This past August, we tragically lost a gentle giant in Bubba Smith. Perhaps the greatest Michigan State player ever. The "Kill, Bubba, Kill" chant is etched within Spartans and college football lore. Later, Smith made his mark through the Colts and the Police Academy movies. And when you see the tremendous amount of awards and trophies left behind in his estate, you see just … [Read more...] about Bid on Bubba Smith’s Colts, NFL, Michigan St. Trophies, Awards

Big 10 Football Power Rankings: Mediocrity, Parity, Blah Edition
There are only two times when doing a power rankings can be fun- way early in the season/preseason, or when everything is jumbled, disorganized chaos and blah. Doing a power rankings when the hierarchy is clear cut is a practice strictly for centrist, vanilla losers. In the current Big Ten football world, mediocrity, blahness, national irrelevance, and parity reign. And … [Read more...] about Big 10 Football Power Rankings: Mediocrity, Parity, Blah Edition

Maybe I was wrong to doubt Michigan State Spartans QB Kirk Cousins? Back in the summer, I believed the Spartans would be the 4th best team in the Big Ten.

I did pick State to win at Michigan, but I did not see last week's … [Read more...] about #11 Michigan State Spartans-#16 Nebraska Cornhuskers: Brutally Honest Game Preview

Michigan State Uniforms to Feature Leonidas Quote at Thermopylae
THIS IS SPARTA!!!!!!!!! Or at least, this is what they wear in the most militaristic city-state in human history. What King Leonidas said to the Persians at the battle of Thermopylae (no, it was not "Tonight we dine in hell!" or "then we shall FIGHT in the shade") will now be inscribed on the Michigan State Spartans jerseys.

Big Ten Football 2011 Power Rankings: Preconference Edition
One of the main storylines in the Big Ten entering this college football season was all the dual threat quarterbacks. Well so far, I'd say it's really only Wisconsin's Russell Wilson and Nathan Scheelhaase who fit that bill. Michigan's Denard Robinson did throw for over 330 yards and 4 TDs, but he is an average thrower at best. He made some really poor throws in that Notre … [Read more...] about Big Ten Football 2011 Power Rankings: Preconference Edition
