Semi OT: Does Sparty ever tackle a fake Wolverine mascot when we play in East Lansing?

Submitted by Adamantium on

Someone over at Ask Metafliter posed a question about Sparty perhaps creating a fake Wolverine mascot to tackle during UM-MSU games in East Lansing. Have they ever done this?

Here's the link to the full question: http://ask.metafilter.com/162639/Does-Sparty-tackle-a-fake-wolverine-mascot

"I was a Michigan student in 2003 and went to the Michigan v. MSU game at Spartan Stadium. I swear that there was a wolverine mascot on the field before the game, and that Sparty ran up and tackled it. This was notable mainly because Michigan doesn't have a mascot. I assumed this was a regular thing in East Lansing, but I can't find confirmation that this happens or ever has happened anywhere."

Does anyone have any information on this?
