Who is MSU's biggest rival? If you said Michigan, you're right. Who is U-M biggest rival? If you said MSU, you're wrong, dead wrong. Let me explain. I'm not saying it isn't a rivalry at all, what I'm saying is it's not mutual. MSU fans get all riled up for this one big game all year, while U-M fans get the luxury of looking past the Spartans and yearning for the Buckeyes. And thanks to the most recent 49-3 drubbing MSU got this season, it makes the case for another rival even more appealing.

The letter to the editor that Kyle Munro submitted suggesting the decorations placed on university dormitories suffers from a rather naive understanding of Christmas ("Hall decorations promote Christmas" SN 11/21). I do agree that Christmas certainly originated as a religious holiday, and that many people still hold it to be a religious holiday, but it is certainly false that the modern celebration of the holiday necessitates a religious practice. In modern American culture, Christmas has become so secularized that one need not be Christian to celebrate it.

On Wednesday, student leaders began what could be the start of the push that is needed for MSU to join four other Big Ten schools by honoring same-sex partner benefits for students, and it's about time.

What can I tell you about "Jackass: The Movie" that you don't already know? In case you have yet to see the most painful documentary since "Faces of Death" one through six, "Jackass: The Movie" is no different from the short-lived television series, so it is difficult to summarize a nonexistent story line. Johnny Knoxville and his lackeys Bam Margera, Chris Pontius, Steve-O and Jason "Wee Man" Acuna survive more than an hour and a half of excruciating pain and bruised egos. Alligator tightrope walking, off-road golf carting, off-road tattooing with Henry Rollins, genitalia electroshock, whale shark gumming, cornhole bottle rockets, pole-vaulting, skateboarding, masturbating with sea cucumbers, elderly shoplifting and most importantly, bothering people. Thank you, Johnny.

This one is for Bobby. As controversy clouds begin to push on past Spartan land, home to the season of shame, I finally found one of those "positives, positives, positives, positives," he was speaking of only weeks before his firing. Suit up senior strong safety Thomas Wright. Known by those close, "T" is the leader of the 2002 Spartan squad. He became the role model junior quarterback Jeff Smoker wasn't during a season desperately looking toward somebody, anybody, with answers. Whether he wanted to, the head-shaved, goateed leader assumed the role of the go-to captain, as senior tailback Dawan Moss and Smoker found themselves indefinitely suspended. And so Wright's casual stroll out of Duffy Daugherty says "follow me." His play inside Spartan Stadium says "play at my level." His walk talked all season.
