Ah, the great year of 1966 -- My father was 11 years old, the Beatles started recording Sgt. Peppers, the Redskins beat the Giants 72-41 -- in the highest scoring game in NFL history -- and, of course, MSU won the National Championship.
Also in 1966 Michigan State took on Notre Dame in what is called "The Game Of The Century."
Sports Illustrated has a Twitter account called the @Si_Vault, which tweets out pretty amazing photos. Heck, the only reason I even look at Sports Illustrated anymore is to see the pictures on the first few pages of the magazine.
And Monday afternoon they tweeted gold! They sent out a photo of Michigan State's mascot Sparty in 1966. He looks drastically different than he does now. In fact, with that giant head atop a disproportionately puny body, he reminds us of someone ...
Is this head bigger than Jamie Samuelsen's?
