NOW
So I hear where a guy climbed into a single-engine Cessna and was flying erratically near the Michigan state line before being intercepted by a squadron of F-16s on Monday.
Welcome to Tom Izzo's world.
THEN
Those F-16s that were summoned to tail the stolen Cessna were from the Wisconsin National Guard. Because my mind works in strange ways, the first thing I thought of was the following conversation between John Winger (Bill Murray) and Russell Ziskey (Harold Ramis) in "Stripes," when they were contemplating driving the EM-50 urban assault vehicle behind enemy lines without prior approval from Sgt. Hulka.
Winger:"C'mon, it's Czechoslovakia. We zip in, we pick 'em up, we zip right out again. We're not going to Moscow. It's Czechoslovakia. It's like going into Wisconsin."
Ziskey: "Well I got the (tar) kicked out of me in Wisconsin once. Forget it!"
