Mike Hart is older now, on the cusp of 30. He is a husband, a father of two, and a Division I assistant football coach. He is wiser, too, but knows you can’t change the past.
Hart is Michigan’s career leading rusher, but when Michigan-Michigan State week rolls around, his name resurfaces like he’s still a key component of the game planning.
After all, he delivered the quote heard around the world — or at least in the state of Michigan — referring to the Spartans as “little brother.”
Hart might be forever tied to Michigan-Michigan State lore because of his comment after the Wolverines rallied for victory in 2007, and he knows that.
