LSJ says Spartans will spend holidays somewhere warm
Both of the Lansing State Journal’s MSU writers believe that Michigan State will be heading to a warm climate this bowl season. As far as MSU fans are concerned, it’s about time.
Joe Rexrode believes that the Spartans will go 7-5. In his book, that puts the Spartans in the Insight Bowl in Tempe, Ariz. That sure beats Texas. Last year’s Insight Bowl featured the Big Ten’s #6 team vs. the Big 12’s #6 team.
Columnist Todd Schulz predicts the Spartans will do a little bit better than that at 8-4. He has MSU playing in the Champs Sports Bowl in Orlando, Fla. MSU football + Disney World sounds like a great family vacation to us.
Reporter Joe Rexrode is in his 4th season covering MSU. He predicts a 7-5 season and a trip to the Insight Bowl in Tempe, Ariz.
Columnist Todd Schulz is in his 6th season covering MSU. He predicts an 8-4 mark and a trip to the Champs Sports Bowl in Orlando, Fla.
The LSJ also includes a story from Rexrode on the five variables that could make or break MSU’s season. He reports that Javon Ringer and Cliff Ryan’s names keep coming up in interviews, but that it’ll ultimately be other players that could determine MSU’s success.
wo names keep coming up in conversations with Michigan State players and coaches. Regardless the specific topic at hand - it could be the JonBenet Ramsey saga - they always come around to mentioning Javon Ringer and Cliff Ryan.
Apparently Ringer, a sophomore running back, and Ryan, a senior defensive lineman, are looking good. Like, real good. This is no surprise, but it bears repeating because, well, someone else should have to listen to this stuff every five minutes.
