In response to the earthquake that hit Haiti last week and the damaging after shock, Michigan State Students are coming together to help the cause. As you have heard on the news, hundreds of thousands have been affected by this tragedy. Many have lost their family members and their homes have been left in ruins. This unfortunate event has caused suffering for many families, including children who have no food, water or medical supplies that they so desperately need. These innocent people truly need help in any form that it can be provided. If you would like to make a donation to help the relief efforts click here for a list of organizations or stop by any Chandler Crossings location. Show your Spartan Pride and represent our community by stepping up and helping people in need. Together we can make a difference!

Week 1 of college football in the Big 10 wasn’t exactly full of surprises. Every team that was supposed to win their first regular season game did, including the University of Michigan who beat their in state opponent Western Michigan. Every part of me wants to write an entire blog about how ridiculous it is that UofM fans are actually claiming, “We’re back!”, after beating what looked to be an average MAC team. Upon that writing process I am sure I would break out in to hysteric laughter, resulting in myself fainting in bewilderment. As my primary doctor is on vacation this week, I really shouldn’t take any chances.
What is blog worthy however was the play of both Michigan State University Quarterbacks, Kirk Cousins and Keith Nichol. Both showed the ability to throw the ball down field, which is something this team greatly lacked in the Brian Hoyer era. The players appeared confident in the pocket, with Nichol highlighting his ability to escape broken protection on several occasions. Overall, Cousins had the better afternoon at Spartan Stadium, but Mark Dantonio must be pleased with knowing he has two quarterbacks with the ability to not only not lose games for the team, but flat out win them.
Blair White had an All-Conference afternoon, catching 9 passes for 162 yards and 2 touchdowns. What amazes me is teams still haven’t figured out this guy is a big time reciever. The only logical conclusion I have is that Montana State simply couldn’t cover him due to lack of talent. MSU will have to keep planning ways to get White the ball, as I can promise he wont be a hidden talent for long.
Overall, it was a promising start for the Spartans in 2009, and will serve to be an excellent tune up game for both Central Michigan and Notre Dame.
