Spartans branding green and white were sprinkled into the sea of scarlet red today for tailgating in Columbus, Ohio for Saturday's match up between No. 9 MSU and No. 3 Ohio State.
Among the Spartans’ fans was 24-year-old John Kotter. Kotter was visiting his OSU alumnus friends and was the only Spartan in the group.
“Just staying humble and keeping a smile,” Kotter said of all the Buckeyes’ fan’s’ jokes he was receiving.
Though Kotter did not attend MSU, he said both his parents are 1979 alumni and his father lived in the same dorm as MSU Hall of Fame athletes Earvin “Magic” Johnson and Kirk Gibson.
