were other big names stopping by campus to both inform and fire the team up for rivalry week.
