Michigan defeated Washington 34-13 in the College Football Playoff yesterday, and a current Kansas basketball player happened to spend three years with the Wolverines before transferring this offseason. Although his departure from the university wasn't too pretty, the 7-foot-2 big man was likely rooting for them to win it all.
Before the contest began, Washington's superstar quarterback Michael Penix Jr. showed up in a ski mask, or a "Shiesty," which refers to the hooded mask that famous rapper Pooh Shiesty made popular. Dickinson has some experience with ski masks — he wore one in pregame when Michigan traveled to Madison to face Wisconsin on the road. Fans poked fun at his antics after Hunter and Co. lost 64-59.
At least he knows it wasn't an advisable choice for Penix. He joked in a tweet, "I could've told him that was a bad idea" on X, formerly known as Twitter.

If you haven't seen it before, here is Dickinson walking down the tunnel with his pregame Shiesty one year ago.
