Not that last year’s Lions defense was all that great, but I’m developing a theory that Alex Anzalone was much more important than we realized. Yes, the back end is terrible, but our LB corps has fallen apart.

What TJ said.

Tough loss. That sucked. Cant start slow like that on the road. Defense and OL need a lot of work. Long weekend off. Regroup and find a way to grow. Lot of ball left this season. Lions have the right people in place to make the proper corrections.

"Rivalry" doesn't quite describe KU-Mizzou games. It's a lot more than that. Always has been. #rockchalk

This household needs someone to whip it into shape, and Topanga is just the person/dog to do it. A day in the life of a very busy dog and her people. Fun ending, fun pictures! Lennie says “Good girl!” @DevinScillian @DISD_Libraries #bookaday

Some eye-opening revelations from emails @CraigDMauger unearthed: 👉At least 87 legislators, staffers & state officials got tickets to MSU basketball & football games in 2025. 🏀MSU claims the fair market value of tickets to a men’s basketball game against San Jose St. is the same as Duke and Michigan. 👀House/Senate fiscal agency employees who analyze higher ed budgets took free tickets from MSU. 👀A legislator’s aide asked MSU’s lobby shop if he could get free parking with his free tickets. detroitnews.com/story/news/p…

Michigan State University doles out free tickets to lawmakers, aides

In some instances, lawmakers got free tickets for games against top-ranked basketball teams when the resale value of tickets exceeded the legal limit.
