During the past few years, Spartans fans have endured countless heartbreaking losses to bitter rivals and watched helplessly as team intensity slowly slipped away. Regardless of who is at fault for the shortcomings of our team, dedicated fans are on the brink of extinction, and morale is at an all-time low.
As we sink further and further into an increasingly unwinnable war in Iraq, a more tangible threat looms on the horizon. North Korea is developing nuclear weapons. Naturally, the reaction in the United States has been one of surprise, confusion and abject fear.
MSU is a good school, regardless of athletics, but what makes a school like MSU special is that it can have both first-rate academic programs and top-flight athletic teams. For those of you who say MSU football is not an important issue, you are obviously missing something.
As a student and future American worker, I am terrified of my prospects after I graduate. Trade agreements like the Central American Free Trade Agreement, or CAFTA, are shipping more jobs south of the border. I drive around Lansing and look at the abandoned manufacturing plants here, and I just can't stop thinking of the families who relied on these jobs to send their kids — young people like me — to school because they were paid a living wage.
Thirty-one points are a lot to lose by, and when ABC went to another game in the third quarter and never came back, we all knew that MSU had been totally out-played, out-coached and out-classed. I would like to see coach John L.
As I watched post-game coverage from the Ohio State game, I realized coach John L. Smith and the Spartans need to either win a game or find a new excuse.

I would like to commend The State News for the coverage of the 2006 governor's race, but I offer one caveat to your debate coverage.
U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers and Congress are protecting our borders. A few weeks ago, Rogers voted in favor of stopping illegal immigrants from crossing our borders, deporting violent illegal alien gang members and stopping individuals from building tunnels under the ground near borders.
I have never, in my entire six years as an MSU student, been more disappointed after a game. I'm sure you're all nodding your heads in agreement, thinking you know exactly what I'm talking about.
More than a century after Charles Darwin's death, we're still debating evolution. Last week, the Michigan State Board of Education rightfully approved guidelines for public schools to teach evolution, but not intelligent design, in science classes.
The column "Americans should be required to vote, not take U.S.
"Another kid attacked." "Partygoers punched in faces." "Brawl breaks out on Friday night." While obviously made up, these headlines illustrate the violent nature that has become the party scene around the city and campus in recent weeks.
Some numbers are always in the news. The number of U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq is often reported by the media.
In response to "Students deliver mixed debut performances," (SN 10/9), I would like to say that I am curious to know who Amy Oprean has been talking to about Shakespearean literature.
Two down, one to go. Democratic Gov. Jennifer Granholm and Republican candidate Dick DeVos continued their attacks in the second of three televised debates Tuesday night.

Saturday: The tailgating, hanging out, taking out 40-year-olds in flip cup, chilling with some beer and hot dogs — it was truly a fun day … before the game. The John L.
