Pat Fitzgerald's downtown tour shows he gets Michigan State culture
On Wednesday, Michigan State football coach Pat Fitzgerald and his new athletic director took the Paul Bunyan Trophy to the people of East Lansing.
East Lansing – Pat Fitzgerald, Michigan State's first-year football coach, proudly displayed the Paul Bunyan Trophy to a crowd of students on the school's north side after a 15-6 victory over Michigan. Later that day, Fitzgerald and athletic director Dan Bartholomae left their workplace and ventured to local bars and restaurants, promising to meet the people where they gathered.
The Spartans' win over the Wolverines has sparked intense rivalries and pride, and Fitzgerald's grassroots outreach approach aims to energize and retain student support for their upcoming game against Washington on November 14.
