Michigan State Football: Mel Tucker needs his “little brother” moment

The term “little brother” has been used to pick on Michigan State football for years. As crazy as it sounds, does Mel Tucker need a “little brother” moment?

Ah yes, “little brother”. The term that Michigan State fans hate to hear. It was 2007 when former University of Michigan running back Mike Hart first used that term to describe the Wolverines’ late game comeback against the Spartans that year.

I don’t think anyone predicted the ripple effect caused by those two words. Since 2007, Michigan State is 8-4 against Michigan.
