Does MSU have to play this game?I'm not looking forward to it, I doubt many fans are looking forward to it, and I know Indiana quarterback Matt LoVecchio isn't looking forward to it, unless he likes being repeatedly driven into the turf of Spartan Stadium.Just when the Spartans begin to pick up steam, they have to play perennial mental roadblock Indiana.

I have always been an MSU fan and now you are turning me off because of your greed. Any sports team that cannot have players' names on their jerseys do not deserve to ever get TV coverage. The only reason for taking off the names is to force the crowd to purchase a program to find out who the players are.

I am going to try to give The State News a bit of advice regarding the column "Life of a college student can lead to one gigantic headache". The doctor was right, you just need to relax.

No. 9 Michigan at No. 23 Iowa U-M can consider itself 1-0 with six games remaining - each one a necessary conference win.

After MSU's contract with two travel agencies expired last year, university officials are considering making changes to its travel management system, which gives discount options to faculty members.

He's hungry, and he's ready to take his aggression out on any and all of the Spartans' opponents.After standing on the sidelines, itching to get involved in the revival that is the 2003 MSU football team, Eric Knott will finally get a chance to back up his claim of being the best tight end in the Big Ten.He's the physical, pass-catching and power blocking tight end that would fit perfectly into any offense, especially one that relies on distributing the ball to multiple receivers and, with no fullback, uses tight ends as blockers."Expect Eric Knott to make a play here and there, but if my number's not getting called, I'm (going to) make sure that I'm down the field, making a key block, a 100 percent effort," Knott said.

National Coming Out Day began to recognize and celebrate the lives of LBGT people.
Like the small, quiet kid in class who becomes Bill Gates, a Big Ten team has traveled from the depths of the conference standings to the top each of the last three seasons.All three years, a team has gone from not having a winning conference record one season to winning at least a share of the Big Ten title the next.With a new coach, a new team-oriented attitude and a recent upset win over last year's surprise team, Iowa, the Spartans are looking to continue their winning ways against Indiana on Homecoming Saturday and be the next surprise Big Ten champion.The reward for the conference crown is at least a New Year's bowl game.
When I attended high school, homecoming week was an orgy everyone wanted a piece of. There were theme days to dress up, floats to be made and spirit games to be won. I remember toga day and how people were whispering through the halls, "I don't have on underwear.
