ANN ARBOR (CBS Detroit) According to a Michigan State sports fan, he was minding his own business on the University of Michigan's storied Diag square screaming "Go Green, Go White," when he was approached by two strangers.

One of them allegedly started punching him in the face.

The victim said it happened at 2 a.m. Sunday, and he visited a local hospital at 4:43 p.m. p.m., about 15 hours later, to report his injuries.
