Flanked by House Speaker Jase Bolger, R-Marshall, and Senate Majority Leader Randy Richardville, R-Monroe, Snyder said Wednesday the proposal was a settlement, not a bailout. “This is not a bailout of dollars for Detroit’s debt, this is not a bailout of banks and other creditors,” Snyder said.

It’s well documented how much the football and basketball programs at MSU are intertwined. Tom Izzo loves how the football program is run, and how head football coach Mark Dantonio runs his team, and Dantonio feels the same about Izzo. The basketball team traveled to Indianapolis to cheer on the football team in the Big Ten Championship Game, and some of the football team, led by “Yes man” Travis Jackson pumped up the Breslin Center crowd in the Big Ten home opener. Izzo said many times that he dreams of the day when the football and basketball teams will both win national championships, and that dream seemingly is getting closer to a reality if the results continue as they currently are. The fact that MSU has not lost a Big Ten game in football and men’s basketball in the 2013-14 academic year, and that conference power Ohio State hasn’t gotten a win in either sport since facing off against MSU reinforces that right now is a good time to be a Spartan. But that doesn’t mean the term “just like football” doesn’t apply to the entire season on the court, and not just after wins against the Buckeyes. The comparisons begin before last season even ended. Both had somewhat disappointing seasons after the football team finished the regular season 6-6 in 2012, and the basketball team finished 24-7 with three losses in their last five games. And both had some success in the postseason that increased the pressure on each team the following season. The football team got out to an interesting start in 2013, with a few lackluster performances and a quarterback controversy, while the basketball team had to deal with a plethora of injuries. Connor Cook eventually settled in under center and got into an unprecedented groove, while the basketball team trudged through their schedule with nine different lineups in 14 games to get off to the best start in program history.

The Potter Park Zoo received a new addition Wednesday afternoon when Willow, a moose from Anchorage, Ala., was brought into her new home. Willow, 8, was brought to Lansing after her mother was struck by a vehicle back in Anchorage, according to a statement from Potter Park Zoo. Potter Park Zoo’s Director of Animal Health, Dr. Tara Harrison, travelled to Anchorage to accompany the moose on her trip to Lansing, a trip that was more than 3,800 miles long. The Potter Park Zoo administration said Willow will not be on display until her extensive enclosure is completed sometime during the 2014 season. The staff at the zoo has been working with many people, such as MSU county parks, and local tree services, hoping to make the environment suitable for the young moose.

Walking into Tuesday’s game, No. 3 MSU knew it would have to contain Indiana freshman forward Noah Vonleh, who is nearly averaging a double-double in his young career.

Vonleh, who started the game scoring seven of Indiana’s first 11 points, almost went missing in the second half, scoring only four points and attempting no 3-pointers.
