Quickly, as I'm about to head to the game: Mark Hollis has announced that a blood clot was been discovered in Mark Dantonio's leg on Thursday, and as such, he won't be at the stadium today. Lisa Byington tweeted all the news; I reproduced it here in chronological order. (@MSUAD is Mark Hollis, obviously.)

@msuad "we are going to take this on a day by day basis" emphasizing #dantonio's heart seems to be recovering well via web
Best wishes to Coach Dantonio for a quick recovery. I doubt that it will have much of an effect on the game today, but we'll see.
Also, if you're still heading to the game today, parking may be tight, as Munn Field is closed because of the rain. Game thread will be up in a few hours. GO GREEN!
