It’s moving time! For those of you who are packing up your East Lansing student apartment here are a few tips to keep in mind: 

1. Notify your telephone, electric, gas, water, and credit card Companies. Forward necessary mail to your new address and make sure to disconnect your gas and electric bill!

2. Make sure that your MSU student apartment is clean and wiped down.

3. Remember all your belongings; do a quick sweep when you are done to make sure you haven’t forgotten anything. Make sure to check under beds, couches, and appliances.

4. Devise a system. You should label your boxes with their destination in your new home. Hang numbered signs on the doorposts of each room and write the same numbers on the appropriate boxes.  If you’re handy with a pencil, sketch a sample layout of your house, number the rooms on it, and post the layout on the truck for reference.

5. Load the rooms to be unloaded first—last. Whatever room is furthest from the entrance in your new home should be that room. In other words, unload back to front. The kitchen should be done at the very end though, because heavy appliances should go in the truck first.

For all of those who have made Chandler Crossings apartment your home this year, we are excited for you to move in and to share the year with you!  

Good luck, and happy packing!

1.  Last year we lost a bunch of good players.  The main spots we will have to fill are Javon Ringer (RB), Brian Hoyer (QB), Justin Kershaw (DT), Brandon Long (DE), Roland Martin (G), Jesse Miller (OT), and last but not least Otis Wiley (S).

2.  Kirk Cousins and Keith Nichol are both vying for the QB position.  My guess is it will end up being Cousins as the starter.

3.  We should have ONE of if not THE best depth in the Big Ten at WR.  As of right now, the receiving core consists of Mark Dell, B.J. Cunningham, Charlie Gantt, Blair White, Myles White and Brian Linthicum.  There are both returning stars and young guns in there that should be able to tear it up downfield.

4.  We may have lost Roland Martin and Jesse miller on our O line, but we still are looking pretty solid with the return of most at that position.  The line up looks like this:  Joel Nitchman (C), Joel Foreman (LG), Rocco Cironi (LT), McGaha will play RG and Deane will fill in at RT.

5.  Good news on the defensive side of the ball.  Gordon, Decker and Jones are all returning to get physical at the linebacker position.

6.  Rucker, Weaver and Fortener will be supporting down field at the safety positions.  This year they won’t have Otis back there with them, but I have a feeling they’ll embrace the new responsibility.  I’m expecting a solid year out of them, being older and wiser with the experience.

7.  “Slippy, Slappy, Simmons, Swannin….Swanson?  Maybe it’s on the briefcase.  Oh yeah!  SWENSONite!”  Can’t forget about “The Leg.”  He sure came through in the clutch for us last year so many times, and there is no reason to expect anything different out of Brett Swenson at the K position in 2009.

Didn’t get the Dumb and Dumber movie reference?  No hard feelings.  I just hope now that you are as ready as I am for MSU football to start.  It is a fantastic time of year.  Don’t forget, taking the CATA bus from your MSU apartment, especially if you’re going to tailgate, is a great option.

Cheers
