No more training runs, no more personality. It’s time for football.
That’s where the Big Ten Network picked up with its second of three episodes in its “Green and White Days: Inside Michigan State Training Camp” special tonight.
And it offered a better glimpse into Mark Dantonio as a coach interacting with his team behind closed doors, the side that rarely is seen.
Dantonio is shown taking his seniors out to dinner at a Japanese steakhouse in Okemos. He shoots pool in the Duffy Daugherty Building’s player lounge with quarterback Tyler O’Connor. He jokes with players before practice about wanting to hear more blues music during workouts.
