"Little Giants" Takes Down More than the Irish

We've all seen it. We were shocked by it. And we're not talking about the movie. We are talking about the call of the year by Michigan State head coach Mark Dantonio, but that call did more than just take down Notre Dame...it took him down too.

The emotions were running high in East Lansing after the surprise call for a fake field goal in overtime trailing by just three points. It was one of those calls that if it works you're a hero; if it fails you're the goat.

A day later that euphoric feeling was replaced by one of the not so pleasant kind. On Sunday morning Dantonio was taken to the hospital with symptoms of heart attack. After putting in a stint into Dantonio's chest to get blood flowing into his heart again properly, a potential tragedy was avoided.

The Michigan State coach is expected to make a full recovery and could be released from the hospital this week, but his return to the sidelines is still up in the air. It's not a question of if Dantonio will be back...it's a question of when.

While every Badger fan would like him to take some time off and get better, especially after seeing "little giants", we all wish him and his family the best, and hopefully we'll see more great plays in the future. Just after the Wisconsin game...
