There's no place Mark Hollis would rather be than Michigan State

There's no place Mark Hollis would rather be than Michigan State | The Detroit News:
"Raise the roof
While the game is over, his evening is just getting started. Hollis has agreed to greet alumni and students at the Sigma Chi house. He and Nancy jump in his SUV and make the drive over. Hollis admits he’s not sure what to expect.

He parks the car and he and Nancy are hand-in-hand again. Before long, Hollis is the center of attention, taking pictures with everyone in attendance and sitting on a giant bench that sits in the front yard the members have just completed.

But Hollis has his eyes on the roof. 
That’s where he’s headed.
He’s led through the house, up the stairs and into the bathroom. 
It’s about what you’d expect for a house full of college guys. 
But Hollis is fired up, he’s headed out to the roof.
The cameras start clicking and he’s joined by a dozen other Sigma Chi members as the traffic on Grand River Avenue slows to take it in. Hollis beams.
He comes downstairs and addresses the crowd, talking about what a great day it has been for Michigan State.
For him, too, since he said he’s always wanted to step out on that roof."
