Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio was in New York on Tuesday to take part in a press conference for the matchup with Wake Forest in this year’s Pinstripe Bowl.
During the event, it was pointed out to Dantonio that last season Wisconsin played in the game and this year the Badgers are back in the Rose Bowl after winning the Big Ten West before losing to Ohio State in the conference championship game.
The Spartans (6-6), of course, are hoping to follow a similar path, one that includes a return to relevance in the Big Ten after two straight disappointing seasons.
