Some of the commitments for that class said they are unsure whether they'll stay committed to MSU now that a new head coach is on the way. But MSU's prized recruit, quarterback Keith Nichol of Lowell, looks to be headed to MSU no matter what happens with the coaching situation. "He is not planning on making a change — he is not planning on de-committing," Gary Nichol, Keith's father, said Thursday.
Once again, there is a new low for Spartans football. In the past, I would eagerly wait until Indiana and Illinois played each other because one of them had to win.
Between the campaign ads flooding newspapers, the commercials being shown on TV and even the Facebook groups I am being invited to join, I am sick and tired of hearing how Proposal 2 is going to hurt anyone who is not a white male.

One day after running in his first marathon, Jay Hanna already is planning the next one. Forget that he's sore — the inevitable result of the 26.2-mile run through Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, on Sunday — or that he's walking with a slight limp. He doesn't care. Running is how he clears his mind.
Sitting within arm's reach of each other at a table in the dimly lit Magdalena's Tea House, Nancy Brandon and Miko Fussom discussed how they made their dreams reality. "Are you sisters?" I asked, as the women sipped from cups of water.

Democratic state Sen. Gretchen Whitmer is readying herself for her second election in less than a year.

This time she's up against Republican challenger Frank Lambert. Both candidates agree that educational funding is an important issue facing Michigan residents.
For the MSU men's basketball team to succeed this year, two players who dwelled in the shadows last season are going to be forced to step in and make an impact. Those two — sophomores Maurice Joseph and Goran Suton — will be counted on to not only provide depth and quality minutes, but also provide a scoring punch, head coach Tom Izzo said. Suton was a regular part of the revolving door at power forward last season, but struggled to string together consistent performances.
