I know that similar opinions have been published in The State News before, but I feel the need to remind Spartan fans to demonstrate more class in Spartan Stadium. I cringe every time I hear the first down cheer roar from the student section.
While I was flipping through the paper, I came across a column titled Jesus is not returning (SN 9/4). This kind of struck my interest. While I was reading, I felt many emotions: anger, sadness and hope. I hope that people like John Bice will find Jesus one day and be just as at peace with their lives as I am with mine. I also felt he was very immature and childish when trying to make his point. The fact that he kept referring to Jesus, heaven and angels as “fairy tales” and “fantasies” was very rude and disrespectful.
The United States has been handling housing the wrong way for far too long. More people are becoming homeless for longer periods of time while the cost of renting houses and apartments skyrockets. In urban areas, run-down, abandoned buildings sit empty while families crowd into shelters and thousands sleep on the streets.
I am appalled at John Bice’s column Jesus is not returning (SN 9/4). The piece was inflammatory, insulting and offered no benefit to readers other than attacking the Christian faith. Attacking another’s religion is simply unacceptable.

If you were standing in line for lunch at your favorite restaurant, you would probably be surprised if the person behind you told you to get out of line. If you were sitting in a lecture hall, you might object to a neighbor instructing you to leave the room, despite your having registered for the class and paid your full tuition/fees. Seems logical, no? So I ask you, fellow Spartans – why would you tell another vehicle to get out of the road?

Spartan football tasted adversity for the first time this season, but they just chewed it up and spit it right back out, defeating Bowling Green 28-17 on Saturday. “The thing that impressed me about our football team is that we did handle adversity,” head coach Mark Dantonio said. “We didn’t just go in there and all of a sudden quit playing and hang our heads. We kept coming back and someone kept making a play.”
“Two-a-days” is a term that many athletes and avid MTV reality show viewers can easily define: a preseason football practice followed by another later that day. As if that weren’t tough enough, there is a 302-person group on MSU’s campus that actually participates in three-a-days: One morning, one afternoon and one evening practice for 10 days before school begins.
