Per Jerry Tipton of the Lexington Herald, Russell Byrd will choose between Kentucky, Michigan State, and Michigan on Friday: “He felt he had enough information,” Kelly Byrd said about his son. “He’d seen enough, heard enough. He wanted to take this week to pray and discuss this with his mother and father.” Is this a [...]

Why I hate "scUM"
Posted in commentary, tagged wolverines on October 16, 2008 | 19 Comments »
It’s customary in cyberspace for MSU fans to refer to the University of Michigan as “scUM.” I find this bothersome. Reasons: It’s grating on the eyes to encounter a word in the middle of a sentence that looks like something someone accidentally typed when they rested their elbow on the keyboard. It’s uncreative.

MSU has to get to Ford Field (in April) to keep the every-Izzo-player’s-been-to-a-Final-Four streak alive. Kalin Lucas: “I feel this is my team now,” Lucas said. “Last year it was more of me coming in as the new guy. I know what I’m talking about now. “We want to run more this season, our main [...]

There’s just 24 hours left to take a shot at winning a free copy of College Basketball Prospectus 2008-09 by sharing your best Spartan memories. I decided to bump my comments on the new uniforms from the Midnight Madness Flickr slide show. Because analyzing the details of basketball uniforms is just the kind of hard-hitting [...]
