So MSU won.  Good.  But that was ugly.  We’re still honestly a crappy team that managed to beat a worse, HIGHLY OVERRATED, Michigan team.  Our defense actually seemed to play hard throughout the game, and then showed their true colors at the end.  As much as I think Dantonio is a [...]

So other than the release of the latest iPhone (which has been tearing up tech sites and blogs this week….more on that later, maybe), big news this weekend involves Bret Favre coming back to the Green Bay Packers.  I’ve always thought of Favre as a reasonably “classy” player, a franchise player from an earlier era [...]

In a little under a century, do you think they’ll speak of Comerica Park in the same way Mitch Albom looks back fondly on Tiger Stadium?

With the Big Ten Network finally reaching a deal with Comcast, here’s hoping local crappy cable operator Broadstripe jumps on board, too.  Does this sound promising?
The latest information we have for the Central Region is that we are working to have a proposal in early July. We are hoping to offer the Big Ten to [...]

So the other day I was thinking about what it would take to go to the Final Four in Detroit next year.  One, it’s relatively close to home, and two, think about the possibilities of Michigan State playing in the Final Four, in Detroit.  That would be most excellent.  My search lead my to the [...]

We’re one of those teams.  You know, the ones you see on the ticker at the bottom, hopelessly down and you’re like “Man, sucks to be that team.  They don’t have a chance.”
How different would things have been if they didn’t have to start the second half with a 30 point deficit?
I want to be [...]

I’m out.  Michigan State basketball this season is officially overrated, sloppy, ugly, and any other number of horrible adjectives.  High hopes in the beginning of the season have turned to reveal a young-playing scared team that for some reason just can’t get it together.  Izzo keeps talking about playing for the tournament rather than the [...]

So there’s news going around about a Michigan State – Michigan hockey game at Ford Field next year, gearing up for hosting the Frozen Four in 2010.
Hockey at Ford Field with 70-80,000 fans? Awesome.
Double header with MSU-UM and the Redwings? Even better!
The only thing that gets me, and maybe it’s nostalgia talking….part of [...]
