The recent State News article on the building of a new facility for the Broad College of Business is a not a completely accurate representation of the current state of the building project.
I have never regretted a vote that I have cast. Almost 50 years later, I bitterly regret the one vote I did not cast. The election of 1968 occurred in a country riven by the Vietnam War. Ultimately, almost 60,000 Americans died, more than 150,000 were wounded, more than two million Vietnamese, Cambodians, Laotians and others died.
I’m tired. I’m stressed out. I’m ready for Election 2016 to be over. I know you are too. But now is the last time to get complacent...there is way too much at stake. We’ve dealt with “the Donald” being a candidate for well over a year now, but the end is now in sight.

It's Saturday morning, there is a bitter chill sweeping through your half opened window as you roll over on your side. You curl your covers over you, hoping that it will provide you warmth. Crusty eyed, you're done hitting the snooze button for a third time, and decide to get up. You throw on your green and white and blair the sounds of Falcone Fight, waking up your roommates and the floor below you.

Some dreams die young. MSU football's died in infancy. After shocking the world last season behind heart attack victories en route to the College Football Playoff, MSU unveiled the naive mantra of “Back2Back.” It had that childish pretense of wanting to grow up a superhero before learning the realities that magic, Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy do not exist outside the mind and flying, requires wings.
