Unlikely friends: MSU superfan invites Mr. Blue Hands to join her for Illinois game at Breslin

Unlikely friends: MSU superfan invites Mr. Blue Hands to join her for Illinois game at Breslin


An unexpected display of sportsmanship and camaraderie is taking place in Breslin Center’s section 109 just above the two team benches as Michigan State men’s basketball faces off against a tough Illinois squad on Sunday.

Spartans superfan Janet Alleman, a retired MSU professor infamous for her dancing often seen on the Jumbotron during home basketball games, is sitting next to Ceasar Perez, aka Mr. Blue Hands, a Fighting Illini superfan with his head covered in orange and blue body paint and his hands sporting oversized blue fists.

Perez, a former Marine and Illinois graduate from Champaign, has been cheering for the Fighting Illini for 20 years.
