“Give them nothing, but take from them everything.” This line from the movie 300 is the perfect way to describe the mentality of the 2013 Michigan State Spartans football team. After a week of questions and going into the ‘Granddaddy of them all’ as a 6.5 point underdog, the team came out and silenced the…
They say “good things come to those who wait.” Michigan State football fans have been waiting for this week for 26 years. My journey as a Spartan fan has been much like this past season: full of ups and downs, but always has promise for great things. As I’ve mentioned before, I was practically born…
The Chinese Philosopher Confucius once said ,“When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don’t adjust the goals, adjust the action steps.” This quote is very accurate when you look at Michigan State’s football team this season. Prior to the start of Big Ten play, the team looked very average and I wondered…
Vince Lombardi once said, “The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.” While they may not have the top recruiting class in their conference or have flashy players, that exemplifies the Mark Dantonio era at Michigan State.

As I sat at home on Saturday and watched the Michigan/Michigan State game, I felt like I had seen this play out before. In the two previous B1G losses to be exact. MSU has now lost 3 conference games by a total of 6 points and all of them have the same story lines: missed…
As Rivalry week begins, I starting to wonder if the only way the Spartans avoid a loss on Saturday is if the bus gets lost on the way to Ann Arbor. I’m not sure I’ve even been so disgusted with my alma mater in my lifetime. Yes, as a lifelong fan, I’ve endured some ugly…
I know that focus has turned from last week’s loss to preparing for Indiana in 2 days, but I had to take some time to gain perspective before writing this post. I spent Saturday night and most of Sunday so angry that I couldn’t even fathom writing something appropriate for my blog. Then, I had…
