An actor has a lot to live up to when he’s following in the footsteps of Jack Nicholson and Gary Sinise, but Ian Griffin worked well as the lead role in “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.” The Riverwalk production of the classic play opened this weekend at the Riverwalk Theatre, 228 Museum Drive in Lansing and continues this Thursday through Sunday. It’s billed as an adult comedy, but despite some comic relief, this play is certainly a drama. “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” by Dale Wasserman is a play based on a novel by Ken Kesoy about Randle Patrick McMurphy (Griffin), a man who has been committed to a state mental hospital.
Minneapolis - Yards don’t always equal points.The MSU football team proved that Saturday as it posted 472 yards in a 28-19 loss to Minnesota at the Hubert H.
Minneapolis - Minnesota’s 6-foot-3 wide receiver Ron Johnson was on the cover of the game program in MSU’s 28-19 loss to Minnesota in the Metrodome. Maybe his smaller teammates Marion Barber III and Tellis Redmon should have been. Granted, Johnson had four catches for 73 yards and a touchdown, was a preseason All-American and is the school’s all-time leader in receptions with 176. But in Saturday’s win over MSU, Johnson took the backseat to 5-foot-11 Barber and 6-foot Redmon, who both had late fourth quarter touchdown runs to regain the lead and seal a much-needed conference victory. Barber had 158 yards on 15 carries and Redmon had 134 yards on 22 carries. Substituting both running backs made a difference, especially late in the game, Redmon said. “The mixing up of Marion and I was good because it was the small things that made the difference,” Redmon said.
