U-M has plenty to be thankful for in 'U' win
To Michigan and its fans, you should thank the MSU football team. There's plenty to be thankful for, and, come on, it wouldn't be that hard.

Supporting the re-election of President Bush on this campus was a lonely matter. Despite several thousand other students being of conservative mind, it often came down to just how strongly we could stand by our convictions.
During the last few weeks, stress had me stabbing at the darkness like a crazed, drunken knife-fighter in search of an answer. How does a student shake off the foul beast of school-induced stress?
In 2003, Congressman Rush Holt, D-N.J., introduced a bill requiring that a voter-verified paper ballot be produced by all-electronic voting machines to guard against election fraud or computer errors.
I love going to MSU basketball games. They're fast-paced, intense and a lot of fun. Plus, Breslin Center is huge.
I winced watching sophomore forward Tommy Goebel in immense pain as he laid on the ice Friday night. I jumped a bit out of my seat when sophomore goaltender Dominic Vicari fed a pass up to Colton Fretter and two passes later, Ethan Graham scored. I felt relief when MSU hung onto its lead throughout the game and won, 4-2. Did you? For less than 20 consecutive seasons, the place where the MSU hockey team has called home has attracted the building's capacity of 6,470 fans every Friday and Saturday nights (with some odd Thursday/Sunday games here and there). Munn Ice Arena has had 323 consecutive sellouts starting on Dec.
Nashville, Tenn. - I'm fresh off a three-day, four-night stay in here and since I've spent roughly a long weekend in Music City, USA, I feel adequately prepared to make a few judgments concerning this fair town. I spent this time attending a convention for collegiate journalists.
One of the things I've come to love about East Lansing is that it manages a small-town feel while cramming so many people into such a limited space.
October was Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Most of us have seen posters and pictures of the victims: women with bruised faces, broken bones, split lips and missing teeth or children huddled in the corner, covering their ears. But if domestic violence is so horrible, why don't victims get out?
You can't look across the street nowadays without seeing something truly hideous. Go ahead, give it a try.
Puff Daddy is an opportunistic youth locust. If turning a once-great art form into self-absorbed braggadocio about money and spinning platinum hubcaps wasn't enough to earn him a special place in Hell, his exploitation of kids who wanted to become more politically-minded will hopefully get him a reservation. His "Vote or Die" campaign was meaningless fear-tactic fodder in the name of self-promotion.
As fans retell the story of Michigan's triple-overtime victory against the Spartans, parts will surely be left out.
Imagine this happening: While waiting for her father's return, a young girl played with a doll made from rags.
We at The State News have received a lot of feedback regarding our Oct. 27 editorial endorsement of Democratic Sen.
After the first debate, a commentator said what clearly emerged was Bush's opinion that the war in Iraq is essential to the war on terrorism and that Kerry's opinion is that it is not.
When Tom Brokaw steps down as the "NBC Nightly News" anchorman on Dec. 1, the United States will lose not only a prominent newsman - we'll lose a visual symbol of journalism our generation grew up with. Brokaw holds a seat which to some is second only to the chair behind the desk in the Oval Office.
Have mercy on the late souls of Ray Kroc and Dave Thomas. Every time a McDonald's or Wendy's commercial clogs the airwaves, the two burger barons must be turning in their graves.
In just a few short days, college students across America are going to be hitting the polls to help elect the leader of the free world.
It's Monday. The big game is nigh. I don't even have to mention the name of our opponent because we all know.
Originally, I planned to write a column detailing the disturbing similarities between the Bush administration and George Orwell's masterpiece, "1984." During Bush's watch we've witnessed Big Brother attempts to organize a volunteer army of citizen spies (Operation TIPS) and create an invasive government database of personal information (Total Information Awareness). In Orwell's dystopia, the government uses misleading language and patriotic rhetoric to control attitudes and beliefs.
