Spikers look to rebound from U-M shellacking
The No. 14 MSU volleyball team plays No. 20 Wisconsin tonight, but in reality, the Spartans will be playing against themselves. In the last four games, MSU (9-4 overall, 1-2 Big Ten) has not won or lost, but rather been given the win or had it taken away by opponents.

Hoosiers dominate on PlayStation 2
The video gaming experts obviously had no clue when they predicted how good the MSU football team would be this year. Against an Indiana team that comes into MSU as an underdog for Homecoming, the Hoosiers ran up the score against the Spartans, 62-17, to win the Old Brass Spittoon on PlayStation 2. The Spartans are now 1-6 in Videogameland (somehow related to Candyland), and with Minnesota, Michigan, Ohio State and Wisconsin around the corner, the Spartans might not win another video game this season, challenging the Detroit Lions' and Tigers' terrible records. Starting quarterback Matt LoVecchio played less than one quarter, but that was enough for his team to grab a comfortable lead over the Spartans. In that time, the transfer from Notre Dame threw two touchdown passes to Glenn Johnson and one to Courtney Roby, going 6-of-12 for 239 yards before leaving the game with an injury. The Hoosiers then extended their lead to 41-0 at halftime under backup quarterback Graeme McFarland.

Rivalry between Irish all in good fun
I am writing in response to University of Notre Dame student Rachel Larson's letter concerning the actions of some of the Spartan players after MSU's victory over the Irish ("Football players should apologize").

Station with 'Edge' won't be missed
After reading many of the replies to the story covering the demise of 92.1 The Edge ("Radio station loses 'Edge.' turns to pop"), I felt compelled to write in and express my feelings on the station going off the air. As far as I can see it, The Edge was another major music machine playing the music they were paid to play.
