Michigan State coach phoned a friend, or two, about playing in AT&T Stadium

Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio meets with the media upon the Spartans' arrival in North Texas

   There's no doubt that AT&T Stadium is one of the most unique sports facilities in the world. Playing in the home of the Dallas Cowboys is unlike any other place because of its size, first-class amenities and that giant video screen hanging over the field.
   While Baylor has played in AT&T Stadium several times, including earlier this season, this is Michigan State's first experience with the stadium affectionately known as "Jerry World." That's why it helps to have a few friends in the coaching business to prepare you for the experience.
   "I have just heard from people who have been down there, 'Wait 'til you see it,'" Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio said. "I talked to [Oklahoma coach] Bob Stoops and [Texas A&M coach] Kevin Sumlin and a lot of other coaches, and they talked about how unique the atmosphere was."
   It's good to have friends like that.
