When a prolific Big Ten running back asks for your business, of course you don’t say no. And if that running back plays for Michigan State and you’re Michigan fans, you find a way to make that work to your advantage.
Such is the case for clothier State and Liberty, an Ann Arbor-based business that specializes in upscale clothing meant to fit athletes. We’ve seen ambassadors for the company such as former Michigan defensive tackle Mike Martin, so when Spartans running back Kenneth Walker III asked them to fit him in a suit, it’s no surprise that the owners of the company would get him suited up — but with a little something extra.
They posted the video to their Twitter account on Friday, and you can see the prank they pulled off on Walker near the end.
Congrats to @Kenneth_Walker9 on cleaning up at the @ESPNCFB awards last night. Check out this behind the scenes footage of his suit fitting and DEFINITELY watch until the end to see a little prank on Sparty #goblue @umichfootball @msu_football pic.twitter.com/9xGb4gwXmn

It’s good-natured fun like this that makes the rivalry great — not the incessant back-and-forth that has happened between the fan bases in recent weeks.
