Dont count out Spartans for bowl bid
During the first nine weeks of the season, MSU seemed more inclined to commit 30 penalties in a game than score 30 points.Last week, the Spartans endured another mistake-ridden loss at Ohio State, blowing numerous offensive opportunities en route to their fifth frustrating conference defeat.

Red Planet depicts same old space exploration
In the tradition of high-tech, futuristic science fiction films about aliens, faraway planets and the occasional faulty space shuttle, “Red Planet” does not disappoint. But, in the tradition of really bad movies about Mars (namely last year’s dud, “Mission to Mars”), it seems “Red Planet” does in fact dishearten those hoping for something more. The movie, despite its innovative special effects and high-budget gadgets, doesn’t really do anything that hasn’t been done countless times in the past year, such as in “Pitch Black,” which accomplished a lot more with a similar story. The story takes place in 2050.
