EAST LANSING, Mich. - Michigan State's unique season opener
will be particularly special for guard Austin Thornton.
The Spartans face top-ranked North Carolina on Friday in the
Carrier Classic, a much-anticipated basketball game on the USS Carl
Vinson aircraft carrier. Thornton's older brother Thomas, a 2nd
Lieutenant in the Marine Corps, is expected to be there. He's been
stationed at Camp Pendleton recently.
The carrier will be at its berth at North Island Naval Air
Station in the San Diego area. President Obama is expected to
attend the game.
The USS Carl Vinson is the aircraft carrier from which Osama bin
Laden was buried at sea.
