I am writing in response to Jonathan Malavolti's column "Fans couldn't ask for more from Spartans" (SN 11/1). His blind support of the team, win or lose, is the reason that this program has been steeped in mediocrity for 35 years.
Yes, they gave a valiant effort, and yes, they played hard for most of the game. The fact remains that a 17-point lead was blown with minutes to go, and that is simply inexcusable. Moral victories will not put MSU in a bowl game or earn us a top 25 ranking.
