Rather Hall Incident Embarrasses MSU Students, Alumni, Fans, Everyone
Published on: 3rd December, 2009
One of my favorite columnists, Bill Simmons of ESPN.com, has a rule where he won’t allow himself to write about a particularly painful loss or sports issue until all the emotion has worn off. I attempted to do the same about the recent news of eight MSU football players being suspended ...Do MSU Students Really Need a Facebook Event to Tell Them What to Cheer?
Published on: 18th November, 2009
I’m not sure if it speaks to how much Facebook has penetrated all of our lives or the general malaise among most MSU students, but this week marks a new low for all of us. The social networking site now has an event called “Go Green Go White x 75,000.” One ...Similarities Between 2007 And 2009 Seasons Give Hope to Michigan State
Published on: 11th November, 2009
Michigan State comes into its final two regular season games at Purdue and home versus Penn State needing only one win to qualify for a bowl game.

Announced before the season began, the “Celebrate the State Football Series” promised Michigan State would be playing the three directional Michigan schools from the 2011 season until 2020.

Published on: 3rd November, 2009
Dear Michigan State football team, You’re seriously making my head hurt. Trying to wrap my head around all the things that happened Saturday night in Minnesota is like trying to understand what happens when objects enter black holes. I’m sure there’s a way to figure everything out, but to really get ...Two Seconds Cause Re-Evaluation of Michigan State’s Season
Published on: 28th October, 2009
It took two seconds to change every single hope for this season. The chance of a Big Ten championship and Rose Bowl appearance? Finally squashed. New Year’s Day bowl game? The chances of that happening are close to nil. Once Ricky Stanzi (that bastard) completed a seven-yard pass to the ridiculously named Marvin ...Under The Lights: Big Game Atmosphere Starts To Take Over East Lansing

Some have ended in amazing wins, some have ended in agonizing heartbreak, but what’s always assured is that night games in Spartan Stadium are always special. Saturday’s game could end up being one of the most important of the eight games played under the lights in the storied stadium’s history. Sixth-ranked ...Michigan State Football: Empty Student Seats Are Disrespectful
Published on: 20th October, 2009
There are 15,000 seats in the Michigan State football student section, but Saturday’s game against Northwestern might be evidence that number is too many. Having been at the game sitting in the lower bowl directly under the upper deck, I can’t personally vouch for having seen this, but the upper deck ...Coach Mark Dantonio’s Confidence Inspires Michigan State Fans
Published on: 15th October, 2009
My favorite coach when I was still playing baseball once said, “Teams take on the personality of their coach.” Here on campus, it seems like the same can be true of MSU fans taking on the attitude of head football coach Mark Dantonio. Dantonio is a classic football coach—he doesn’t smile, he’s seemingly ...Coming Back Home: We’ll Always Be Spartans
Published on: 13th October, 2009
The leaves over the Red Cedar River and around East Lansing are starting to change, which means Michigan State’s campus has finally descended into autumn.
