Watch: Michigan State alum Denzel Valentine autographs Michigan jersey

Share

Why on Earth would you ask a Michigan State Spartan to sign your Michigan Wolverines jersey?

One young fan asked just that of Denzel Valentine, the Bulls' first-round draft pick, the reigning Big Ten Player of the Year and one of the most accomplished Spartans to ever play for Tom Izzo.

Thursday, at a Bulls/White Sox Academy camp, the fan presented a maize-colored jersey (with Michigan star Zak Irvin's No. 21 on it) to the Michigan State alum, and Valentine obliged — though he did it while getting in a shoutout to his alma mater.

Valentine signed his name and wrote "Go Green! Go White!" underneath, and really, isn't that the last laugh in this whole scenario?

College players graduate to the pros, but the rivalry never dies.
