—Coming off of Saturday’s shocking 39-38 loss against Big Ten opponent Nebraska, the team has been relatively quiet since coming back to East Lansing.
Except for the Spartan’s star defensive end, senior Shilique Calhoun. Calhoun had been outspoken on Instagram and Twitter all week to demonstrate what he believed were several missed holding calls in the game on Saturday.
Calhoun was able to take time out of his busy day Thursday and decided to respond to some of the Nebraska fans, which had been hounding him on social media all week.
As I sit here and realize I have so little to do today I've decided I'll comment back to all the Husker fans. So let's have a some fun guys!

However, shortly after, fans began asking Calhoun anything and everything, which made for some interesting interactions.
Here are some of the highlights from his interaction with fans:
@Shilique89 Is a hot dog a sandwich?

It's also nice to see Calhoun is a man of commitment.

@skelly54 @Shilique89 He was simply trying to save this man's life. He saw a hotdog (or was it a sandwich?) stuck in his throat.

It's also nice to see that the fans have a sense of humor.

And apparently the football players take their court game very seriously.
It was also nice to see that the fans were asking the hard-hitting questions that everyone else was dying to know.
@Shilique89 is Connor Cook a cat person? He seems to have that vibe.

Unfortunately, Calhoun wasn't able to answer.
But at the end of the day, Calhoun had to put down the phone and get back to practice.
Thank you for your time!! Time for practice!
