The MSU hockey team wants to be a winning team for Halloween.Only two wins will grant the Spartans that treat.That feat can happen this weekend, as the Spartans (3-3 overall, 2-2 CCHA) play a home-and-home series against Ferris State (2-4-0, 1-3-0). Friday's contest at Munn Ice Arena faces off at 8:05 p.m.
The fight song just isn't enough, and bouncing along with the band and cheering at the appropriate time doesn't quite cut it.For MSU and University of Michigan superfans, there's got to be something more.Like a cape, an overnight camp-out or a trans-Atlantic visit.Fans at both universities are gearing up for the big game this weekend by purchasing color-coded gear and selling or scrambling for tickets.But the superfans are going a little further.
Many doubt, the MSU men's basketball schedule is amazing. It has been described as the most brutal schedule in Spartans history.Only time will tell.But the "Magical Journey" head coach Tom Izzo is so fond of isn't a venture down the road.
Staying true to its signature sound, The Strokes delivers an above-average performance on its sophomore album, "Room On Fire." It was with hits such as "Last Nite," "Someday" and "Hard to Explain" that the Strokes used to launched into the American music scene just two years ago.
Editor's note: all quotes in this column are fictitious. After the dramatic success of the "Cold War" and his guarantee that the "BasketBowl" will be "one of the signature moments in Michigan State history," Michigan State Athletic Director Ron Mason is ready to announce the next big Spartan spectacle. "I see 'The Third Trojan War' as a fitting end to this historic trilogy," Mason said.
The MSU men's soccer team will play its two final home games at Old College Field this weekend against Bowling Green and No.
MSU has surprised everyone and the humor of ragging on a Spartans team that fell into the 4-8 abyss last season has run dry. But, in honor of the lack of names on jerseys and the retirement of the No.
I would just like to ask The State News and the Black Coaches Association a question: When did the words "minorities" and "blacks" become synonyms?
It could be called eccentric, but with the results John L. Smith has produced this season, maybe it's genius.With his victory slaps and cowboy grin, John L.
Two years ago, they would've hated each other. Now, they only have to hate each other one week of the year.Former MSU standout tailback T.J.
It should only take a second to dismiss you, Wolverweenies. Light up Spartan Stadium's scoreboard and put me on the clock for a single tick - that's all you're worth. Oh, get uncomfortable.
Instead of leading MSU to another last-second win over Michigan last season, senior quarterback Jeff Smoker wasn't on the field. He wasn't even in uniform as he watched only parts of the Spartans' 49-3 loss in Ann Arbor last season.
Eating large amounts of Snickers candy bars or Reeses Peanut Butter Cups this Halloween is OK, says one Olin Health Center student organization. Respecting and Understanding Body Image, or RUBI, a group that works to promote positive body image and increase eating disorder awareness, distributed fliers this week urging students not to worry about how much candy they eat this weekend. The flier stated "It's the fun that counts, not the calories - enjoy food and celebrate yourself." "You don't need to worry about calories and you don't need to worry about fat," said Erin Ruth, RUBI president and nutritional sciences senior.
Turmoil has come and gone, and as the light begins to shine again on senior quarterback Jeff Smoker, he is climbing his way back to the top of the college football world. His next big step will take place when the Spartans face Michigan in his final matchup with their in-state rival on Saturday. After entering college as a starry-eyed, intimidated 19-year-old, Smoker began his first ascent as quarterback, starting six games his freshman season and 11 games his sophomore year before his world began to fall apart. With national hype abounding and the weight of a university on his shoulders, Smoker folded.
What is wrong with people today? That is all that I can say in regard to some of the recent letters published by The State News.

In "Spartans, U-M past sets 'U' as underdog" (SN 10/27), The State News laments that MSU has lost "16 of the 28 matchups on their home turf." But they fail to mention the far more puzzling (and optimistic) statistic that MSU has won every home game (except 1997) against U-M in the past ten years, despite being consistently ranked lower than U-M (sometimes significantly) at the time of each engagement.
