I figured Nolan or Lane Sumner. Either way, great choice.

I'm loving that Ashley not only used the wrong word in the tweet but in the headline and body of the attached article. :-P

Just curious for a refresher. Who chooses the next #41? A vote? The previous #41?

Little fanfare accompanied Askelson’s move from 34 to 41. He said Vigen “just pulled me aside in the weight room one day and said, ‘Hey, do you want to wear 41?’ I said, ‘Yeah, it’d be an honor. It’s a blessing, thanks for asking.’ That’s all it was, it was pretty discreet.”

So Vigen chooses? Or did Vigen inform him that he was chosen by his teammates or whoever?

I think people should infer whichever method they think is best. Then everybody is happy about how it is chosen.

Congratulations Nolan! I have not talked to him in person but I have only heard positive things about his character. Also Coach V is a stand-up guy for pulling him aside and telling him man to man.

The big news is he’s going to be back. I was wondering about that when he left the field vs UM. Rehab going well. Gives MSU one of the best LB tandems in the BSC.
