Known as the “ledges,” the slope sits on the banks of the Grand River and is frequented by rock climbers in the summer.
One of the season’s most defining characteristics has been the mental toughness the volleyball team displayed in several hard-fought matches. So fittingly, it was mental mistakes that cost the team its previous two Big Ten games.
In hindsight, it seems obvious the MSU athletic department would avoid the risk of blasting men’s basketball head coach Tom Izzo out of a cannon and onto an adjacent net. But for a few minutes, the department had many in the crowd fooled.
There was a moment during Saturday’s game when the MSU offense proved how good it can be.
Applications and admittance to law schools around the country are on a downward slope, according to a recent national survey of law school admissions officers by Kaplan Test Prep. In some ways that’s good, MSU officials said. The number of applications throughout the U.S. has declined about 36 percent since 2010, according to the Law School Admission Council, or LSAC — meaning fewer people are applying, and they are sending out fewer applications.

Proponents of a new bill moving through Michigan’s House of Representatives are looking to increase the penalties on drivers who injure or kill pedestrians and cyclists. The proposed legislation, sponsored by Rep. Ed McBroom, R-Vulcan, would amend a current law which details the punishments for moving violations that result in criminal penalties for drivers who hit agricultural equipment operators on Michigan’s roads.
The Spartans played with fire Saturday and emerged unscathed. If the worst team in the Big Ten wasn’t on the opposing sideline, though, there’s no guarantee they wouldn’t have been burned.

This past summer, six of my friends from high school and I loaded into a minivan and headed to a county park to watch a fireworks show. Talking and singing at the top of our lungs, we were goofing around the whole way there. We had just entered a roundabout when the car in front of us slammed on its brakes. By the time my friend hit her brakes, it was too late.
