Each year before the MSU vs. University of Michigan football game, The State News and The Michigan Daily, the student newspaper at U-M, share columns on the rivalry.
To better understand Ferentz and Iowa, The State News interviewed Courtney Baumann, the football editor for The Daily Iowan, and asked her four questions about the visiting Hawkeyes.
To this end, I can’t ascribe it a favorable rating, regardless of how giddy its lovely action scenes made me.
Let’s get this clear and out of the way — comparing this Spartan team to the 2016 edition isn’t just simple, it’s lazy.
If Saturday night’s game against Notre Dame was indeed the Spartans’ first true test of the season, well, they failed. Sure, the Spartans' history with Notre Dame reveals that you shouldn't use the result of this game as a platform to forecast the rest of the season, but it does disclose that MSU needs immediate changes to be made.
Though it is our job to break news and keep the students informed, MSU should have told you about DeVos before we did.

And that unpredictable, uncertain nature of play might shock a ranked opponent or two. That chip-on-the-shoulder, underdog mentality has been a crux Spartan nation loves to boast.
I grew up on MSU's campus. It's easy to think I'm accustomed to everything there is to know about MSU and the surrounding area. But I don't think I'll ever get used to it.
"Are you, like, sober right now?" Yes. The answer is always "yes." The answer to that question has and might always be "yes,” for my college career and life — even though I still go to parties. And, even more surprisingly, still get invited to them.
The State News will always be here as a listening ear or a conversation starter. We will inform you of the latest news and uncover falsities of massive proportion. We will hold our institution accountable rain or shine, class or cancelled.
