Similar situation: I've been deleting, as bogus, multiple emails
starting around March Madness time indicating it was time to renew my
season basketball tickets. As this email was not from a MSU address,
the preview was showing something without the official Michigan State
University logo, and the color of green was obviously not MSU Pantone
341 (or standard Web display alternative) - there was no way I was going
to open it or click on any links in it. I've just been deleting them
Recently I overheard a conversation that led me to believe these may
have been real. Does anyone know?

Oh, obviously, though I wonder how it got so many of our addressess.
Really funny how people who have finally figured out that spam should
just be summarily deleted go into a tizzy when it seems to
come from someone "famous." Noooo, they had to open the message
(because "it was from someone I knew"), waste time puzzling over
its meaning, forward it to me. Helloooo?!? Why would Tom Izzo be
emailing you? Delete the d*amn thing and get back to work!
Grrgh.
Sorry... Monday morning rant over. :-8
