Who Stole the Spartans?
Look, no one expected the football team to beat Penn State. Maybe cover the spread, but not beat them. And of course, they played about like that. Let's face it, after losing games that they could have won to Michigan and Ohio State, they pretty much mailed in the rest of the season, beating only lowly Indiana one their way to a losing record. But the basketball team? I was looking forward to this year, and they go out and lose their first official game of the year to Hawaii. HAWAII?!?!?! For whatever reason, it seems that the entire team had leg cramps, and at crucial points in the second half, there were 4 freshman on the floor. Ridiculous. They need to get better quick, as they play Chaminade today at 2:30 on ESPN2.
Sunday's games went well though. The Giants had another big 4th quarter to beat the Eagles. The Redskins lost to the Raiders. I won my parlay wager (Tampa Bay +6 over Atlanta and New Orleans +9.5 over New England). And we won our curling game yesterday, in spite of the fact that I gave up a 6 point lead in one end! Crazy.
If it weren't for sports, what would I write about?

You forgot to mention that the special teams coach for MSU will likely be fired if he has not been already. They lost the Ohio State and Michigan games on special teams mistakes and in the Penn State game, they have a field goal attampt to draw within a touchdown. Of course, they screwed it up. PSU scores on the next possession, game over. Pathetic for a Big Ten team to have special teams like that.
make that... the special teams coach better be fired. John L needs to make the coaches as accountable as he made the kickers.
The Spartans better be careful as they are only up 6 at the half against Chaminade. More cramps could mean loss number 2.
