Michigan State crowd does 'Yes!' chant during halftime (VIDEO)

During halftime of Michigan State's win over Ohio State on Tuesday night, the Spartans' football team was honored for their Rose Bowl-winning season. During the ceremony, bearded center Travis Jackson led the entire crowd in a "Yes!" chant — the chant made popular by bearded WWE wrestler Daniel Bryan.



It looks like these guys have started something.

Handcuffed Michigan fan pepper-sprayed in face (PHOTOS)

Photos have emerged of the moment a police officer sprayed a handcuffed Michigan Wolverines football fan in the face with pepper spray from point blank range.

The incident occurred Saturday during Michigan's game against the Penn State Nittany Lions at Beaver Stadium in State College, Pennsylvania and the photo has gone viral.

The man had allegedly struck a female usher and was resisting arrest when he was sprayed.



The Michigan fan appears to have his arms secured behind his back by police officers as they try to escort him away from the crowd.

But the man's face is twisted in pain as a full blast of spray is aimed near his right eye. Photos show he had already been sprayed in his left eye leaving a trail of what appears to be blood across his face.



Some members of the crowd are oblivious or unperturbed by the scene as they smile and clap during the game, while others turn and watch in shock

A man called Bryan claimed to be at the scene and told Deadspin:

"I was sitting in the section next to this guy. He was standing for every play with his buddy and became confrontational with those around him. The people behind we're getting p***** and some lady actually had enough and hit him. Mid way through the 2nd after Michigan had scored he started taunting everyone and it looked like he was about to start a fight in the stands. Security came up and escorted him down to the front when he grabbed the railing and refused to leave. He ended up talking some swings at the state police who were arresting which is why he got pepper sprayed."

Sorry Spike, Diddy already has dibs on Kate Upton

Spike Albrecht put all his hopes of wooing model Kate Upton in the hands of his runner-up appearance in the Final Four and a cute tweet that said he noticed Michigan's most beautiful fan watching the game from the stands. The naivety of youth.

The Michigan freshman better wait until he has an NBA career or gets his hands on a half-billion dollar entertainment empire before he tries to bring his game to Upton.

Even Detroit Tigers pitching ace Justin Verlander struck out with the Sports Illustrated swimsuit model.

One person that does have the fortune (and I mean that two ways — good and amassed) to date the 20-year-old Upton is Sean (Diddy) Combs.

The media mogul was spotted getting hot and heavy with Upton last month sucking face with Diddy, 43, at the club LIV in Miami beach, according to Confidenti@l in The New York Daily News.

Now, following their hot hookup in South Beach, the duo met up again in New York, sharing an intimate dinner together at Gemma in the Bowery Hotel on Thursday.

“They were having dinner together,” a source told the gossip page.

Upton, silent on Twitter that day, the next morning tweeted: “Cuddling with my favorite tiger :)” an obvious diss to Verlander, because she linked to a picture of her holding an actual tiger cub in a Bazaar magazine shoot. 





Albrecht hoped to cash in after the game of his life Monday night. The freshman backup, who electrified the crowd at the Georgia Dome in the NCAA title game, tweeted afterwards:
“@KateUpton hey saw you at the game last night, thanks for coming out!” Hope to see you again :)

In the game, Albrecht clearly had his eyes on Upton, who was clad in a V-neck T-shirt there. His innocent schoolboy attempt at love took the Internet by storm.

A rep for Upton says, “They met once a year ago and there’s no further relationship at this point.”

Losing the national championship game and getting blocked by Diddy.  It's been a tough week for Spike.

Hugh Jackman (Wolverine) pulling for Michigan, get it?

As Michigan gears up for Saturday's Final Four match against Syracuse, members of the legendary Fab Five have been popping up and about showing support for their old school. Now a member of another group of superheroes is publicly rooting for this pack of five to take home the NCAA title this year.

Hugh Jackman — the Hollywood star who plays the Marvel Comics character Wolverine in the X-Men film series — tweeted his support for his favorite team, who else? — the Michigan Wolverines.



Jackman plays the clawed mutant Wolverine — also known as Logan — in the highly successful series of six X-Men-based movies including one, "The Wolverine," which is coincidentally being released this summer.

The fan favorite Wolverine is mostly known for his long metal talons and fast healing abilities, but it is his "beserker rage" — now known as Mike Rice Syndrome — that thrills the audience.



Michigan guard Trey Burke will be leading the Michigan pack. He may not have 18-inch claws but he knows how to slash through defenses and toss up the trey. Now that he has picked up virtually every player of the year award, a good Marvel Comics name for Burke could be The Sweeper.

Just watch those timeout calls Wolverines or Jackman might be tweeting about Les Miserables next week.
