Deadspin / MSU football player?

[Barksaholic]

Head over to Deadspin and check out the post about the supposed MSU football player and the Lambo. Surely Sixpack can ID the guy somehow.

Here's the photo. Story is stupid. This guy claimed to be an MSU football player and someone believed him.

According to Bob Carskadon's twitter the guy is Daniel Parker. A former walk on.

Thread hijack…does anyone know where I can find that shirt he's wearing online?

I can't find it on any of the stores. I love the gold lettering.

I've always wondered how stories like this get their wires crossed. Isn't it a safe assumption that this guy probably never said that he was Dillon Day, right? I bet the guy who took the pictures went online, looked at our roster, found the white guy with long hair, e-mailed the picture and said "Dillon Day was driving a lambo in STL"... and Deadspin reports just that.

Dammit. We really could've used Redmond next year...

Bracky is already looking up the Blue Book value of the car.**

What's crazy is I believe this guy is Day's roommate, at least I used to see them together all hours of the day. They were always on the porch of those condos right by the bridge to campus in the cotton district.

Day was telling us one time at the bar that everyone always mistakes this guy for him. Crazy.

As far as the shirt, I think he got that while on the team.

ETA: To sound less creepy, I rode a bike to class every day so I saw a lot.
