I felt compelled to write to the voice of MSU in response to Saturday’s grossly deficient performance by the purported Spartan football team. I am so disgusted by what I saw that I feel the season is on the brink of being ruined after only week three. Football head coach Bobby Williams should be ashamed and disturbed at what he saw from himself, his players and his personnel on Saturday. They were manhandled in every aspect of the game by a team that, although talented, had no business coming into Spartan Stadium and beating up on the Spartans the way it did. It is outrageously apparent Williams lacks the intangibles to coach MSU to a higher level. Critics and experts said MSU and the University of Michigan both should be undefeated when they meet in November, but longtime Spartan fans knew in the backs of their minds this dream would not be fulfilled. The nation laughed as MSU had assembled a schedule that was so favorable to a glorious season its record would almost have an asterisk next to it should it play out the way it was supposed to. Well, fans don’t have to worry about that because Williams and the Spartans have done it again. I don’t care if MSU comes to play next week and beats Notre Dame, even if the Irish might be a better team this year than in recent years. MSU should come to play every week.

But, because of the hidden factors behind the continuous rising figures, there are concerns that the school might be on a road to elitism - not being accessible to the average Michiganian.
