Keith Nichol, now former Oklahoma QB has decided to transfer back to his home state of Michigan. Next season he will practice with the Michigan State Spartans, and will compete for the starting job in '09 when Brian Hoyer's eligibility runs out. Nichol had originally verballed to MSU before switching to Oklahoma, only to be found in the unenviable position of "older guy sitting behind a younger starter." His decision to transfer has been known for months, but his destination has just been revealed. He was highly thought of in High School (4 star scout, #22 position ranking), and should be in the mix to win the starting job in '09. From what little I know of him, he's in the (surprise!) Drew Stanton mold of "kinda quick, kinda good arm, kinda makes good decisions, kinda wins more than he loses."
In all, a good pickup for MSU, especially because it was clear that Michigan was interested in his services as well.

Yes but does he rip the covers off of video games with disdain? I really need to know how deep his dislike of Michigan goes, if only ABC would tell us these sorts of things during broadcasts...
You mean broadcasts during which they have former Michigan State coaches in the booth? Am I recalling this correctly?
That was actually a separate occasion, but a perfect example... perhaps it deserves a VLSPBEET down the road...
But yes, the "George Perles 2nd Quarter Telethon" was a fine example as well! Actually, that may have been the Spartan Bob game, am I mistaken?
