HARDY: Welcome to Mr. Rogers neighborhood

No, this isn’t the land of Make-Believe.

Welcome to Michigan State University, otherwise known as Mister Charles Rogers’ Neighborhood.

And it’s a beautiful day in this neighborhood, where Mister Rogers has made us believers, posting the most impressive statistics possible in his green-and-white fairy-tale career here.

And you can get here to watch King Saturday, MSU’s legitimate Heisman Trophy contender, by taking a magical Capital Area Transit Authority Trolley ride to the land split by the Red Cedar River.

Won’t you join me in a short trip to Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood? Won’t you? Join me in recognizing one of the best Spartans to ever grace the gridiron.

In less than two years, Mister Rogers has set the stage. In his 2001 season, he rewrote school records with 67 receptions, 1,470 receiving yards, 14 touchdown catches and six 100-yard games.

He’s feeling even more comfortable in spikes in 2002. He’s already pulled in 29 passes for 634 yards and six touchdowns. He’s on pace to do it all over again - let’s guestimate
