Letters from community members regarding John Engler's interview with The State News Editorial Board.
OPINION
Column: MSU's quarterback controversy isn't why offense is struggling
The problem with Michigan State football this season is less about the quarterback dilemma surrounding Brian Lewerke and Rocky Lombardi, and more about the giant step back the entire Spartan offense has taken compared to last year.
OPINION
Letter: Reporting rape is usually hopeless. Believe survivors.
By a senior at Michigan State University.
OPINION
Column: Michigan State's loss to Ohio State was a summary of its season
The 18th-ranked Spartans' 26-6 loss to Ohio State Saturday afternoon was their season summarized in one game.
OPINION
Column: Brian Lewerke should take a page out of LJ Scott's book — heal first, play later
If Brian Lewerke’s feeling pain every time he throws the ball, and not performing at his usual level — in the passing game at least — he should let his backup Rocky Lombardi play until he’s 100 percent.

Letter: Reclaim MSU responds to State News Board of Trustees endorsements
By Reclaim MSU and the MSU chapter of the Roosevelt Institute
OPINION
Editorial: Vote yes on all three proposals
The three proposals on the Nov. 6 ballot present tangible, pro-democracy initiatives and The State News recommends a “Yes” vote for all three.
OPINION
Editorial: This election, reject the Republican Party
Since the 2016 election, one party has systematically failed to support a healthy democratic process. The Republican Party cut a deep divide through the electorate with a party-wide refusal to condemn the actions and rhetoric of President Donald Trump when sorely needed.
OPINION
Editorial: Vote Scott, Tebay for trustees — but not because of party
The State News endorses Democratic candidates Brianna Scott and Kelly Tebay, but their party — unlike our endorsement of all other candidates — is not what gets them the nod.
OPINION
Column: Success for men's basketball tied to discipline of Cassius Winston
This season falls on Cassius Winston, the junior point guard from the heralded 2016 class that thus far hasn’t quite lived up to expectations.
OPINION
Column: Experience, upperclassmen will benefit men's basketball team
Despite losing talented forwards Miles Bridges and Jaren Jackson Jr. to the NBA after last season, Tom Izzo's more experienced team this year will be just fine.

OPINION
Column: Lombardi's performance vs. Purdue shows promising future, but Lewerke's still the guy
Backup quarterback Rocky Lombardi shined Saturday in Michigan State's 23-13 win over Purdue, in his first-career start for the Spartans. But don't expect him to take the starting job from Brian Lewerke just yet.
OPINION
Column: The University of Michigan is everything I am not
I knew I wanted to be a reporter. And MSU is the best in the state for that. Though the Michigan Daily is quite the paper, it cannot compare to the rigor The State News treks its students through.
OPINION
Column: 'Blessed be the Lord' I am not a U-M student
If it weren’t for the trademark arrogance and complacent recruiting tactics of the University of Michigan in the 1960s, I may very well be a Wolverine.
OPINION
Column: People told me to apply to U-M, but here's why I chose MSU
I didn't want the "superior" school and the "superior" school didn't want me.
OPINION
Editorial: Silence is not the response to sexual assault
Silence cannot be our answer to sexual assault.
OPINION
Dueling column: Football rivalry extends to student newspapers
Every year The State News and The Michigan Daily exchange dueling columns on the rivalry before the MSU vs. U-M football game.
OPINION
Column: Being a Michigan fan at MSU goes beyond the gridiron
The MSU and University of Michigan rivalry is arguably one of the biggest rivalries in sports, academics and anything else you can possibly imagine within the state of Michigan. There’s very little love lost between the fans and students of the two universities, causing a lot of bad blood.
