Two down, one to go. Democratic Gov. Jennifer Granholm and Republican candidate Dick DeVos continued their attacks in the second of three televised debates Tuesday night. While DeVos' speaking ability improved significantly from the first debate just a week before, his pro-business stance was the same.
• You scream "He did it again!" any time you see Craig Monroe on TV. • You remember Shane Halter playing all nine positions in a 2000 game. • You buy Little Caesars Pizza just so Mike Ilitch has the money to attract big-name free agents. • You hope the next statue erected in Comerica Park is of Rod Allen. • You have a jersey with "Palmer" or "Gonzalez" on it and aren't embarrassed to wear it. • You get cold sweats when you hear the name Higginson. • Your favorite non-Tiger is Milwaukee Brewers' Prince Fielder just because of his dad. • You memorized at least two "Who's Your Tiger?" commercials. • You dream of having Paws at your birthday party. • You think you're faster than Sean Casey.
After starting 3-0, the Spartans were faced with a golden opportunity — a chance to make a statement and jump into the Top 25 with a nationally televised game against then-No.
In response to "Students deliver mixed debut performances," (SN 10/9), I would like to say that I am curious to know who Amy Oprean has been talking to about Shakespearean literature.
It only took half the season, but college football finally had a weekend that separated the contenders from the pretenders.
MSU's kick and punt coverage against Ohio State returner Ted Ginn Jr. The Spartans are last in the Big Ten on kickoff coverage, and this week they face one of the nation's most dangerous returners: Ted Ginn Jr.
No. 1 Ohio State at MSU 3:30 p.m. Saturday, Spartan Stadium, ABC SH - Remember the last time MSU faced Ohio State when it was ranked No.
Liz O'Brien isn't Muslim, but she fasted from sunup to sundown on Thursday to learn more about the religion. The interdisciplinary studies in social science sophomore attended a "Fast-A-Thon" in Holmes Hall that was sponsored by the Muslim Students' Association, or MSA.
It's still unbelievable to me that I can turn on postseason baseball in October to hear playoff play-by-play commentator Joe Buck's voice for a Detroit Tigers game.
There is always a lot going on in and around Comerica Park before, during and after a Tigers game. Here's a little bit of what State Newsers have experienced in going to games on the corner of Montcalm and Witherell streets. WHERE TO EAT Elwood Grill — 300 Adams Ave. Try: The Fowl Ball, a deliciously puny grilled chicken sandwich complete with barbecue sauce, grilled onions, bacon and cheddar cheese. Pros: After the big move, owner Chuck Forbes restored The Elwood inside and out.
Twenty-one years ago, he proudly bled green and white. Now, he says he has "the greatest job in the world" — supporting the navy and orange.
Some numbers are always in the news. The number of U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq is often reported by the media.
Student government officials throughout the Big Ten are fighting for student input regarding decisions made by university officials at Penn State University. The university's administration seized control of the Undergraduate Student Government, or USG, and replaced it with the University Park Undergraduate Association, or UPUA, a student advocacy group. ASMSU, MSU's student government, created and passed a bill at its meeting last Thursday showing support for the USG and allowing Roger Ludy, ASMSU's Student Assembly chairperson, to contact Penn State University officials. The Penn State administration eliminated the USG's authority and appointed students to the UPUA, ASMSU officials said. In officially recognizing the USG, ASMSU joins eight of 11 universities within the Association of Big Ten Students, which is composed of Big Ten university undergraduate student governments. Julielyn Gibbons, external affairs vice chairperson for ASMSU's Student Assembly, said if roles were reversed, she would hope other schools would do the same and offer their support. "Unlike ASMSU and other student governments in the Big Ten, we have no power — none," said Nick Stathes, USG's president.
When did the world start spinning so fast that it made it impossible to keep up with everything going on?
This season hasn't gone the way MSU field hockey head coach Rolf van de Kerkhof had imagined. With a 4-9-0 record going into Saturday's noon game against Iowa, MSU's only hope of making the NCAA Tournament will come by winning the Big Ten Tournament. In reality, that renders the final five games of the regular season almost meaningless except for building confidence. "We'd like to get a couple of wins, and we will get a couple of wins, especially if we continue to develop the way we are right now," van de Kerkhof said.
Correction: Courtney Phillips' major should have been identified as hospitality business, not nursing. Changing diapers after class or work is not something most college students can relate to, but for MSU nursing senior and single parent Courtney Phillips, it's a daily ritual. As Halloween approaches, Phillips' 16-month-old son Noah, dressed in navy blue pants and a teal blue Beatles shirt, sits on his mom's lap with a big smile across his face as Phillips does all the work carving the pumpkin. Phillips said Tuesdays and Thursdays can be her busiest days, with classes from 8 a.m.
Last week, there was a campus event that involved thousands of students and hundreds of multimillion-dollar companies — and it had nothing to do with sports. It was the largest career fair in MSU history: Career Gallery 2006.
The MSU Product Center for Agriculture and Natural Resources will sponsor a Road to Independence workshop Nov.
Beta Theta Pi, one of MSU's biggest fraternities, has been "disbanded" for not maintaining an alcohol-free house. "Disbanded status" means the fraternity can't claim to be affiliated with the national chapter or hold any events, such as Rush, as members of the national group. The former MSU chapter broke several fraternity policies, including being issued noise violations, but was disbanded mainly for violating rules pertaining to alcohol, said Stephen Becker, administrative secretary for the national chapter. "The chapter was informed that it would have to adhere to the directives, but it didn't happen," Becker said. Luke Michels, president of the MSU group, said his fraternity followed all of the directives but interpreted them differently than the national chapter. "The men in the house who are 21 said that they should have the right to drink," Michels said. The decision from the national chapter was passed about two weeks ago. A.J.
Jon Stewart's "The Daily Show" is funny, entertaining and apparently just as informative as traditional networks' evening news. An Indiana University study released last week divulged some not-too-surprising information about the news media — Stewart's "fake news" program is "just as substantive" as regular network news coverage. With little context and analysis on most nightly news programs, this shouldn't be a huge shock, but it should be a wake-up call to viewers who consider their network's news coverage more serious and superior to shows like Stewart's. "The Daily Show" shouldn't be brushed off as fluff.
