08:16 AM ET 07.21 | The Michigan-Michigan State rivalry reached new heights Wednesday when Justin Abdelkader took flight with the U.S. Navy Blue Angels, soaring over Ann Arbor. "We were joking around (when) we went over the Big House," the Red Wings forward and former Michigan State star said of Michigan Stadium. "If we'd had a couple of bombs on it (the jet), maybe we would have dropped a couple on there." Pilot Lt. David Tickle, an Alabama native, said: "One of the maneuvers that I can show him is a bombing hop. ... We just happened to be over Ann Arbor at the time, and I know he's a Michigan State guy. So it worked out great we could pretend we were bombing Ann Arbor for him. "Obviously I would never bomb Ann Arbor. I have nothing against Michigan."

F-18s are a bit overkill - Mississippi State didn't need them.

I can think of a few stadiums I wouldn't mind leveling.

Ben Hill Griffin Stadium...Bryant-Denny Stadium, etc.
