You live in Southwest Michigan, fly your University of Michigan flags and you bleed maize and blue. Would you be surprised to know the football team you love, in one aspect, doesn't love you back?

Michigan State has recruited players from the Southwest Michigan region tapping recruits from Marshall, Battle Creek Central, Gull Lake and Berrien Springs.
