Bonnie Erbe, a blogger for U.S. News & World Report, made a typical case against universal health care in a February 2008 entry.

Dear Student Alumni Foundation and Izzone directors: I understand that it was the ticket-selling company that screwed up the distribution of the MSU Final Four tickets initially, but I and a great many other perturbed Izzone faithful demand an apology for the bungling of the entire situation.

I am an MSU employee. With road construction taking place on US-127, I-496, Mount Hope Road, Farm Lane and I am sure a myriad of other sites, the only way I can access my work location on Service Road is via those intersections.

Zack Colman believes the college experience would be better without university requirements, as stated in his column, Graduating in four years unlikely plan (SN 3/27).
This is the only avenue I have to get in contact with Tom Izzo. I believe this letter represents the thoughts and feelings of all MSU fans:
