Congrats to the Michigan State hockey team on advancing to the NCAA title game this weekend, for the first time in 20 years!  At least one of MSU’s sports teams is showing how to get things done.

It only makes sense that there’s been a dearth of new TV shows on Thursday’s lately - there’s been reruns of most of the big ones it seems for a few weeks now.

I’m sitting here “watching” the MSU-Indiana football game via ESPN’s gamecast because apparently in this next of the woods nobody cares about Indiana football. Rightly so, probably, because they suck. But my point is, I’m watching live updates on the screen and Michigan States looks to be heading into halftime down 30-7.
