After Mr. Diggs sneaks up behind Lizzie, Gordo, and Miranda, Lizzie asks "where did you come from?" and Mr. Diggs answers "my family is from Tobago but I was born in East Lansing. Go Wolverines!" The Wolverines are the mascot for the University of Michigan, based in Ann Arbor; East Lansing is home to Michigan State University, known as the Spartans.
