Yeah…let me explain.
I was there in 1991, after four straight years of Michigan State being in the upper echelon of the Big Ten. There was that issue of Steroids, but about the only people who believed it (from my vantage point) were UofM fans and a couple of reporters in Detroit’s Conservative Paper. I don’t [...]

Steroids
Probably the biggest thing that’s been talked about for the past few weeks is A-Rod’s admission of Steroids Use back in 2003. Never mind whether it was legal for the list to exist (I believe it wasn’t and was being used to blackmail some of the other stars into sticking by the Baseball Union), the [...]

MSU Downs Michigan, 35-21
Seven years since the last victory over Michigan, nine since one without a controversy.
Eighteen years since the last victory in Ann Arbor, 24 years (at least) since a nondebateable victory there.
First time in thirty-one years that Michigan State will above Michigan NO MATTER THE MEASUREMENT (in-conference, out-of-conference) at the end of the [...]

Michigan’s latest loss is a big fall for a storied program
Who would have thought of it? We’re talking Michigan, the team that more often has to show up and are automatically guaranteed a 9-win season. Now people are wondering if they’ll win four.

Which leads to me finally having a doubt or two about Tom Izzo.
Consider this: While he’s been able to [...]

After the multiplied disasters that have been the past three seasons, the Michigan State University Spartans start their Football Season this Saturday at home against the University of Alabama Birmingham Blazers, a good school which is unfortunately best known for its football program’s extracurricular activities.
Now, I’m not about to predict a UAB victory over Michigan [...]

Brand U
(will need registration to view)
Welcome to the new economics of Universities. Schools, desperate for warm bodies to enter their hallways, are now trying to market themselves as something other than what they’re supposed to be: Places where people learn job skills that will take them further and higher than they would have gone [...]

Overated (clap clap clapclapclap)
Overated (clap clap clapclapclap)
Look at the brackets for the NCAAs Sweet 16 and you will find:
Teams from the Missouri Confrence: 3
Teams from the Big Twelve: 1
Teams from the Big Ten: 0
Now as it happens, the two Missouri Conference teams will have to face each other for their chance to make it [...]

George Mason Butchers Michigan State University
At least there won’t be any riots at East Lansing this year.
- – – – – – – – – – – – – – -
But seriously, it’s sad that one can see a silver lining in something as disasterious as a first-round loss to some third-level basketball team playing [...]

Burn Your Couch, Legally
That’s Right, Spartans. Your football team may be preparing to take its place besides such powerhouses as Indiana, Illinois, Southern Methodist and Vanderbilt; but now there are couches you can burn legally!
The problem: you’ll have to go to West Virginia for them. And we’ll have to persuade Mark Garrett to make some [...]
