Michigan State sucks because they’re responsible for the worst sports day of my college life. I didn’t know what it meant to be a Northwestern fan until October 21, 2006. Before that day, I knew the football team was bad that year, they were 2-5 entering the contest, including a loss to FCS school New Hampshire. But I didn’t know they had the ability to rip my heart out and then stomp on it repeatedly. more 
Madness? This… is… a game against the Spartans!
PLAYER TO WATCH:
Michigan State’s Mr. Strong, Junior LB Greg Jones
The state of Michigan is generally famous for the motors it puts in its cars. However, it’s entirely possible that if the engineers at GM were able to replicate the motor that runs inside of Jones on gameday, they might not have gone bankrupt in the first place. This All-American candidate will be the best defensive player the ‘Cats face all year. Mr. Jones is third in the nation with 71 tackles – which obviously leads his team and the Big Ten. Last year’s conference first-teamer also has three sacks, three quarterback hurries, 6.5 tackles-for-loss, one fumble recovery and a knack for making the opposing team soil themselves. The only thing this 228-pound man from Cincinnati, Ohio, lacks is a bangin’ hip-hop track named after him… wait, nevermind more
It’s a phenomenon that I haven’t been able to comprehend since arriving at Northwestern.
There are plenty of sports fans at Northwestern. Walking around campus, one can see Cubs hats, Bears jerseys, Bulls shirts and merchandise from professional and college sports teams from across the country. On fall Sunday afternoons, yelling and cheering can be heard all across campus, especially in the fraternity quads, based on the outcomes of NFL games. more

A Big Ten Education
This was a pretty uneventful week in the Big Ten. Still, some tidbits were cleared up. Purdue excels at fumbling, Wisconsin is still legit, Illinois is still bad, and Iowa remains just plain strange.
Michigan St. 26 #22 Michigan 20:
Considering Michigan only beat Notre Dame, who I still refuse to call anything better than decent, this shouldn’t be a shock. The Spartans disappointed in their first four games, and hosting an in-state rivalry in a must-win game was the recipe for them to get back on track. On a sidenote, my friend from Michigan traveled to East Lansing for the game and called Spartan fans annoying. What’s that phrase about a pot calling a kettle black? more
