Now that he’s had time to reflect on the loss, head coach Mark Dantonio re-evaluated some of his play calling decisions made in Saturday’s overtime loss to Northwestern.
I would like to congratulate the student section for how they behaved during the game Saturday. Before the game started, a time when students, alumni and fans should be trying to motivate the Spartan football team, what do I hear? The student section chanting “(expletive) Northwestern!” This was so classy, especially when the father in front of me had to try to explain to his young daughter what the students were chanting. You have to remember that you are not the only fans at the game and to be respectful of your surroundings.
In Contact your representatives and pay attention to Darfur (SN 10/5), Tom Choske, the president of Spartans for Richardson, argues that our country should become involved in ending civil strife in Darfur. He neglects to explain why we should do this, how Darfur even matters to our national interest, or why it is our supposed moral obligation to invade another country that has not attacked us. The last elective war has cost our country thousands of lives and billions of dollars. Would it be radical to say that perhaps we should refrain from jumping into another one?
I can deal with the wristbands at the football games. I understand that they need a way to weed out the people who are not supposed to be there to prevent overflow into season ticket holders’ seats. However, I do not understand why, when I arrived to the Northwestern game an hour early, I had to sit up in the corner away from the rest of the students when there were plenty of open seats available in the heart of the student section in the area I was assigned. I thought that the seating was on a first come, first serve basis. If that is the case then how come students arriving 20 minutes before kickoff were able to sit in better seats than I did when I got to the game an hour early. I find this new policy ridiculous. The ushers did not even have a logical explanation for all of the outraged fans, which just upset us more. The cops were also very rude when they threatened to arrest students if they did not shut up and go sit down. It’s not fair to punish the students who arrive early at games for decent seats.
