Michigan State Football: Santa stops by Spartans’ practice

The holiday season is officially underway and everyone, including football players, is getting into the holiday spirit. The Michigan State football team is no exception as Mark Dantonio, also known as Mike, made a call to get Santa Claus to practice on Friday afternoon.
